Default Hi from Piemonte

Hello to everyone,
I just thought I'd post a quick intro about myself. In 2001 I found myself working in Italy for 6 months and met a lovely Italian girl. I eventually moved out here in 2004 and we rented for nearly 3 years before buying a house and getting married.

I get the impression I may be something of a minority on the forums. My wife and I are in our thirties with still many years of work ahead of us. I hope that with four years of practical experience living in Italy I may be able to contribute something useful from time to time.

Stuart (attrezzista)

P.S: If anyone knows where to buy Cadbury's creme eggs, Walkers Salt & Vinegar crisps and Sharwoods or Pataks curry sauces, please let me know - I will be forever in your debt! :)

Hi Alan,
We're in the province of Novara, near to Borgomanero and the South end of Lake Maggiore.

We certainly are. I guess it's about 20 kilometres as the crow flies - perhaps 20 miles by road. Please let me know when you are going to be in Armeno. If you are agreable, perhaps we could meet in Orta for ice cream and a chat?

Not down again for a while - but will try to remember to bring some
"Cadbury's creme eggs, Walkers Salt & Vinegar crisps and Sharwoods or Pataks curry sauces"
next time we come.
