What's new?

Hello and ciao people ....and the blog has come up all in Italian!...................eeeeee this could be a great way to learn the language....let's see.

A little update......

We are getting ready for the Wildlife Festival this weekend. Nathan has offered to cut the grass because the rabbits just aren't keeping up. If you live near by please get in touch if you'd like to come and help Friday or Saturday this week.

We have a lovely building with an almost completed roof waiting for it's heather crown at the top.

There are a row of coats on the hooks in the hallway leading off the main hall. If you are missing a coat please ask.

Hope all goes well for you now. We loved having you here.

All the best,

Jessica

Che la pace regni sulla terra
May Peace be in Italy

hi all
just heard from Nathan that some of you (local) are planning on coming to the 'Wildlife Festival' on Saturday (20th). it would be great if we could have a small table promoting 'Youth in Action' - maybe some of you could come a little early to make a banner - or something creative to put on the table!!! any ideas????
Can you let us know who will be coming along.
many thanks

Back home

Hello everybody!
This morning when I woke up I felt a little strange, I was alone in my bedroom... I miss you all so much!
Thank you for everything.
Nicole
hi all
it is now Wednesday morning......I've just read your lovely comments and realise what a very special experience it has been for us all. Nathan is back here today volunteering in the garden, though the weather is very wet, he doesn't seem to be bothered by it!
There is already lots of talk about visiting Italy next year, so, I guess that might just happen!
For those of you from the Scottish group - please let us know if there is anything from your time here that you would like to talk about - sometimes you don't realise until you leave.
20th August is our 'Wildlife Festival' - and, if some of you are available on that Saturday (and maybe a day or two before that), we could have a table, maybe make a banner saying 'Youth in Action' and talk to anyone who is interested to find out about your experiences. Let me know if you would like to do this.
this weekend we have some people coming along to thatch the 'outdoor classroom' - Jessica's brother, Jem, is a 'master thatcher, and so he is leading the weekend.
Zvonko has taken some great photos - and jean has put them on the 'blog' for us - so a Big Thank you to both of them. Keep 'blogging' - and watching out for more photos!
love to you all
Glenda

Day Seven in Allanton House!

Everyone is having fun and playing games with all of the free time due to the bad weather postponing the barby and bonfire because of the bad weather. We were organising how to promote the programme etc. The most interesting part for me so far was definitely interviewing the different generation of migrants and today we assessed the discussions that we had.

Since my last post I have introduced myself to all of the Italians and we are all getting along well. I have learned a few phrases and have written a couple of the songs with the Italians which is what we presented as part of the cabaret.

Fun making Spinning Tops

Hello people,

I just learnt how to make an origami spinning top with Sonoko.................did you make one! Now there are at least six people who can show you how and Zvonko took photos of the tops turning.........

Hey I'm glad we went to the beach yesterday afternoon. The weather was much better yesterday.
I think our barbeque is rained off, so we can eat inside. And the bonfire? well we can wait and see. The rounders match will be postponed................sorry!

The house is buzzing today.

Jessica.
