Everybody loves Italy. Well, ok, maybe not everyone. But a lot of people do. Including me. After 12 years of living in Scotland, my Italian wife abruptly announced to me on a cold, grey November morning that she wanted to move back home. Home being the beautiful Italian island of Sardinia, slap bang in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. After having lived almost all of my life in Scotland, I suddenly found myself facing the reality of moving to a different country, a different climate and a different language to all that I had known. A lot of it was good.

A lot of it wasn't so good. But most of the time, I tried to see the funny side. This is the story of someone coping with Being Scottish in Italy. Reviews:"Hilarious! If you like Bill Bryson, then you will love this" (Marta Kadziela)"Brilliant.fascinating.entertaining.evocative.acute observations.

just a bloomin' good read. Certain to brighten up your day" (Phil Stringer)"A fascinating peep into the life of an 'ordinary of sorts' Italian family and their life from the perspective of a Scot who moved to Sardinia with his Italian wife. Lots to learn about the culture and lots to laugh about too" (Eleanor Hamilton).
