It’s looks as though we may be heading for Corsica this year, as long as I can overcome the other half’s worries about our little pup eating our friends’ non-puppy friendly little son, that is.
I’m quite keen, especially after hearing from an Italian friend that Corsica is probably more beautiful than Sardinia. Not sure I want to break news to my Sardinian students though.
Actually, renting a house on Corsica appears to be cheaper than renting a place down in Tuscany.

Cossiga hailed from Sardinia, was a fan of John Le Carre and had earned himself the nickname “the pickaxe” owing to his no holds barred criticism of other Italian politicians.
As you may be aware, the generally tumultus world of Italian politics is in turmoil. The Berlusconi government is teetering on the brink of collapse, but what is really surprising, is that this collapse was sparked from the inside.
From spat to full-blown split. Silvio Berlusconi’s marriage of political convenience to Gianfranco Fini has ended in tears. Scorned lover Berlusconi even rejected Fini’s last minute attempts to kiss and make up and remain part of Berlusconi’s party of love. End of love in. Period.
Would make for a great piece on a certain travel website!!!
