The Corfu Blog

I love driving home from work watching the seasons change - almond blossom is now in bloom and the bright yellow of acacia trees brightens the landscape.

I wish that I could write an audio blog. Just been out on the upstairs terrace before going to bed, and there is a light breeze blowing a faint scent of wood smoke and hyacinth, a squashed moon on the wane, and the most amazing background buzz of hundreds of frogs way down in the valley below.

Many of our clients ask us not only to find properties to buy, but also to make recommendations for properties for them to rent for their holidays.

I'm definitely never going to make a wildlife photographer, but believe me, on the lower branch on the left of the olive tree is an owl.

I always reckon that January is the most miserable month here in Corfu, we seem to enter the greyest, dreariest time of the year. 

One of the things I have always loved about Greece is the way Christmas doesn't end on Boxing Day. 

Just off to the kitchen to create something new with left-over turkey. The price to pay for having got one of our sons to bring an extra large one from the UK in their suitcase!

It's that time of year again, and I know I have blogged about this before, but it's only when it actually happens that I remember that I really must try to solve the problem.What am I on about? 

December. Winter Solstice and the shortest day.
