Welcome to January 2017

Happy New Year! Buon anno!

Now that all the Christmas and New Year festivities are over, it is time to get the 2017 ball rolling. It is certainly going to be an eventful and challenging year on many levels but that does not mean we cannot succeed, have fun and show gratitude by making the most of every opportunity we are lucky to have... especially with living in this most wonderful country that we have chosen to make our home! Above all, let's hope that we all have good health because without that, nothing else really matters.

* Cinema Cristallo - English Film Night: Saturday 14th January.

The film is: A Bigger Splash - Starring Tilda Swinton, Matthias Schoenaerts, Ralph Fiennes.

The vacation of a famous rock star and a filmmaker in Italy is disrupted by the unexpected visit of an old friend and his daughter. In A BIGGER SPLASH, the lives of a high profile couple, a famous rock star (Tilda Swinton) and a filmmaker (Matthias Schoenaerts), vacationing and recovering on the idyllic sun-drenched and remote Italian island of Pantelleria, are disrupted by the unexpected visit of an old friend (Ralph Fiennes) and his daughter (Dakota Johnson) - creating a whirlwind of jealousy, passion and, ultimately, danger for everyone involved.

Starts at 6.30 pm - Film length 2 hr3 05 mins.
Venue: Cinema Cristallo, Dolceacqua.

We enjoy going for a meal/pizza afterwards so why not join us. Email me to let me know if you would like to go to the restaurant so I can book a table for us. The restaurant keeps a tab of individual orders which makes it nice and simple. anna@therivierawoman.com

1909, 1921, 1933, 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005, 2017.

"I am alert
Ready to take action
The first on the scene
The last to leave
I take chances
But I am precise
I know where things belong
I am orderly and fastidious
Nothing escapes me
I am always prepared
I never give up or in
I AM THE ROOSTER"
