Summer in Corfu - don't you all wish you were here?
Sat, 16th Jun 2012I 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.
If you see Susan and I disappearing into a tree in the next few weeks, the chances are we will be picking mulberries.
There isn't a vast amount to amuse us at the moment, frustration with the government (or non government), annoyance with very slanted way the foreign press are commenting on the situation here, and general European gloom.
Politics is so dominant these days - every conversation, every TV programme, every radio interview, even in the fish shop in Tzavros buying fresh crab for today's lunch (Yummy!),
I think I actualy have a rare breed of dog - the Corfu Tortoisehound.
So people weren't convinced by the advertising campaign to persuade them to holiday in Britain, what a surprise.
According to this article it will be worth finding a vantage point to watch the full moon rising tonight.
