The Corfu Blog

'Pothole Problem' is one of today's headlines on Sky News. Isn't it cheering to see that we are not the only ones suffering this blight of potenetial car and tyre wreckers!

After all that rain how about reminding ourselves that this is Corfu in the spring. Photo taken this morning at Alonaki Beach House on the west coast.

Here is another link for daily Greek news in English, just begun by one of the country's main daily newspapers Eleftherotypia. 

Whilst being shown this little house above Paleokastritsa we met the owner, and got talking about this and that, as you do.

With all the news in the UK at the moment about horse meat finding its way into beefburgers and ready-made lasagne, I find our local butcher's shop very reassuring. 

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.
