Dear everybody,
I have decided that I too need to have a blogspot, so that I can show people who I am.
I am English but I have lived in Italy for 30 years. I have two children, Francesco who is 29 and got married to Anna last year, and Giulia, 24 who lives with me. My husband, who was Italian, died three years ago. We live in Novara, which is a small city between Milan and Turin at the foot of the Alps. It is not what you imagine an Italian town to be like - no sun no sea and so on but it is a very clean city and despite being cold in the winter and humid in the summer, it's not a bad place to live.
I teach English conversation in an Italian High school and my pupils are aged 14-19. It is a school for languages and business studies. They all study English and another EU language.
I now want to try and add some photos, but will send this first.
Catherine.
