Hello

We have been living here in Northern Italy for over 5 years. I did live here about 16 years ago when I first married my Italian husband but then we moved to England.
It was the day 5 years ago when we made that strange decision to move back here. I always thought of Italy as a great place to visit not to live so I don't know what was going in my mind. We have regretted our decision ever since. So now 5 years later we are trying to sell our home and move on. I hope to tell you about some of the ups and hopefully very few downs we encounter over the next few months. I hope it will be quite fun. Trying to stay optimistic and laughing keeps me going throughout some of the absurdities that I have encountered and will encounter.

So just to be brief today, our estate agent came to view the house and give us the usual spiel 30/10/09. We said we wanted to go with him. The following Saturday he erected the 'For Sale' sign. Now 17/11/09 the house is still not displayed in the office window. Well I am not surprised. I have learnt to take things the Italian way - 'piano piano' slowly slowly.

Until tomorrow,
Stephanie
