I think the Coop mainly concentrates on profits. The Coop in Siena incorporates a Biblioteca Comunale. I've been to a couple of evening classes hosted by the Coop and they are almost free if you are...

Re: The Comfort Zone. Favourite food, drinks, where to buy, and recipes.

There are not so many luxuries in Umbria. They replaced a 500m stretch of drinking water pipe on our road in August. The workers left the 4inch diameter plastic pipe on the side of the road attached...

I think starting from seeds saves quite a bit and you can pick the variety. Most people grow from plants here but you have to accept what they have in the shop when you want it. There must be forty...
