Today after a long absence I popped in. I am so sorry about what happened to you but I believe this would happen in Calabria. I have just returned from a brief trip to Italy. I spent some of the time in Reggio di Calabria - my late mother's home town with my cousins and aunts. Yes, it certainly is a land without regulations or rules or the regular things we take for granted in Australia. And my dear relatives kept asking me if this was my favourite place in Italy. I wish you all in the best in your return to Oz and yours and your sons continued recovery. Take care.

My son was in hospital in Vibo Valentia this summer for something really minor... but being in an Calabrian hospital for serious things... mamma mia. I hope you and the kids and even bel marito are recovering from the pain and experience.<br /><br />I just discoverd you blog (via an Italian blog page), but I have heard from you before. What a bitty I only discover your writing now, just before you are leaving.<br /><br />Above in the comments you say, you are leaving for the kids. Is it because of education? Kindergarten should be ok in Italy. Would like to know.<br /><br />We have a house in Pizzo, I would love to live there. But I prefer International School for my son - and of couse, my husband's work is not there. So we are based in Thailand for now.<br /><br />Take good care, all the best,<br />see you in blogspace<br />xxx<br />suzie<br />(from PalazzoPizzo)suziehttp://www.palazzopizzo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945600374886655820.post-79354383412239096312012-11-20T13:08:04.108+01:002012-11-20T13:08:04.108+01:00Leanne, I've also recently (like 3 hours ago a...Leanne, I've also recently (like 3 hours ago actually) stumbled across your blog when googling something about sending parcels to Italy- and I just wanted to say I hope you and your beautiful family have a safe journey back to Australia, and I want to wish you all the best!

Thanks for reading the whole blog too!Leanne was in Italy now in Australiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240105726417037664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945600374886655820.post-856001238662196122012-11-17T13:17:44.345+01:002012-11-17T13:17:44.345+01:00Leanne, I feel like I have been on such a long jou...Leanne, I feel like I have been on such a long journey with you.<br /> I first found your blog about 4 days ago as I was searching for information on moving to Italy. Seems like we both have similar backgrounds, both sets of grandparents were born in Calabria but moved to australia during/after the war. I was born in Sydney but after visiting my grandparents home town last year and meeting my Italian relatives who still live there my goal is to move there with my partner.<br /> As soon as I read your first few posts I was hooked and I have since read every single post up until now (basically I've read your blog non stop for 3 days) I can't thank you enough for continuing with this blog and I can't believe how things have gone for you and your family. Even though I am a stranger I am thinking of you and your family and wishing you all the best and sending my positive thoughts and I know things will get better for you.. I hope you and your son recover quickly and enjoy your life in Melbourne. All the best, Lou.Lounoreply@blogger.com
