Prior to buying our little bit of Italy, I insisted on having a certificate of habitation fully signed and sealed. Does this have to be renewed at any point or is it only if I sell sometime in the future? S

Apologies for the nature of this subject ! Having a great time here in Le Marche, but one thing that has me stumped is what I can only imagine is some sort of 'poop' (for want of a better word). VERY regularly(maybe weekly), we can be sitting on t

I'm sorry but it sounds like you have some MAJOR problems here. I see that you have a lawyer (I assume he is a good one - expensive?), it seems like you need a friend ( I am not suggesting crossing palms etc etc), but ....... Good luck, S

Allan Mason (Al).......... Bravo!................That would make a LOT of sense, as,............ in the last year or so, some 20/30 beehives arrived 300 metres up the hill from our 'shack'........... We do see (and say) that we are on the 'flight path' of the bees as they seem to go down the hill over our property to somewhere (I don't know where) and then fly back over our property to their hives up the hill. Now then.....................I do not like the poop (obviously!), but can cope with it except that I would think twice about eating outside(oo-err) without cover.............as we may end up with unknown and undesirable additives to our main course !! How do we best address their flightpath (in the right way of course !)........I don't know the owners of the beehives but can find out ...... ciao ciao, S
