The Corfu Blog

We have recently decided not to advertise any longer on the Rightmove International website. 

I am sure that lots of people already read this wonderful blog which is of particular interest to me as it extols the virtues of the area where I live.

I am just back in Corfu after nearly two months away and I do always find it a bit of a culture shock.

The clear skies have given us a lovely view of the full moon this last week, and confusingly it has still been there at sunrise.

I always get a load of complaints from my kids for taking the same photos every year at the same crucial moments - Presents under the tree, pulling crackers, eating, the cake, etc.

Ever since one of our sons informed me that the highlight of his Christmas is "baskets of mince pies".

On Thursday we celebrated the start of the Christmas season with what is becoming a regular annual event - mulled wine, mince pies, coffee and cup-cakes (didn't they used to be called buns?).

I can only agree with Diana, winter is most definitely here! 

How can you tell winter is coming - yes, we've actually got time to start blogging again, although happily the reason for the lack of blogs has been pressure of work, so we shouldn't complain. 

If we haven't been blogging for a while, we can definitely blame it on the weather. With daytime temperatures approaching 40 degrees most days in the last couple of weeks, everyone's energy is totally sapped.
