The Corfu Blog

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. 

At Corfuhomefinders we are lucky enough to see some of Corfu's most beautiful dream properties, but the one we viewed yesterday morning really left us speechless. 

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.
