We now have a new addition to the family here, a orphaned leveret. It is only about 8 days old now, but seems to be doing quite well and putting on weight. Feeding it a kitten milk mixture. Anyone else had experience of bringing them up??

Italymag's latest post has just amused us here, about the Italian Chef Aldo Zilli, as being one of the first to introduce "proper" Italian food into London.There were many restaurants in London, in the 70's prior to him arriving.One, San Frediano,

Hope nobody has booked flights with this airline in Italyhttp://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-19234661

Didn't take long, before it started. Non Italian B&B!!! From a TripAdvisor commentBreakfast on the patio was excellent- even including bacon and eggs!

Wonder if anyone having the same problems:1. You read a post logged in, then refresh and then it tells you that you have x number of unread posts, even though you have read all.

Because it was raining today, thought to do some price comparisons re non Italian B&B's to Italian ones in Marche. I will not name any, but to be honest, you are better staying in Italian establishments.

You may be able to order it locally. May be worth asking Stephano Lucozzi, as if he does not, he may recommend someone else. With solar PV panels, have seen a few places advertising them, but no idea on cost. Don't forget, that the Nuos is only for domestic hot water and not heating as well.

Apologies for the long delay, but here are the Nuos prices: Model price (euro) Nuos 80 778,00 Nuos 100 822,00 Nuos 120 899,00 Nuos EVO 80 854,00 Nuos EVO 110 922,00 Nuos 200 2187,00 Nuos 250 2227,00 Nuos 250 SOL 2305,00 Nuos EVO SPLIT 80 930,00 Nuos EVO SPLIT 110 998,00 Nuos EVO SPLIT 150 1593,00 Nuos EVO SPLIT 200 1669,00 Nuos EVO SPLIT 300 2305,00 VAT, transport and installation are not included. I think in the near future the first 3 models will be not available. 55% tax deduction is possible until 30/06/2013, in case of traditional water heater substitution, for all models except Nuos 80-100-120 (the cheapest). http://www.nuosariston.it//dati/app/pag/it/Catalogo-gamma-Nuos.pdf

It is a fairly straightforward air source heat pump, but designed for domestic hot water only and not heating. I have asked our office for some guide prices, so will post them as soon as I hear back. Link to the brochure in English which will explain how it works etc http://www.source.gemashop.de/ariston/Ariston-Nuos-Warmwasser-W%C3%A4rme...

Hi Rendo. If you go for the Ariston Nous, then there is no certification needed. Just remember it will need a few hours to heat up and you may need the electric heater, if you arrive and expect instant hot water.

Update. It is putting on weight daily now. Setter is not disturbed with it running over it. Maremma has not got to see it yet!!

Get a few more quotes

Thanks for the answers. I looked on the hare preservation trust UK website and it said to feed it the kitten milk for some time, as that is the closest to the mothers milk. It now has fresh grass in with it as well to nibble on, so it is getting the best we can do for it at the moment. We have no cats, but the Setter likes it, Maremma, still to find out if it will be ok. Qui Gia ... yes did rub its tummy and it peed over the wife's jumper!!!

Sun, 02/10/2013 - 14:01

Thanks. It is something we have never done, so a real challenge at the moment to make sure it survives.

Doors are ridiculously overpriced here, even the internal ones. We had all our internal ones brought over from the UK, and a local carpenter made the frames and fitted/ varnished the doors (7 in all ). Cost was about  3500 Euro, including the UK purchase price. External door bought here at E 1800, has had to be refixed twice, ( warped and would not shut and then would not lock a year or so later ). Best one we had before coming here was made for a French house we had at about E500 and fitted perfectly. Both external doors were Chestnut wood. Window price for 13 UPVC under E 4500, excluding the shutters, which were as expensive

Must admit Gala, that the hardest part was finding the buttermilk to marinade the deer in over here. Thankfully, our friendly cheese making farmer came up with it, so 30hrs marinating, with lardons inserted. Quickly seared in a pan and then oven cooked on high heat for 20 mins. Beautiful and pink,tender as well. The red cabbage, is to a German recipe. Finely chopped onions fried in lard, chopped apple, red wine vinegar, so very similar to what you had made.
