MED??????????

My modem has been down, it's back now. Realized how much more reading and movie watching I manage to do if I don't mumsnet, incredible! Have a lovely Easter holiday everybody, we are staying in London to do London stuff. Il sud dell'Italia e' bellissimo. Andateci!

Magari Med..I love the south and I will get Dh there one day as I love the people , the scenery , the food. I have been lucky to see more of Italy than of the UK . As for noi a pasqua stiamo qua not doing anything special . Wonder how Franca is doing in SF ...she must be there now .

no no, we are flying out on tuesday... we are in milan... took a day to get here... I'm knackered! Guess what I'm watching? Carlo Verdone's 'Borotalco', I think it must be 25 yr old!!!
ciao a tutte ragazze!

Milano hope the temperature and weather is better than here its another grey day !! Think spring has vanished for a while mind you thay say its coming back next week ...Heres hoping. Buon Milano Franca e buon viaggio on Tuesday.

lol at Borotalco con Carlo Verdone! Mi sento vecchia.

we are leaving from Milan, Cali, we are leaving the children with the grandparents.
It's cold and grey here as well. brrrrrrrr

• it's warm here in London!

Is anybody out there???

I'm not Italian but live in Italy do I count?

Well I am the same buat have been made to feel welcome on this thread.

opps boat !

Where are you Rosa?

La bella Venezia ... But I see from the translators thread you are in Le Marche.. I lived in Senigallia for a summer !

Just down the road from me. Can't understand why they built the most disgusting coloured hotel in the world next to the castle. Beautiful castle though

Certo che siete le benvenute!!!

I didn't know you were in Venice Rosa, my favourite place!!

MaryPOp1 how long have you been there?

When I was in Senigallia the hotels were tired and needing a re vamp. Also I could not understand why the railway ran right adjacent to the beach with a row of hotels sandwiched in the middle. My idea of a nightmare.
Pippi Venezia is nice at the mo ...just for a bit longer and then the humidity sets in and it is horrible. It is full of gite at the moment streams of children in yellow baseball caps !

Its still the same. I've only visited venice once and it was lovely for a visit, is it difficult to live there?

Its not easy you have to adjust 100% I miss not being able to park the car under the house having to ration the shopping - get what you can carry but we do get heavy stuff delivered. Most of all I miss gardens ! We are lucky as live near a park but it is not well maintained and play area is sooo small . I loved Le Marche when I was there it had that feeling of not yet being discovered by tourists. But that was a good few years ago.
