Why did I move to Italy and write a book about it?
There are a million reasons, and here is one of them.
Autumn in rural Italy.

@sandrat57.bsky.socialWalking rural Italy is fun. Keeps an old gal fit, but some people aren't so friendly!
(eBook still half price in UK)
@sandrat57.bsky.socialAll wrapped up!
This little car is wrapped up snugly...never seen a car wrapped in cling film/saran wrap before...cute and funny.

Dantes inferno was magical.

Sometimes you have to escape writing, marketing...and take in the beauty of a new country.
Refreshing.

@sandrat57.bsky.socialWhy Italy?
When I was a child a brief encounter changed my life. A man I barely knew showed me kindness.
@sandrat57.bsky.socialOh dear...I guess I'm one of the old folks now!

I'm addicted to crazy, chaotic art....wish I could paint!
@sandrat57.bsky.socialA party in the old school house in Colledimezzo. Most villages have a 'Pro Loco' group who arrange parties and events.
Who wouldn't want to live here?

@sandrat57.bsky.socialNot safe to be left alone!
How have I managed to live in four different countries...and still be alive?

September is my favorite month. Good things happen in September. My daughter was born over forty years ago, and last year...my latest book was published.

@sandrat57.bsky.socialGrocery shopping in Italy always brings a smile to my face. Great fresh produce, happy people, and fantastic shopping centers.

@sandrat57.bsky.socialPrayers were definitely needed to help heal the scars of my traumatic Tuesday!
Is retirement in Italy worth it?
Judge for yourself, I wrote a book.

@sandrat57.bsky.socialLiving in a different country means lots of bureaucracy, especially in Italy. Read my book to find out if it was worth it.
