A....where I can take a break from working and play my guitars at home and chill out, learn a new language. Not far from Milan easy to pop back to the UK when needed. my wife is happy to work and suggested I could take a break and take time to do what I want and play my guitars and have a much more relaxed life help her brother decorate his house etc, find a job later or study or learn something new.
