Winter is Coming
Tue, 16th Oct 2012How 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.
This is a photo of the village shop in the square at Lakones. A veritable treasure trove and a step into the past for visitors more used to Tesco or Sainsburys.
We spent Thursday evening wandering in Corfu town. The highlight of the visit was a Baroque music concert given by students at the Music School of the Ionian University.
"Greece appeals for volunteer holidaymakers to help regenerate tourism"
I do not apologise, I have stolen this from Grandma Angela's blog (although blog seems a very minor word for such a wonderful atmospheric article).
This is the first article I have seen for ages which has a factual, realistic account of what it is to be on holiday in Greece now.
Stilts at the salt flats - a romantic Corfu unknown to most holidaymakers. It really is like taking a walk back in time when you visit this remote part of the south east coast of Corfu.
Almost an hour and a half from our mountainside house, the remote south of the island is somewhere that we really do not often visit.
