The Great Italian Escape

[herealready]

once again idiots make good television, ok it made Sara and Richard look better than the last one they did, and it's nice to see they are happy and things are working for them.
But that Doris who basicly could not be bothered after the booking were made, I wanted to punch her, and the girl who went back to uk without bothering to close up the house properly. are there really people out there that are this thick?
I have to agree with Alan it was'nt worth missing "the bill" for!

Rather harsh! even by my standards.

LOL (oops, forgot I wasn't allowed to do that any more!).
I'm afraid I don't know who the Clampits are but if what you mean is that we're more Grundy than Home Farm I agree entirely. We're poor farmers, living on a working farm and we're very happy to be living our own dream (although I do sometimes wish Richard & the kids would tidy up after themselves!).
Allan, I think I might remember you... did you stay with us at Easter on our first year of taking guests in the Farmhouse? Go on... share the sour grapes - I promise not to be offended since renting out our house was possibly one of the worst experience of our lives too!
No - you don't normally get paid for appearing on a show like this but if you are clever at marketing you are able to make it pay in other ways.
Cathryn (Rat Girl) didn't leave us a key so we couldn't do anything to help... she also paid almost nothing in exterior renovation (because Richard helped her out) but the work she and her boyfriend did on the interior is naff so it's definitely worth paying a professional if you can afford it.
Anyway, the show time has changed - Thursday's at 8.00pm now.
Today is our last day of filming... Hurrah. Back to simple digging and hoeing.

The Clampits are "The Beverly Hillbillies" - a TV programmme about a simple country family who "struck it rich" and moved to the city. A similar (but reverse) situation to yours. They were rather nice types too - good hearted people - not a bad bone in their bodies - who were often rediculed and exploited. They always won through in the end.

Sounds just like us then... do I recall that they struck oil too? Sarah [[www.casadelsole.co.uk]]

Oops... sorry - am a complete Luddite. I think what I meant was Casa del Sole - Welcome (and am I really so awful?) Sarah

[myabruzzohome]
