Michael and Peggy Hunt profile »
Michael & Peggy Hunt moved from Pembrokeshire to Italy two years ago.
They now live on the Tuscan / Umbrian border in Locanda Delle Rose among 300 olive trees, enquiring neighbours and over-familiar wildlife.
"Oddly, it is not so different from Pembrokeshire at all, " they say. "We have felt at home from the very beginning."
