Mine most beautiful rural experience I've always lived in Walk. Here I have a very large house, which belonged to my grandparents, from the end of the 800th century, a mill to tell the truth it still keeps the shovels in the cellar, even if they are now buried.
As a child I used to play with the my cousins, every door, every corner was good for hiding when playing at hide and seek. In such a big house it was sometimes impossible to be, so much so that when you got tired the best thing to do was scream: "Pancake."
Then the Christmas dinners, Easter and summer dinners under the walnut tree in the middle of the large garden. We meet with all relatives on at least 4 occasions a year. Recently, the goose dinner and wild boar dinner ^ _ ^
It is actually a 'opportunity to meet again, we find ourselves when it is bad in 10, when it is good in 20. Furthermore, they only eat genuine and homegrown things. In the countryside we have garden e hens, geese and fruit trees as well as olive trees and once also vineyards. In short, we all eat together what the soil and the nature offer us during the year.
La my house in the countryside is for me the only place where I can really relax, the phone does not pick up and there is no connection. When I get home, which is the place where I spent my childhood and part of my adolescence, I do long sleeps, even in front of the fireplace, especially in winter, walks (with the cousins) and above all I eat a lot ^ _ ^ I would like to see you.
Sometimes I also bring some friends who always regularly appreciates the welcome, familiarity and genuineness of my family, after all it is one characteristic of the Marche I think.
For the moment I already have two seats booked for Christmas, two friends want to come and have dinner on the 24th night with us. The rooms there are, being an old house it is very big, the walls are still in Stone and exposed beams. In short, a beautiful cottage that more than once I thought of transforming into bed & breakfast, but it's a little gem that I still want to keep for myself :)
