Goofy old gal on the road...in Switzerland.
Sometimes you have to escape writing, marketing...and take in the beauty of a new country.
Refreshing.

Why Italy?
When I was a child a brief encounter changed my life. A man I barely knew showed me kindness.

A party in the old school house in Colledimezzo. Most villages have a 'Pro Loco' group who arrange parties and events.
Who wouldn't want to live here?

Prayers were definitely needed to help heal the scars of my traumatic Tuesday!
Is retirement in Italy worth it?
Judge for yourself, I wrote a book.

Permission to Stay?
Who knows if we’ll still be around to renew that card ten years from now. If we are I’ll be almost eighty, and just as feisty.

Living in a different country means lots of bureaucracy, especially in Italy. Read my book to find out if it was worth it.

My beautiful village in rural Italy was violated a few days ago. A house broken into! So sad, and scary for the residents, most of whom are elderly.

Early afternoon in a tiny village in rural Italy.
There are less than a dozen residents, but where are they?
Maybe hiding behind shutters...watching the stranger in town.

Finished my lovely day in Ascoli at a mouthwatering food truck. The aromas of porchetta, chicken, and Italian sausage were tantalizing.
Life is deliciously good in Italy.

My book 'Speak Slowly, Please I'm English' is the story of a Brit (me) living in America, and then retiring to Italy.
It is a goofy, fun...and sometimes tearful story. Things didn't always go as planned.
