Not a village, I know, but it's ringing my bell now.

I have been googling info ref italian alps and 'no bells have rung'.
Letter C and Valentinos dont register with me - I am thinking 'M....'
When he went back to Italy the restaurant was renamed using a horse racing theme. Maybe that will stir someonelses memory.

I think you mean "Valtellina's" , which was named after a valley here in the Alps -my mum and dad used to rave about it.

That's the one in Antley that I remember as being really good.

Thanks.

I was raised a Methodist, but am a sucker for incense, a bit of overblown Baroque bling, and some Gregorian chant.

Still a happy a non-believer though.

Not too cheery seeing him dishing out presents in the festive season, as was demonstrated in Hogfather....

Oh I don't know, you don't strike me as "Death" as to him giving out prezzies to the kids in the grotto, made me chuckle. And what about his Grand-daughter Susan Sto Helit, a governess giving monsters a good hiding with a poker. Discipline & standards sadly missing today. :D
