I am an Italian citizen, but I do not speak the language. I will be coming next year to live in the region and wish to communicate with someone familiar with services for the blind.

I shall be walking from my current home in the French Pyrenees, to the house where I was born, in Blackpool, Lancashire. I plan to take 70 days for the walk and to arrive 70 years, to the day, after I was born. I will be walking an average of 30 kms a day, 6 days a week, for 10 weeks. If anybody wants to follow my planning, preparations, training, and eventually the walk itself (starts on May 15th 2010) my blog address is:www.vicsbigwalk.blogspot.comAny helpful suggestions will be gratefully received.Vic Heaney

We're moving to Florence from Bern, Switzerland, and have to take our empty van from Florence back to Bern on Sunday August 22. Is anyone interested in loading the van with something and paying us for the gas and a modest share of the rental fees to transport it to Switzerland (Bern or somewhere else along the route)? We would be happy to save someone a trip. KC

My girlfriend and I are going to Florence at the end of the month for my birthday. We have a table booked at La Giostra for my birthday, however, neither of us have been to Florence before. So we dont really know what else to do, we are there for 5 days, we intend to go to the duomo as well as some of the art galleries but I was just wondering if there was anything anyone had done that they think would really be worth doing whilst we are there. any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Controversial, I know, but has anyone else read about his suing the UK papers for their reports after the World Cup? I don't lip read or speak Italian well enough, but the papers were all about his remarks (apparently other people do lip read and speak Italian well enough). Plus Zidane has said he won't tell what was said, but that he won't apologise for what he did - he'd have to be pretty annoyed still.
