    Thankyou all got welcoming me to the forum.

    Carni don't worry about the pronunciation of Spumante I've made worse sshh.

    I like the poem D ........ Dark asana you can still adopt a row of vines even if you are still with caravan club. We have lots coming with motor homes and have a special site for them.

    Pobs How many years I haven't heard this word. I was born in Lancashire and after we went to live in Nottm I always passed the school holidays with my grandparents and always had pobs for breakfast. I grew up thinking it was a Lancashire thing

    Hi I'm Brenda , Born in Barrow in Furness, went to live in Nottingham when I was 5. Married in Nottm and in 1970 went to live in Italy returned to Nottm in 1971. Went back to live in Italy in 1988 and stayed until 1994. The sunshine and wine called us again and now we are here from 2000 and here we will stay. I'm getting too old for all this packing and unpacking. Besides both my children and grandchildren are here.

    We live in the north near Asti ( home of Asti Spumante) in the midst of the vineyards and not far from the village of Barolo. Anyone interested in adopting a line of vines? We have an adoption plan here in the village. The plan is to adopt a line or two, help with the vendemia ( picking grapes) join in the local activities ( making it part of a holiday) and in May every year we have La festa del vino ( wine festival)

    You take home 6 bottles of wine ( Barbera) labeled with your own name. The festival consists of various courtyards with food and wine. The idea is you can try all the wines and local dishes at a low price.

    We have visitors from all over Europe and it's a fantastic festival.

    Thankyou very much for the welcome Michael. Maybe I will find many (or even a few) old friends here. Browsing yesterday I came across a name that was part of a familiar phrase here in Italy, looking at photo I didn't recognize him straightaway but on a second look it turned out to be the husband of a close friend of mine. We keep in touch regularly and actually heard from her yesterday. Telepathy perhaps? Anyway hello D. (Chulla)

    Certainly I have a lot of fond memories of Nottingham after all it was my home for many years although it wasn't my birth place. Certainly I will post.
