#186 - Why Italy has the highest life expectancy in Europe + A breakdown of Sanremo, Italy's biggest music showcase

We've been busy with projects from planting artichokes to trimming trees and breaking down the flower boxes to build new ones. Ashley gets roasted by two elderly ladies in a hilarious exchange. Then we chat about the biggest week of the year in Italy showcasing original songs by new artists, Sanrenmo and breakdown how the voting works.

Italy has been named the best country in Italy to live the longest with the average age 84. We explain the 5 reasons why!

Later today, a wine tasting at Bruscia cantina for Ashley and tractor work in the garden for Jason!
