Hi Penny, Where in Umbria is your friend? I'd be interested in the targetted footprint of Tooway to see if I could try it here in Le Marche, although I've been generally happy with Fidoka here for the last three years. I might get in touch to ask about a trial................. S

Whilst I cannot help with the queries that you have, it's very good of you to translate this info. I have been aware of the timings and costings for a few years but shamefully had not thought that anyone would be interested to know that (in the summer time), it is better to have most of your pool pump, dishwasher etc working through the night time (if possible) as it is a cheaper tariff. Well done, a lot of people will make use of this info, S

sebastaino, I tend to agree with your view, I suspect that the Chef Victor Casanova (that praises the food) may be a Marchigiano ? I havn't seen (as yet) much sign of 'tempura becoming a regular "italian" dish' other than at the nearby Japanese restaurant ........... buon appetito ! S

I think my neighbour calls it a very similar name - sounds like 'cheekoria', with the emphasis on the 'o' (as in orange) bit. He farms around our place and at times his wife (and others) come down and dig up baskets full of (what I think) is weeds, they say to me just take them, but weeds look all the same to me. I occasionally see  cars parked up near the fields on the Piane de Falerone road with lots of people walking around with baskets picking greens out of the fields. They know what to do around here !
