Steve, do you ever go near Chieri?

Oddly enough, yes. It's over 400 miles from home, but sometimes we drive
via the Frejus tunnel and past Torino on the A21 which means we pass
within 15km as we drive through Villanova d'Asti. Never been there and
the closes places that I have stopped to there are Bardonecchia and
Marengo.

Umm this isn't going to turn into "Would you mind towing a SCUD missile
launcher back to the UK" is it?

I'm not sure when the next time I'll go that way will be. Probably later
this year, trying very hard to not get caught in a blizzard.
