I am a Dutchman, who was brought up in Germany and has lived in the UK for a long time. I now live in Italy on the border between Liguria and Tuscany. English now is the language I feel most comfortable with, hence this blog is written in this language. Myself and my wife Susan live in a small hillside village above the town of Santo Stefano di Magra in the province of La Spezia. We also own a piece of arable land on the other side of the valley in Arcola, where we produce as much of our own food needs as possible. Recently we also started taking care of a plot of land in Villa in the Tuscan side of the Lunigiana region. It does not belong to us, but we keep it tidy for the owner in return for being allowed to keep any fruit and veg we can produce there. Both plots are about 2000 square meters , but are very different in terms of climate, soil, aspect and workability. On the side I am trying to run a business selling Italian wine to importers in various European countries.
