Italy has been our home for more than 13 years now, and the house in the photo for most of that time. This blog documents the joys and problems of our existence day by day.
Some of our difficulties derive from where we live, but I still love living here. Clive is more circumspect. By reading about our daily life, perhaps you will be able to tell whose view is the more accurate. Does the pleasure outweigh the pain? Or will my writing betray a less rose-tinted reality?
You can also see the books we’ve written and published by clicking on the image below:

We sail through the internet seeing things, that we might never otherwise have seen, yet rarely do we see the real people, and the ups and downs of their lives.
My daughter developed juvenile arthritis at the age of four. She is now thirty, uses a power-chair and has had several joints replaced. Yet she has a much sunnier disposition than me and takes on challenges that I’m sure I wouldn’t have dared approach.
Best wishes – I’ll be back to visit and share some of that Italian light.
What a lovely story. My very best wishes to you and your daughter.
Hi I just came on this page while searching for poems. I would love to visit Italy.
I like your blueberry picture on main page.
Lovely story.
Wishing your family back to good health.
Keep up your writing.
I will come back to visit again
Many thanks for your good wishes and I hope we’ll hear from you again. BTW they’re grapes not blueberries, but I agree they do look like blueberries!

Hi Eunice, I haven’t yet put up my award (which I’m really pleased with) because I’m still deciding who best to pass it on to and wanted to do that at the same time. Is that OK?
OH yes take your time not everyone can take 2 days to load and let know all I shared with 🙂
Sit and enjoy
Eunice
