Questions Asked

Can anyone tell us if they have any experience of applying for an Italian credit card (or even if it is possible at all). We want to be able to purchase things on Ebay and our Paypal account needs to be linked to a credit card.Thank you.

Do you think it would be possible to set up a 'help group' where we could post our queries and get help and answers?

After last nights BBQ, we have now raised a grand total of €2213.57 for the L'Aquila Earthquake Fund so thanks so much to everyone who supported us and remember you can still donate on the Just Giving website.

Thanks Simon and Jo - we got there in the end!  Do hope you can make it to the BBQ this Friday if you are free - and anyone else of course who may be in the Le Marche/ Amandola area - would be great to see you. We are just trying to make a few extra euro's for L'Aquila and have a fun evening too. Let us know if you can make it.

Answer to: olive picking

Welcome Julie -  Why not try Le Marche - there are lot of olive trees here and the scenary is stunning, very 'real life' and totally unspoilt.

Russ/ Shirlitalia, We used to use Auto Europe when coming over too and always found them very reasonable. Some guests staying at the moment hired a car for 3 weeks for just ove £240 from them! Very good value considering there is ment to be a shortage of rental cars and prices have gone up in general. Just one tip - it you use the UK site rather than the USA one, I have always found the prices to be much cheaper.

Hi Penny - Yes they are back again - when I looked the other day there wasn't a single flight after October and I went through every day. Maybe this is it now- the winter schedual may be now loaded. Thanks

Welcome Conrad, and hope you enjoy the Community. Well I am from Nuthall so not far away (Mum still lives there) - small world isn't it?  We moved to Le Marche a couple of years ago, after buying our house here 8 years ago and renovating it and have never looked back. It is certainly an unspoilt part of Italy, with stunning countryside, mountain walks, peace and quiet, very uncommercialised and has great beaches too! If ever you want to visit let us know - would be good to catch up on all the news from 'home' - hear the IKEA trading estate has been expanding over these last few years!
