Sometimes a week away is what you need to appreciate the place you call home.?
I've just come back from five days in England and, as much as I loved seeing my friends and family, having a glass of wine in a pub, and just soaking up the atmosphere, I really was glad when we landed in Olbia. Admittedly, leaving behind the dull grey skies and returning to brilliant sunshine had something to do with it.?
As of May 1, Mario and I have been in Sardinia nine years. ?In that time we've lived in...

There's no limit to the type of questions that you might be asked. This month I've been asked if I'd be...

Earlier this week I was interviewed on starting a business in Italy by Katie Morell for AmEx OpenForum. As part of that, I was explaining how you should never ever underestimate the amount of time it's going to take you to get things done. What take a two-minute phone call in the UK, can drag on for months over here. If you really are determined to start a business in Italy, then don't let this put you off. But it is somethng you need to be aware of.?
On the upside, I mentioned how things are...

We've got the coldest winter in 25 years here in Italy and even Sardinia, which is usually drenched in sunshine, is caught in its clutches.?
So while we've got the heating whacked up to the max (for as long as the gas lasts) and I'm guzzling back lots of hot drinks to keep warm, I thought I'd be the bearer of some, frankly, fabulous news.?

Happy New Year

I think I'll stop making rash promises because that last post was premature. Two years and three months premature to be precise. At the time, I really thought, no, scratch that, hoped, that I was up to writing again but looking back, I was still floundering, my pockets weighted down by stones of grief and bewilderment.
My memories of 2009 are hazy. One minute I was gulping down too-hot espresso that scorched the back of my throat while mentally running through a lesson plan and checking in the...

This week writer Catherine Sanderson, aka her of Petite Anglaise fame, hit the headlines once again when she announced undramatically/dramatically (undramatically if you're like the status quo, dramatically if you're a journalist having a very slow news day) that she'd decided to quit blogging about her expat life in Paris.
And that was only after a month's absence from the blogosphere and prompts from one concerned reader.
It made me realise that I've never explained my sudden disappearance...
