Things grow SO fast here (in le Marche) that I was wondering if it would be throwing some potatoes into the ground to see if they grow? Is it too hot or too dry does one think? S

Can I just say that after expressing much dismay and dissatisfaction with the manner  (and way) of the changes to Italymag over recent months...............I for one think that it now is working like a dream..................very very well done fo

I think I (who have been very disappointed in the past!) need to eat some humble pie.......... Now that the enhancements have been made, (with the honourable exception of the search facilit) the site is now workable and (for me) understandable....

    Ciao Penny, Thanks for the call on Amandola for lunch...........I have been there many times but not seen a place to chill over lunch which you seem to have just confirmed. We live in Penna San Giovanni and we are fancying (don't laugh!)............getting the pulman from PSG to Amandola...............wandering around for a bit, taking in lunch and then getting the pulman back (stop laughing!). It was the lunch bit that I was stuck on due to the (my perceived) lack of lunch spots. We Lago San Ruffino well (Osteria and the Pizzeria) thanks and may well reconsider the masterplan. WE have been (for the last 2/3 years) to the evening string quartet (not sure when it is). Thanks again, S

    Ciao Penny........... Any recommendations for a LAZY lunch in Amandola ..........whilst on our doorstep, we rarely go there as our flightpath tends to cross other locations ! Cheers, S

    I guess the american buyers are likely to be more interested due to exchange rate but ...........maybe more expensive properties? I suspect they may want larger properties with pools etc? S

    It's a why not in my view................ but there will need to be ZERO comeback on Italymag if the sales/freebies don't work for individuals. It would be nice to hear from the adminstrators to say whether or not it will be actualy happening, and if so, when? S

    There is a young lady who helps out at the Pharmacy in PSG who speaks a bit of English (can't recall her name though...sorry!) S

    There are so many (really LOADS) of builders who come to Italy with a massive amount of skills, but unfortunately, there is just no work for them. There is ...........LOADS of 'work', but this work is normally 'sorted' out by the Italian geometras. Understandable in my view.? DO NOT COME TO ITALY expecting to just get into the building work on day 2 (or day 32 or even day 52/352 etc). MASSIVELY downgrade expectations and then build from there....(pardon the pun!) I know 4 different builders here (all super tradesmen) but all four are struggling to find on-going work. Think carefully............. S

    Alan H...............well done...you (over the years) have been a 'gold' mine of information, brief, to the point and invaluable.....bravo! S

    I felt white sad for Fulham..so near yet so far.....congratulations for getting SO close.... I feel ( sort of) saddened that ENGLISH players are 'not so' prominent in the Premiership team squads World Cup forward line looks VERY 'iffy' to me.........Does this mean that we are not producing? S

    Well 'someone' agreed the spending of Benitez, 'someone' said  'here you go.....sign  this contract for squillions'........so these 'someones' need to take a walk down near the 'cast iron' shore late at night and tell the locals who they are........... The assets of the club are at their lowest point in years, at least Man Utd can get 75,000 'supporters' to home games (a couple of million pounds per game coming in).......Our stadium is becoming completely outdated...............very poor......... Ah well ...........good luck Fulham tonight and hope for a good game on Saturday(?) in the FA Cup final... S
