Just joined this evening, great site, had fun reading all the experiences - sooo many spookily like our own. We completed on a country house in Puglia (Ostuni) and have spent all year juggling with what little holiday allowance we have from work and at weekends (thank god for Ryanair!! :) ) travelling to our home from home. We too, have had many a sleepless night on the inflatables but somehow it didn't matter (neither did the aching back or cricked neck!!!). We're embarking on the next stage now - alteration work to get the property ready for rental. Still, toying with the idea of giving it all up for a better life and moving there permanently - can't really put our finger on what's holding us back :( Revisiting next weekend to see if the builder really has started work as he's promised - hmmm, pretty sure we know the answer to that one!!! Started Italian lessons last week (Michel Thomas helped up to a point!) it's really good fun actually. It's been an exciting year so far and we're sure there's more to come.
