Out this afternoon visiting great friends in the valley to be met with complaints Not a usual state of affairs when visiting neighbours but I guess there has to be a first time. I have an amazingly good friendship with the residents here in Valdichiasio the beautiful valley in which Bellaugello Gay Country House is […]

Yes, I’m still here, but IT isn’t
Not a happy guy at all. Last festive season I wrote to all my guests that they could expect a huge bit of news from Bellaugello in January, the original agreed date for the news was the end of December but already by the festive season it was obvious that the deadline was not going […]
Incommunicado
yesterday flurries of snow last night high winds and a day without electricity! This morning white hills winds and still no electricity. It is surprising just how much I rely on that invisible product. Even the battery on my phone is dying and it is with the phone that I am making this post. I […]
HELP!
Categorised as a rant, but in realty it is a plea for help and answers. The subject? Well what do you think it is? Dear readers it is of course my pet bug bear, technology. Not of once the bumbling internet connection, but instead emails. Over the past few days I have had a really […]

Does size really matter?
I have to ask myself what is real in life, sometimes articles in the press make me want to pinch myself, and wonder if they can actually be true or are all a huge wind up. Here is a recent example: On 6th. December the New York Daily News reported a white Italian truffle dug […]
WATCH OUT! THERE’S A RANT ABOUT
For Brokerart the company who offer NO service I am so angry. No time now to explain, but my blood is boiling on two accounts, there is a HUGE rant on the way… Here is a taste of the other of my issues: 15 hours remaining… I could walk the files to Barcelona and have lunch and […]
