I'm Helen. I'm 33, married and live in London. My Italian background dates back to an exchange with an Italian family that started when I was about 11 or 12 and went on throughout all my teens and still happens (though not quite in the same way!) now.
My husband and I bought a place in Puglia last summer and are in the process of doing it up. Having lots of fun dealing with eels in watertanks, wildboars (I think that's what it must have been!) (sounds like a song by duran duran) and getting it in a liveable condition.
Hope to sleep in it next visit.
