I'm starting to come to the end of the mourning period regarding the election. This website I just found, http://www.contro-inaugurazione.it/eng/index.htm, really helped! Living well is the best revenge and I intend to do just that in the peace of the Val d'Orcia. I really hope all of my friends will come to visit once I get settled there. I've never been the best of hosts - sort of a "here's some clean linen, make yourself comfortable, help yourself to anything you like" type - and I like to think that if I'm relaxed and enjoying myself my guests will do likewise. Would that May were here and all the work that getting there entails were behind me!
