Hi everyone
I've been pretty inactive on the boards the last few years but was very active when I lived in Switzerland - made my best friend there through the finding your tribe forum!
I'm Dutch/Scottish living in Ireland with my Irish husband Fergus and three children Ineke (8) Odhran (6) and Gaia (3). We moved back here from Switzerland 3 years ago, started a business and built our own eco-house. So we now live on 1.6 acres with our own chickens, rabbit and dog, self-sufficient in vegetables & eggs and we're moving to a top-floor apartment in the Nervi district of Genoa for 6 months!! I think it might be a shock to the system but we are determined to make the most of our time in Italy and do and see as much as possible.
Here our kids attend regular school (in Switzerland they were in Steiner), but I'm going to home school them while in Italy to give us the flexibility of travelling when we want and so they can slot back into school here when we return.
I've already contacted the local La Leche League group - there are four leaders in Genoa - so hoping to make some social contacts that way, with folk we might have something in common with, and trying to teach myself and the kids Italian!!
I'm sure I'll have loads of questions once I get there, and hope to get to know you all on the boards.
