Thought for the day

Decided that this evening I am just going to get out a massive box of chocolates and sit indoor gawping at these fantastic Luxury Tuscan Villas

Creation in advancement

Change in progression
One of the evolutions that the region of Tuscany has undergone is the conversion of familiar abandoned farmsteads into fine short or long stay holiday lets. These structures, some nothing more than a weatherproof out-house used to keep animals or crops, have been converted into some of the most exclusive and desired after places from which to take a holiday in the region of Tuscany. The switches in the countryside happened for 2 reasons: first due that local farms were unable to meet the demands for produce from an ever thriving population, and second, that they were unable to compete on price with the larger and more centralized distribution companies (a similar change took place in the British Isles with the procession of Supermarkets in the early 1990s, the only difference being unfortunately that English farmers did not have the same guarantee of sunshine like the Italian's did, on which to build a future). As the huge processing plants took over mainstream distribution, the Tuscan farmers were left reflecting on how to make it to the end of the week, and Agriturismo was born.

Wanted to post a out-there story

Today I pitted Google, Yahoo and Bing against each other. I typed "Google is..." into each and got- Bing: Google is better than Bing. Yahoo: Google is better than Yahoo. Google: Google is watching you... Well, I think it's clear who the winner was.
