Ah, yes, Vanda. I do get people looking for Vanda and, I guess, getting very disappointed when they find this site :-). In this case, Vanda is V – and – A, often also mistaken for the famous Victoria and Albert Museum in London (shortened to the V&A).
Thanks for the nice comments about the way we use English. I try, although, in spite of your comments, I’m not sure I always get there.

Hi Andy,
the thing is usually here Vanda is considered a woman’s name. No, no, I was lurking not because of sex, ah ah, ah; only because I need variety and an Englishman in Milan fulfills this requirement, in some way. Plus I adore the way you British people use this charming language: simple and elegant.
Have a good day you too!

Hi Man of Roma.

Nice to see you here.

Interesting that, from the clues you have picked up (V, writing style, etc.), you have decided I am an Englishwoman! Sorry to burst the bubble but I am, in fact, a man! I hope that does not mean you won’t be lurking here anymore; I’m quite happy to have lurkers hereÃ‚Â :-).

Yes, I saw you came from Alex’s blog. A really interesting blog with many facts and opinions. I shall take a trip over to your blog later.

Have a good day!

An Englishwoman living in Milan. Interesting. I just met an Englishman living there whose blog sent me here (BlogFromItaly). I have been lurking for a while and here I am, a Roman from Rome, liking Milan, northern Italy (and northen Europe, of course). Pleased to meet you!

All the best from Rome
