Dimitris, I hope it is ok to start this "topic" and could you make it a "Sticky please?
This is a Photograph A to Z of our ( the forum members) holiday memories. There are no rules to this except people post one photo at a time with the next letter in the alphabet. This could be a placename, taverna, natural feature, animal etc etc - use your imagination. I wonder how many times we can go through the alphabet?
So here is the first one
A for Armourada
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/Armourada.jpg)
how do you add a photo here Terry?
Try the details I did yesterday Sue ..........
http://www.arillas.com/page/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,165/topic,2302.msg23026
This should work but if it doesn't try Viv's method, or try Viv's method first
I will try to do a video/screenshot guide.
Terry
B has got to be the one and only Brouklis
(http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g262/viviankizzysmum/BrouklisDSCF0017.jpg)
C must be Captains - Sue have you got any pictures??
I dont think Sue has worked out how to post a piccie yet! Come on Sue you can do it, we have faith ;-) !
No im not sure Sue has either. I wont be posting any pictures as i havent a clue. I might come up with some suggestions but thats about it!! ;)

I love that Photo Eileen. Was it taken from your villa?
Terry
That is a gorgeous picture, could make that in to a postcard!
Hi Terry & Smiffy,
It was taken up at Sandy and Joyce's house which is not too far from us. Their house has a million dollar view don't you think?
I'm not too good with all the techie stuff but it seems that my photo has lost some of it's definition when I downsized it.
Eileenxx
Oh I like that photo.
I dont think I can do it quick enough, I have an "F"....so I will try now.
Just gone into filehigh Terry, just waiting for an activation email.. thats the easy part. now go to try and do the rest!
You can do it Sue!!!!
Activation usually takes seconds but it doesn't like hotmail addresses,
It doesnt like mine, its taking ages. Also I cant remember what I have to do from there. I will get back to you if I get stuck.
I am getting a bit fed up now with waiting for the filehigh thing. Anyone else have an idea how I can add a photo please.
I registered about half an hour ago and my activation email came straight through within seconds.
I wonder if I should do it again
Sue
Go To www.filehigh.com
login as arillasforum password = corfu
I set this up to have a practice on. Because you are using filehigh as a storage area purely for this forum you needn't worry about confidentiality. All the photos you store will be published on the forum. It is really just a remote storage area for forum photographs.
Lots of users could use it.
I finally managed to work it out..but I didn't do it on my own...my 34 year old son came to the rescue after seeing my plight and has conquered filehigh...here is the frog!
http://www.filehigh.com/viewimg.php?f=41823&i=475542
...now I have to do this on my own when he isn't here!!!!..thanks terry..p.s. if this doesn't work i'm going to print the photo out and stick it to the screen!
...Sue it looks like froggie went a courtin'........
Eileenxxx
Hi eileen..can you see the frog on that reply note then? Oh please say yes!!!!
nooooo....I'm sorry to say but froggie isn't there :-(
Keep trying....we are all looking forward to our 'F' photo.
Eileen
Sorry, but its the best we can do... you have to click on the link... My son reckons we should try photo bucket... my photos are too big I think.
The frogs hopped it! It was taken on the apartment door at the Bardis
Hiya Sue...I can see the cute wee frog now...I bet you gave him a name too?!!
This is a reply on uploading pics that I gave on another thread. If you can be bothered (I know what it's like to get frustrated with this stuff!) you could maybe give it a try...I know that Benita managed it and was fair chuffed with herself :-)
"O.K this is how I did it, but maybe others will have other methods....
* Go to http://www.imageshack.us/
* Click on the browse tab and select your pic from file
* Type in your email address
* Use the drop-down menu to re-size your image according to where you are posting it.
* Then click host it
* A few seconds later another page will appear on the screen, scroll down it until you come down to the box titled 'Direct Link to Image'. Copy and paste the text in the box
* Now onto the Arillas Forum.
* When in the Post reply text box go up to the icons which run along the top of the box and choose the Insert Image icon. The icon is like a little picture.(it is next to the one that looks like a spinning (wheel)
* This text will appear (img) (/img) Between the two sets of brackets insert the code which you copied and pasted from the Imageshack page.
There you go, that's the best explanation I can do, give it a try...good luck smiley

Well done Sue, im so glad you conquered it, maybe i will one day too haha!!
Keep em coming, loving the piccies!
I'm getting to grips with this now... there'll be no stopping me!
Eileens suggestion worked and its so easy.
I have printed off Eileens instructions so one day i will use them haha!!
I think this is a very good idea of Terry's. We should have some for every letter. Wonder what VWXYZ will be!
Im waiting to see what those will be too, im sure yourself, Terry and Eileen will come up with the goods ;-) !

Sue...re-journey home to Arillas. My mum is coming over in October...once she has been in the bakery no doubt she will be walking up the hill like the lady in your photo but laden instead with chocolate croissants!..yep my mum is a chocoholic :-)
Eileenxx
Smiffy - I am disappointed in you, I was expecting some photos from you ...... come on ....get em up.
Blondegirl, Could the lady in the Journey home pic, be the mystery lady from the beach with clothes on. She could be carrying supplies for the donut man.
I think some photographs can invoke a kind of story in your head. Maybe we could have a weekly "add a caption" post. Someone posts a photo and we have a week to add captions, then at the end of each week Dimitris could pick a winner. It all helps to fend off severe Arillusitis.
Terry
Yes c'mon Smiffers lets be having you!!!
Eileenxxx
Eileen, we can have more K's next time round as once we get to Z we start again, if thats ok with everyone.

My possible X may take a while. Obviously doing something wrong in "the Pasting"
Is that the term?
Negg
Yea Ive got a couple of Zs the only X I can come up with is all the Kissing xxxxxx and hugging of friends that we miss so much. Viv
If I can figure it out Eggy, then I'm sure you will. Follow Eileens instructions. (Mind you, It did take a couple of attempts)
Eileens suggestion of Imageshack works really well. Have you tried that one Neil?
Just back from camping in Wales, this thread seems to have taken off well! Nice one Terry. I have just had a look at the Imageshack website but will have to suss it out properly later. I use Fotopic and post links to pictures on there.
http://www.fotopic.net/
Thing is, I cant find a picture of anything that starts with an X,Y or Z from all of the photos I took while I was there! When's your X coming up Eggy and Viv and Blondegirl's Z's?
Yammas (clue!) for now,
Neil.
I haven't had time to post anything over the weekend but I know that from doing this before certain letters like x,y q and z can be difficult.
The following web sites give lots of words and many can be tailored to describe a photograph eg:- xylopolist ...... one who sells wood - could be used for olive wood.
Try it, it does help, and you can show off with a vast vocabulary.

Have you ever seen the "Tribute" video by Tenacious D, the devil blocks a road just like that?

Thanks Terry - the Cicada photo took many many attempts lol
hehe no no Umpiring skills here - I was displaying the width of the track while we were debating trying to get the car along it :P
We didn't haha
I might use the Cicada Pic, if its ok with you Lozicle, to add a sound track to it. I know thats a bit sad but I love messing about.

Thanks for the Cicada piccie Lozicle...I never knew what they looked like. What size are they?
Eileenxx
What is a cicada exactly? It looks disgusting!
I dont really know what I am doing... but I have been using Imageshack... and it has a resizing area.. I use the message board and tick that, or you can use the thumbnail for small things., it's all trial and a lot of errors!
Hi pg32
Cicada's are the insects that make this sound.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqtBvOls5Hg
A cicada is an insect of the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha, in the superfamily Cicadoidea, with large eyes wide apart on the head and usually transparent, well-veined wings. There are approximately 2,500 species of cicada around the globe, and many remain unclassified. Cicadas live in temperate to tropical climates where they are one of the most widely recognized of all insects, mainly due to their large size and remarkable (and often inescapable) acoustic talents.
Cicadas do not bite or sting, are benign to humans, and are not considered a pest. Many people around the world regularly complement their standard diet with cicadas: the female is prized for eating as it is meatier. Cicadas have been eaten (or are still eaten) in Ancient Greece, China, Malaysia, Burma, Australia, Latin America and the Congo.
So there ya go !
That particular one was about 2 - 3 inches long. Ugly little bugger too.
By all means Terry, you're very welcome to use the image :)
2-3 inches long...yeuch. Despite the deafening noise they make, which seems to reach a crescendo in the early evening, I've yet to see one. I'm going to keep my peepers open now that I know what they actually look like.
...but I defo wont' be munching on one!
Eileenx
Me neither, just looking at it made me itch haha!!
ooohhh, my skins all crawly. we were looking for them walking down to the centre, like eileen says they are really loud, but 2-3 inches long!! imagine if i was poking around in a bush trying to find one and it leapt on me, you would hear my screams in san stefanos! hehe.
I think Cicada Crunch with Olives sounds like a lovely starter. How about trying it Dimitris as the Brouklis Bush Tucker special? I'd try it.....honest

D for Dancers - at the Horizon on 5th July 2007
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/dancers1.jpg)
Thanks Lozicle for that indepth answer!!
I hate insects etc so it was good to know that they dont bite etc!! I know i know i am a big wuss!!
I remember them well Terry.. mainly because the young guy had very shapely legs! ;) I was so glad I wasnt asked to dance on the table with him, as if!!! There wasnt room for both of us LOL
Out photos are not so clear as that.
The dancing was so funny. In one dance you had to put your hand between your legs so the person behind you could hold it and you had to hold the persons hand in front of you and then walk in a line.
The next day after doing this we were doing the San Stefanos walk and met a couple and I realised that the bloke was the person in front of me doing the dancing and his partner was the girl behind me. We exchanged hello's and I said to the bloke " do you realise that your partner had her hands between my legs last night, and I had my hands between yours". They were a lovely couple and we had a good laugh about it.
mazzz - if you read this post ........ we did swing a bit whilst doing the "holding the hands between the legs walk!!!!!!!

F - Football pitch at Kavadaddes - Anyone spot Noufri from Brouklis?
(http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/5479/s3010399jc5.jpg)
Is he the one "waiting" on the half way line?
What surface is it Eggy?It looks like snow.
Is there a local league?
Terry
Terry
Noufris is the middle right of the picture in green. Just after we took this he fowled an opponent, well away from the ball, and when the ref wasn't looking. They carried the guy off. After the match he told us the chap kept pulling his shirt.
So moral of story is " When at Brouklis do not do this to attract his attention "
The pitch is what they call a Division 3 pitch. Like a very fine grit which, I'm told hurts, when you hit the ground. ( Div 1 play on astroturf - not sure on Div 2 )
Note the spectators. This maybe a Greek way of "Crowd Control"
( 1 supporter per team - and they're probably cousins ! )
In honesty they did have a lot of support.

THE GALINI GANG..... (2) AT THE BARDIS SUN JUNE/JULY 2007
Hi Eggy, we're going to be in Arillas from the 14th of Sept, do you know if there'll be any football matches on in Kavadades ?
Blondegirl
The photo at the Galini is interesting because the couple on the left, sitting at the table, were at Brouklis when we had our first meal there on the second day of our holiday. They were from Yorkshire and we had a lovely chat to them. It was them who pointed you out as "blondegirl" from the forum.
On my photo, which was taken at Brouklis, I have just realised that you can see Dimitris just over my right shoulder.
TerryW
Very nice pictures for " G " they are too.
Paul
I'll ask Noufris what's planned for Septembr.
Negg
Thats right, thats Peter and Evie from Leeds I think they come from. They are such a lovely couple. I hit it off with Evie straight away and we had such a laugh last year at the Galini in the swimming pool and it was great to meet up with them again this year. I think thats what made the holiday even better this year was meeting up again. You always meet some very nice people in Arillas.
I remember we first met you at the Brouklis when we were looking at Demitris and Litsas wedding album.
Thanks Eggy, I'll be in so much trouble if I go, but what's a man supposed to do ??!
We went to a "friendly" game in Crete one year. Some friends were playing at midnight and obviously floodlit, they had all finished work and it was much cooler to play then. It was quite enjoyable sitting outside at nice cafe tables with a drink chatting when the men were glued to the game. Another happy experience to remember.
S = Sunset
(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/8643/sunset400x300th1.jpg)
That seemed like a proper sunset when i looked at that picture, very bright!! Lovely photo :-) !
pappa and Baldy Barry..... I hope you don't mind me pointing this out, but the idea of this topic is to find a photo from the next letter of the alphabet. So the next photo should begin with a "H"
pappa could have cheated and described the sunset ( on which, by the way, the colours are amazing) as "heavenly sunset" or "have you ever seen a better sunset"
terry glad you pointed that out, it's all part of it, seeing the next photo in sequence. love this topic x
H for "Had Enough" I was so full that I couldn't finish Mary's delicious homemade cheesecake at the Horizon. This was our last evening meal of the holiday and I was so full after two weeks of eating too much. But oh so satisfying.

Pecked Hen! I remember seeing her with a very old lady under those steps when we walked to Afionas They all seem to wear those opened out scarves dont they.
Somebody must have an "O" somewhere!
O for Olive Trees on Road to Arillas - I love that stretch of road.

O - More Olive Trees and Nets - I couldn't wait for the letter O to come around again, I think my Olive tree fetish is getting worse.

Lovely picture Kes!
Thanks Shuey ..only wish I was sat there now instead of looking through the office window at the rain pelting down...never mind only 28 days to go
I found that photo really interesting kes, because I took this one in July - looks like someone has a real talent for garden design. When was yours taken?
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/thalassa1582x484.jpg)
Terry...mine was taken a couple of years ago I think.. I have taken that many photos of Arillas over the last few years that my son always aks me why i take my camera..as I keep taking the same photos
We found that when we went to Sidari many years ago. We used to take photos of the Canal D'Amour rock formations every year - god knows why!
yOU LOT ARE TOO FAST FOR ME !!!!
I've just come back with an " M " and an " N " so you'll get 'em anyway.
M for Mythos.

She didn't speak English but was quite happy for me to take photo's of her when I mimed my intention.
Yes, the scarves are strange. Did you see the lady on the Rick Stein programme last night with two of them on her head? One appeared to be just balanced on top of the other!
Sorry - Missed the Patio.
I really must keep up.

I think we had the 'Z' earlier with the lovely butterfly photo from Peckedhen, so its back to 'A' again.
Ah Yiota. I speak very poor English,as you know Sandy, even poorer after Retsina is "Pour-ed". Gotta wait for the Y & Z for next time now.
Negg
Here we go round again, and please hurry up so that Eggy can get his Y and Z in.
A for Attempted Arson at the Horizon. Its quite a cruel way of getting the dancers to dance faster, but great fun.

Hi Everyone - am really enjoying this A to Z photograph theme. There have been some wonderful pictures - and many of them have brought back splendid memories.
Thought I'd try for the C slot this time with COCKTAILS - its Marino at the Horizon doing his thing making a couple of strawberry mahitos for Julia and I on our wedding aniversary on 14th June 2007.
All the best

Hi One and All. Its me again, now I've got the hang of inserting a photograph I'd like to do D, so here are the Greek traditional DANCERS at the Horizon in June 2007 - very good they were too, especially when they did their fire dance.
Regards Pat

Thankyou for that Patrickjohn, you've made my day!!!!(the pic of Marino, that is)....

They were different dancers to the ones we saw at the end of June at the Horizon

Hi Marika
There are some interesting photographs in your last posts. It looks like the Panorama view was from the Horizon, probably room 202, and how did you take the aerial view of Afionas, its very good. We need one of Arillas like that.
Terry
Am still enjoying this photo theme - there have been some wonderful pics so far.
I think we are up to B so it must be time for another butterfly - I think this one is a swallowtail which I spotted on the nudee beach on 21st June 2007.

:-) Yes it is the Panorama view from the Horizon!
From the appartment under the roof!
I have another nice Panorama picture from the Horizon, from the front!
I will post it!
The picture from Afionas I maked from the plane in Mai! On the way to Corfu!
I have some more, but no one from Arillas :-( In that moment Arillas was under me!
Maybe I can make one next month. Than I will sit on the left side of the plane! I try :-)

Marika,
What excellent pictures! I am looking forward to next instalment :)
I love this topic, the photos are fantastic. Marika those photos from the plane are amazing, well done. xx
Hi there - Terry thinks we are on D for donuts - well I havn't got a picture of the Donut Man, although we did spot him one day on the beach.
Instead what about D for Drying the Towels - Picture taken on our balcony at the Horizon.
Just for fun can you guess the room number?

Hi PJ!
Hmmm! It is the appartment downstairs. If you stay in front of the hotel the middle one! But I dont know the number!

So for G what about Good Morning World - shot taken around 8.30am one fine June morning this year from the balcony of room 002

(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/highroad.jpg)
If I remember correctly it is rather unsurprisingly called the Panorama. We have occasionally stopped off for coffees, it's a handy half way point if meeting up with someone for Corfu town!
Eileen.
P.S I just love these unusual photos that are appearing these days.
Thanks Eileen. I can now post a photo when we get to P.
Hi everyone - since no one has done an I, Terry will never get to P, so thought this one might do for the letter I.
I bought my new trunks from Ina's minimarket next to the Horizon, and here I am trying them out for the first time.

Terry - Very good panoramic picture
Very interesting photos all round.
PatrickJohn - Lovely picture of "G" ( Horizon ) but concerned about the "I"
The last time I had a picture taken of me, in speedos, I jokingly remarked taking a career as a male model. The reply was " Don't give up yer day job "
( That is a piece of plant sneaking it's way behind your legs is is not ?)
I wonder how Big Gus is. I think he went backto America. Not sure.
Hopefully If I can time it right I'll get my poor contribution in for a "Z" soon.

Hello again
Glad you liked the Early Morning shot at the Horizon, Eggy. It was the reflections in the pool that made it for me. Sorry the Speedos from Ina's Minimarket were not quite to your taste. Perhaps I'm not cut out for the male modelling either - they don't seem to go for the mature male, do they?
By the way, the sneeky plant, I was told, was called something like 'Countess Sarah', but couldn't find anyone who could tell me if it was a variety of hibiscus or something else. It was certainly very beatiful - so perhaps the title of my photo should have been beauty and the beast!
Marika keeps coming up with some good ones - I always wondered why the bench was behind the bush - there must be a good reason - its obviously not for the view.
Now we just need an M to keep the pot boiling and to move on towards Z for Eggy.
Best wishes

Hi everyone, i tried to upload a pic for the a-z but alas to no avail, maybe im getting to old or maybe someone can explain in "DUMMY" terms how i can post a pic on here please. I registered with Filehigh but from there ...........nothing. Help please thank you.
Alan.
Hi Alan,
Quite a few of us have had the same problem, but I sussed out a way for myself (now I can assure you that was very clever coming from non-techie me!) and I posted the following instructions in an earlier post:
O.K this is how I did it, but maybe others will have other methods....
* Go to http://www.imageshack.us/
* Click on the browse tab and select your pic from file
* Type in your email address
* Use the drop-down menu to re-size your image according to where you are posting it.
* Then click host it
* A few seconds later another page will appear on the screen, scroll down it until you come down to the box titled 'Direct Link to Image'. Copy and paste the text in the box
* Now onto the Arillas Forum.
* When in the Post reply text box go up to the icons which run along the top of the box and choose the Insert Image icon. The icon is like a little picture.(it is next to the one that looks like a spinning (wheel)
* This text will appear (img) (/img) Between the two sets of brackets insert the code which you copied and pasted from the Imageshack page.
There you go, that's the best explanation I can do, give it a try...good luck smiley

Alan - hope you get on well with the Eileen's advice. I've managed to get filehigh working fortunately, but it is a bit fiddly. Good luck.

Just to say filehigh didnt seem to work for me but photo bucket did. I quess it all comes down to langage that is used weather I.T. otr everyday layman terms.and the person preferance. Viv

Terry, Is that thing outside the church where saint spiros is kept? I think it might be for prayers. (You know, when you put candles to pray for someone?)
Hi Maggie
I am not sure which church it was but it was at the end of one of the narrow streets with shops.

Oh! never noticed him....
Hi everyone
It must be time for A again.
This time its A for ALBANIA.
(Eggy please avert your eyes because there are Speedos in this one again).
Yes I know its me in my snorkel gear on the beach at Saint Spiridon, but if you look closely the background mountains are in Albania.
(http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/patjmcn/File0023PJMStSpiridonBeachCorfu.jpg)
This pic was taken in 2004 and I'd just swum out to the little island with the flag on it. When I got back to the beach my dear wife was asleep and had missed my heroic efforts - she did say she would take a photograph though and you see the result.
Best wishes to all the splendid contributors to this thread and especially to Terry who started it.

C for Corfu Old Town Building
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/CorfuTownBuilding1403x522.jpg)
Lovely picture Terry - am i right in thinking there are several buildings like that leading up from where McDonalds is.
Yes, Shuey, there are quite a few buildings like that. Isn't the architecture wonderful and the rustic colours add to the attraction. I wonder if there any hotels like that as it would be lovely to stay in one for a night.
I was actually thinking of doing that next July, drive to Corfu Town, see the night life, stay the night and then drive to the south of the island.
Terry
D for Drainpipe ...... Another Building, but the curved wall is wonderful and the guttering seems to be a mixture of plastic and metal....I wish I was there now, but instead I am off to Morrisons during my lunch break, such is life!
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/IMG_5410642x855.jpg)
Great photos terry and what a good idea to stay overnight. We are going back in Sept just for a week, but hopefully next year will stay for fortnight and will try that. We are hoping to go in July next year, what dates have you booked for?
I do quite like the idea of staying in Corfu town for a night, especially if we are going to travel to South Corfu. We could possibly stay a second night on the way back, it depends on cost.
We have booked from 30th June to 14th July Sharon.
E for Esplanade

Trust you to put out a challenge for the easy ones. ;-)
I'll see what I can do in Corfu next week
Many times I take a camera on holiday, but do I use it? :-)
Now you have a perfectly good excuse to go wandering off looking for the perfect pictures James.
I most certainly will blondegirl.

However, after a good rain the visibility is PERFECT which allows us to create very good photos especialy the sunsets are so much better.!

Wonderful photos Dimitris... When it rains in Arillas its so much better than the UK! At least it dries quickly and its not permanently grey. :(
Nice photographs Dimitris. Its interesting to see the sunset over the sea instead of over the distant head land. Was the sunset photo taken recently?
What a nice sunset image Dimitris, it reminds us of when we went to Kos in June :-)

No Shuey, I cheat. Because I take the photos on maximum resolution, I can zoom in on areas and copy them as new pictures. It can be quite effective sometimes.
I am running out of photographs now and I am waiting to see some from the people who are returning soon.
Very clever though!! I would not have a clue. ;)
Awww......everybody has given up. Lets hope the people who are in Arillas now, bring some nice pics back with them.
I will cheat again with X

Terry, could you tell me where the restaurant is with the Y for Yellow Menu? Looks like a stunning view.
Fiona
Eileen - do we really need to see the nappies? That may be taking things just a bit too far....
Fiona, its the Paradise Taverna and you will have passed it on your way to Arillas from the Airport. Its on a hairpin bend as you climb up towards the Troumpeta Pass. The views really are stunning. I would only stop there for a drink though.

Hi all you Photographers of Arillas. Have just received the following email from FileHigh:- It is with regret that I am writing to inform you that FileHigh.com is closing down. Unfortunately, we are in a position where it is no longer viable to continue offering our hosting services.
In order to minimize the disruption to you, and to allow you reasonable time to make alternative hosting arrangements, we shall continue to host the images currently in your account until 22nd September 2007.
As part of our shutdown process, inactive (i.e. not recently accessed) files have already been removed from some accounts.

I have been looking in to this problem over the weekend.
Basically you just need to transfer the photos to another "hosting" web site and then edit the relative tag for each photograph posted.
The only problem is with trying to find a "hosting" web site, that will not disappear in the future. The hosting websites have to be funded some how and it is usually from advertisements, popups, etc. and if the funds are not available the site has to be closed down.
I already use Imageshack and Photobucket and it is very easy to go over the storage limit.
I am going to dual source my photos so that each photograph is stored on two different hosting sites, so that if one does go bump, it will be easy to edit the links and I will not have to re-upload my pictures.
The link below contains a list hosting web sites.

Hi Terry

I like those photos you mentioned. I noticed there is one of the "ruin" for sale in Arillas a couple of years ago - just down the road from the Captains. It's been like that for the last 15 years, but sometimes someone goes and puts a strimmer all round to spruce the place up a bit. I think the whole structure would need to be pulled down - but maybe someone will come along one day and snap it up. Never found out how much they wanted for it.....
Also one of the sunset and Gravia.

I like the wine photo EEG, very artistic, and it has sent me off on a day dream again.
I wish we had the technology of Star Trek and we could just say "beam me up Eggy" and in a few seconds we were in Arillas. See the dreams are quite good. Oh Sh** there's a Klingon sitting in Brouklis.
And couple of Romulans in the Coconut ;) I sure would appreciate the technology.
Dont even go there! I thought I had left Star Trek back in the UK!!
We were sitting by the pool at the Bardis, then I heard the dreaded music " dah dah, dah dah dah, dah dah....." I knew what Mike was watching... he had "borrowed" the remote from Bobby and was watching an episode of Star Trek on Sky at the bar with a bottle of beer he was in his element as he is a big ST fan - I could not believe it so I had to get it snapped.. .

I may not have time to do pic today, so you will have to wait for a big surprise on your return. Have a safe journey and a great time.
Terry
Mike loved the picture Terry... I have emailed it to him so he has his own personal copy... thanks for that..
PJ ... I have no idea what he was watching... each episode seems the same to me.. full of aliens and nonsense! I have lived with it for over 35 years now (Star Trek and Mike come as a package!) although, he doesn't watch so many now as he has seen them all but isnt averse to seeing them all over again if he could. I am not impelled to watch it at all and will quite happily wander off and do my "own thing" knowing he is happy, bless him!
Thanks Terry, as well as Thalassa we will visit your beloved Horizon, we were going to go to the latin night on the saturday when we were there, didnt for some reason, but will def visit this time. xx
We had a superb meal at the Horizon in August - I recommend their fish!
Hi sandy, thanks for the recommendation, love fish. x
Sharon, the Latin night is great fun. I had to dance (well make a fool of myself) two weeks running, with the girl dancer. I was knackered, but it was worth it just to have to put my hands around her and to feel her silky dress mmmm. Blondegirl (Sue) and her friend Lynn were very good dancers.
The Greek night on a Thursday is fun as well, and I think you should go and then volunteer to dance on the table. Then you can publish the photos when you get back.
As for the food, its all good, but try Mary's homemade cherry cheesecake, its really nice.
I'm jealous...........I want to go again, next July is too far away!!!!!!
I have a picture of my sister and me dancing on the table at Brouklis but am not technically skilled enough to put it on the forum. Maybe just as well - just for a change, I am absolutely drunk as a skunk! But it was a good night wasn't it Dimitri?
Hahahahahah Terry, you make me laugh. Kickin myself now we didn't go, we would have seen you. I danced on the table in Zante, years ago, will see what I can do, just for you x
Sandy, get that picture on here!! Did you have your crocs on? xx
No crocs...it was five years ago! I wouldn't know where to begin getting the photo on the forum. I am completely incompetent and can only just about work the camera! I could email it to you?
Sandy, yes email it please. Terry can help you with anything to do with comp. He told me how to get my piccie on here, I am as bad as you say you are with computers/cameras. x

Only once have the dancers tried to get me and Mike to dance on a table and we politely declined then and will always say no..... you cant find a table big enough or strong enough.. LOL.! At the Horizon I was so glad they didn't ask me(as if they would have) I like to dance but not that much! ... the guy was a pretty big guy, well he had huge thighs anyway and there just wouldn't have been room for me as well... the girl that was there was embarrassingly close though, thought she was a lap dancer! I don't think it is very Greek dance though. We always laugh at our videos of Mike dancing with a glass on his head, you can hear us in the background shrieking with laughter.

First time we came to Greece, Zakynthos, we had a mantis by our studios.
It was the first I had ever seen.
I spent 6 months in Spain as a student and never saw one.
My picture was not a patch on this.
Is that the Praying mantis that sat above your bed every night Sue after being removed from next door. Praying mantis you have been evicted!!!!

(http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/patjmcn/SundownatArillas-June2007.jpg)
That is a really good sunset photo. Love it as it is very clear.
Dear Blondegirl
Thanks for the feedback. Its very pleasing to get an opinion posted, especially when its a kind one.
Must say that sunset watching in Arillas is what most of us love, except that when I met Dimitris at the Brouklis, he said his father never went down to watch the sunset.
Ah well - it takes all sorts.
Best wishes
PJ
If that was me,Patrick, I would frame that and put it on my wall. Beautiful.
Has anyone noticed that Dimitris has put all the old photo's on display? (photo gallery)Fantastic.
Thanks for pointing that out Jo, I love old photos like that.
Dimitris,
Ebay is a good source for old postcards. Yesterday I did an Ebay search for "Postcards Corfu" and found some. If a search is done on a regular basis, I am sure some of Arillas will turn up.
Here is one from yesterday
(http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/395748_r73af/w1147.jpg)
Hi Terry,
Collecting Corfu postcards is a little hobby of mine.
I have a fairly large collection of postcards which I've collected over the last 3 years. I've still to find an Arillas card in all my cyber searches, but I keep trying. I am on the mailing list of an auction house in Athens and still no luck there either.
It's amazing where the postcards turn up. I've bought them from people in Israel, Italy, USA, Canada and Spain to name a few.
Would you believe the most expensive postcards are not of places but people, especially in national dress...needless to say my collection is mostly made up of Corfu town and villages, including the one you have uploaded.
I've not added to my collection for a few months, I must get things moving again when I come back from Corfu.
Eileenx
Thats a lovely hobby Eileen. I just like old photographs anyway. Maybe we should start a new topic for Old photos.
Here is a site with lots of old photos of Corfu. It makes me wish I could read Greek.
http://oldkerkyraphoto.blogspot.com/
and some historic information here ... http://users.otenet.gr/~psailasn/index6.htm
Yes - what an interesting hobby, and its great when there is a theme to it, perhaps an old Arillas card will turn up soon.
Since this is the A to Z theme thought I'd progress to T with TABLE for TWO taken in Arillas 2007. Can't remember the name of the taverna, but its the one just up a little way north of the Horizon towards the main street.
It was a good meal (aren't they all in Arillas) - Stiffado for me and Mousaka for my better half (who kindly took the photo).
Best wishes
PJ
(http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/patjmcn/TableforTwoArillasJune2007.jpg)
We collect really nice postcards of the islands etc.. and made a couple of large collages of them and they are on our kitchen wall. They are always constant reminders of where we have been - one is of different local people and the other is of different buildings/homes/architecture etc. I want to do another one just of sea/boats/beach scenes. They are a talking point when people visit as they try and pick out the places they have been too, also a few of our own photos are in there which are nice. You could do a collage of the different sunsets in Arillas.
These are the only pictures I haven't packed yet for our impending/canceled move and I am so glad about that so I can have something nice to look at.
Nice picture PJ - says it all and makes me feel hungry.
Cheers
Negg
Hi Negg
Have just had a look at Dimitris's Tourist Map and we were at Kosta's on the Beach. Could tackle a stiffado right now but must wait until we get to Tingaki in Kos next week.
Thanks for the comment,
All the best

Tell you what is really sad, I had already guessed that by the wall. Not theat I've been there a lot or anything!
Hi Jo
As an Arillas Regular Visitor I guess you just know these things.
I remember that while we were eating at Kosta's the little group with the accordian player came round and we thought it was great. That was the first we'd seen of them, but then we discovered they were around most nights.
Best wishes
PJ
If we're still on "K"
"K" is for koncrete. - Well nearly because there is no Greek letter "C"
(http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/9761/uconcretewm6.jpg)
This is what is going on as I type. The crane lorry, which is linked to the concreting lorry, had to go over the house to reach, what will be the patio area, on the other side. He then needs to move the pipe to the front of the house to create the pathway. All done by his remote control, strapped to his waist. Hope he avoids the TV Aerial and Sat Dish we had put up yesterday.!!!!
I tried to get a photo of our Agent but he was moving too fast and shouting at anyone around him . He's currently washng off the cement that splashed all up the side wall.
( Under pressure or what ! )
I'm hiding indoors - Last thing they want is a spectator.
Negg
Eggy - at that angle it looks like he is going to lift the house off the ground!! ;)
Thats exactly what i thought haha!!
I also guessed it was Kostas on the Beach straight away cos thats the table we sat at in May, i could tell by the wall and the flowers, funny isnt it what makes you remember a certain place!
Eggy,
These afternoon Ouzos are no good for you. Its U after T so lets call it "Up and over the House" Koncrete.
PS Can we all come to the house warming party when its finished?
Indeed! Will there be a housewarming party? Mrs Egg would be most pleased if the forum descended upon your new house and partied :)
Shuey
We quite often get a crane in to move the house if the sun is in the wrong place.
Terry
I thought we were stlll on "K"
Housewarming party?? - We may have this in December/January because if I can warm the house without the expenditure of oil fired heating costs then Hurrah!!
EEG
If the forum descended our house Mrs Egg would be pleased to welcome you all, panic about what food to offer, and then divorce me when you all left!!!
Smiffy
So you thought they were trying to move the house as well? - You certainly "know your Onions" - But then you should because you've just come back from Spain.
Negg
Good Grief Neill!!!
You had me all worrited 'cos you posted the current letter was K :-)
Sorry to jump the queue, but I've been waiting for my turn to get some of my images in turn.
I hope I can get this right?

Yes Sharon, it was taken on the Wednesday of our first week. After taking that photo we went along to Ag.Georgios for lunch on the seafront. We were able to watch the excitement of the enormous waves from under the plastic covers of the Snackshack.
My daughter and I were treated to the sight of a few large, macho and handsome greek guys braving the seas...lunch was so enjoyable that day!!! ;-) Alas, with my attention diverted I forgot to take more photos!!
Eileeen.
P.S the Snackshack had been recommended to me which is why we took the time to pay a visit. MMmmmm they serve the most delicious home-made pizzas ever...definitely well a visit.
A...A dancing troupe??? Arillas Olive trees playing statues??? A fine group of handsome Olive trees? The field to the right of the olive trees was like a meadow, it was truly beautiful carpeted with little purple flowers

Eggy,
Does smiffy's photo remind you of anything from the past?
(http://www.diggerhistory.info/images/asstd3/kroy-small.jpg)
I remember them scrawlings on walls. I did a few.
Kilroy I think his name was.
Terry W - Now we are going back years - Both of us !!
( But as I have an idea of your birth date - You go back a twinge more than me )
Hee Hee Hee !!!
Smiffy - Fancy being asked if you're naked in the pool.
(Were you ? If so, which pool? and are you staying there next year?
and What dates ??)
Purelly research, for Terry W, you understand. - Pictures for the Forum I think he said.
Negg
( Well done on the pics !!! )
I love this thread!!!! PLEASE keep the pics coming everybody!!!!!

Lovely pic Marika, it is like a painting.

Terry and Negg, i'm giggling away here, I remember Kilroy as well, do you think Smiffy will give you the pool details Negg! x
Marika that is an awesome photo, do you do it for a living? x
Hi Everyone
There have been some stunning pictures on this thread, but I think Marika must have given us the best one so far. What a standard to set for the rest of us. Please show us more Marika.

Guten tag Marika, schon photographie!
That picture is absolutely stunning Marika!!!
Negg i wasnt naked im afraid!!!! I was just hiding haha!! I know its purely for research purposes of course!!
Thanks, i shall add another soon :-) .

There's something about looking at my photo that wants to make me hide in the bathroom for 6 months.
The sort of feeling you get after mixing 3 Ouzos with Baileys and drinking as one.
( I'm only glad you haven't got the one of me with speedos on )
Forgot - Sorry - Terry W got hold of that one!.
Negg
Marika
That is a great photo. I'm just wondering if I could print it and enlarge to picture size.
It would look really good in a frame.
Maybe Terry W has some advice .
Negg
Glad you asked that about Marka's photo Negg, i was thinking the same thing, i would have that framed and put in my lving room, it's gorgeous isn't it, as you are in viv's photo x
Very Tempting!!!!!!!!
Eggy's face with PJ's speedos.
Erm???????????
do it Terry xx
Terry
Don't forget there's not much left of your proposed hire car next June and Stratford is a very small world.
Sharon
Stop rabble rousing or I will come and live next door to you. People have moved house for less than that.
Negg
Marika, that is a beautiful photo! I do hope you have some more.
A lovely photo Marika do you mind if I ask has it been digi enhanched at all or was it just a nice light. Sharon Marika is not in the photo that one was taken about 3-4 yrs ago. I think I got some of Marika at the Horizon but havent managed to get through them all to see whats any good and whats not, will have to get down to it soon. Viv

I can almost feel the sand blowing in my face with the wind that's blowing.
Eileenxx
Thanks :-), that you all like my picture! It is one of my best!
I maked it at 2:00 in the night with a special programm in my camera!
To make photos like this you need time ( 30sec - 1min) and a tripod.
With the same programm I maked the picture of the Horizon in the night!
But I had luck, it was the night before fullmoon!
So the night it is a bit lighter, that makes it a bit easier!
I think I can't top it, but I have some more nice ones!
Viv => you have pictures from me in the Horizon! I am so looking forward to see them!
And can you send me the pictures? That will be very nice!
I have a look If I have a nice picture from me, in the Horizon!
OK! Time for the next picture :-)

Marika,
I think you should open an exhibition of your photographs, in Arillas, and sell prints. I would love to see the photos at A3 size (420mm x 297mm)or larger. and I would definitely buy one.
Do you have a web site to display themon?
TerryW
Hi Terry!
That is a good idea, an exhibition of my photographs. I must think about that :-)
Hmmm! I have no web side, I am thinking about that a long time,
but I don't know how it works and how much is it!
Because I have so many pictures and I don't know witch side I need (how many GB or ?)
But I have a name for the web side :-) "Marikas dream" or something like that!
I will see!
And here I have another one :-)
Very funny, I saw, you make the same, only a bit different! HaHaHa!

Brilliant little clip Marika !
Certainly look's different with that weather !
Don't know why but my photo's have come on now !
Arrr Barry, you got caught by that, you not the first and you wont be the last. When I stared to do photo's and smiley's I couldnt understand why I just saw the text all the time and kept wipeing it of and not even trying to post it and then
(http://bestsmileys.com/doh/4.gif) I clicked the post one day by mistake and there it was, couldnt believe it A REAL PHOTO
(http://bestsmileys.com/camera/5.gif) never tried 2 in one posting lets hope it works as I say I know a few of people that didnt know this happend and are now posting.
Marika its a good clipp. Viv
By the way does anybody know which letter we are meant to be on? Viv
I think perhaps we need to go back to 'A'. We've lost the plot!
It is a nice idea to post a small video like that Marika and even better to see what Arillas and the Horizon look like when it is raining.

can anyone recognise this trio.(http://http:img228.imageshack.us/img228/5783/johnpictures134q52.jpg)
So do we know what letter we are on yet or we starting back at A or just random pics now??
Thats a good question young smiffy, I reckon A is better that Q,X, Y or Z
I vote for random pictures Smiffy.
It's easier for me cause I can never remember the Alphabet by 5 pm in the afternoon.

Clare, your photo has just reminded me of how very cute your hubby to be is. No wonder you are excited about getting married, he is lovely and such a great guy.
W. x PS Stuart says, just like him : o )
Aah thanx Wendy, and indeed, just like Stuart, we both done well!! x

I got the shirts from e-bay and there is a chance that they do them in all the colours fo the rainbow.
Hi Everyone
This picture was taken on my first visit to Arillas in 2003, just after buying some souvenirs in Ina's Minimarket. We stayed in Sidari that time, hired cycles for the first week and then a little car for the second week. Exploring the north of the island we found Arillas and were very impressed.

Hi Riggers
I suppose it was to show it was our (hire) car, but I wouldn't do it on my own car. Thanks for the comment.
Hi Marikea
Fabulous picture at San Stefanos. Have I started a new trend - pics of our first visits?

Hi PJ!
What you see in my back is Arillas :-)
But no problem :-) and thank you.
It looked very different!
No Horizon, no Mirage, no Ina's,......
Marika
Hi Marika. I can see you have been going to Arillas a long time. Where i stay at the Kaloudis only seems to be half built aswell as any where else. It just goes to show you how Arillas has come on over the last decade....Regards ...riggers....
You have so right Riggers! In San Stefanos the same!
Wow in all the pictures I have from my holidays you can see very good the difference.
Regards Marika
MARIKA, Everythings changed from where you are standing aswell. I don't see a view that anymore....riggers..

Hi
So that's the real Eggy - Great picture Sinbad'sgirl.
Like the pictures of Corfu town, burger, lets have some more please.
Best wishes

Lovely place for a kip !

Hi all
Is it just me or does Eggy look totally different on every picture we see, from an ageing man in a cardigan to a young man in a dapper hat.
Mango
Perfectly placed in The Coconut Bar, as always ;-) !
He's much younger looking than you expect after seeing the original picture of him with the walking stick ! x
Is it Skoda on the hat Eggy?

Thats an interesting sign, John the Ref. I like the way cement and small rocks have been used with the supporting piece of wood to create a mobile sign.
I wonder how much the land is?
Oh no........... this could mean we get Real Estate Businesses Posting Pics on the forum, as its very tempting to phone the number.

Hi EEG
That's another great picture of our favourite place.
What a wonderful place to be. Am very envious and can hardly wait until our visit next May.
Remember having great fun this year in June, in the Horizon pool, trying to get on somebody's Lilo. My wife thought my feeble attempts a great hoot and took these pictures.
(http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee60/patjmcn/TroubleswithaLilo.jpg)
Patrick John, did you notice how the drain cover by the pool had been painted to make it look like crazy paving? I thought it was a clever thing to do, and well crafted as well. Its little things like that make a place special.
(http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/1373/s7000216vs3.jpg)
Love this pic of Greek ingenuity. H & S would have a fit. But it works !
I must say, that look's very safe.....riggers....
Hi Paul
Like the picture of the propped up boat - very ingenious.
Hi Terry
I agree about the Horizon. A high level of attention to detail makes a place just that bit special and out of the ordinary. Marino, Mary, Andrew, and Stephania (the Bulgarian clearner) all worked hard just to make our holiday memorable.
Best wishes to all Forum Members and Guests.
PJ
Apropos Horizon!
I found another picture! It is not so got like the others.
It looked like...... hmmm, I can't find in English the right word.
I think the picture have something special!

Marika,
What a beautiful picture of the illuminated pool glowing in the dark :)
Hello marika, i must say you take some brilliant photo's, is that a star in the background or a mark on our screen?! How do you do it because everytime we take a photo at night with the sky in it its rubbish! (there again the ouzo's to blame!) Also (sorry to be nosey) was you there with your brother last year when the world cup was on?
Another stunning photograph Marika, I think you are very artistic..
One English word that you could have used is Magical, because the way you have captured the different changes in the lighting is magical, and I can also see what appears to be a star.
Wundervoll
Sorry but i don't think they are stars. Dust on the lens, believe me i'm a professional iv'e got a polaroid.....riggers...
Polaroid means fun don't you know....riggers....
Looks like you could ice skate on it, can you imagen the fun turning the pool to ice after about 10 when weve all been on the bottle. lol. Viv
riggers, why don't you post some of the photos that you took. "having fun" with the polaroid?
Hi!
us24evr -> Thank you :-) Yes it is a star :-)
I make this kind of pictures with a special program in the camera.
It need 30 - 60 sec to take a picture like that.
riggers -> For sure it is a star and no dust on the lens.
On some other pictures of mine,
special the one with the tree, you can see more stars.
Hmmm! I want see pictures from you too,
if you say you are professional and they are so good! ;-) :-)
TerryW -> Thank you Terry :-) :-) And you found the right name for the picture :-)
I have another one!

Marika i couln't take a picture even if i had the best camera in the world. I was only joking. By the way your pictures are fantastic....riggers...
Riggers, this is was I thought about your pictures, camera! HaHaHa!
The best camera and pictures you make are in your mind and they are still there!
These are always the best pictures! I have some more in my mind too. HaHaHa!
Ahhh! And thank you riggers! :-)
arillas sunset
(http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/batemansxxxb/corfu2006arillassunset168.jpg)
How very beautiful. No matter how many times you see the sunset it still takes your breath away. What a fantastic photograph.
Fantastic photo Burger, cant wait to stand and watch another sunset in real time
Thats a wonderful photograph burger, and with it being in portrait mode more sky can be seen.
I think it would be nice to see a slide show of all of the sunsets thats have been published on here.
TerryW
here's another,you could say the red sea as it's a bit underexposed,but adds to the dramatic sunset
(http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee243/batemansxxxb/corfu2006158.jpg)
I never tire of looking at the sunset pictures because everyone is different, i love them!!
Patrickjohn, the trick to getting on a lilo is to stand on the poolside, put the lilo in the pool in front of you lengthways, you then dive on to it and hope for the best haha!!
Hi Smiffy
Agree with you about the sunset pictures - aren't they all just great?
Shall be in Arillas last two weeks in May 2008. Can I book you for some lessons in getting on Lilos please?
Best wishes
PJ

Sunset from Mirage, sept 07(http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/7149/arillas019ah8.jpg)
A lovely photo Sharon. I can just imagine myself sitting there gazing out to sea while enjoying a cocktail. :-)
Eileen.
Thanks Eileen, followed the image shack instructions, it's so easy!! We would either sit in Horizon or Mirage for the sunsets, bliss x
Well done on the posting of pics Sharon, see i told you if i could do it, you could!!
Lovely sunset picture!
Patrickjohn, unfortunately i wont be out there in May, but i want to see some pictures of you mastering the deed!!
I sympathise with Patrick John - I am just the same. On a recent trip to Cyprus I presented our resort with much merriment in my attempts to master the lilo! So I too shall have to follow your instructions, Smiffy, thanks.
We will also be there in May, but don't think it's the same weeks, PJ, as we go 5th to 19th ?

Yet another sunset.....
Lovely pictures.
Is it just round the corner coming from the Bardis Sun near the sea breeze?
Scary scaffolding, taken on the road up the mountain past Priniplas where they are building a house with awesome views. I am involved with H&S on a construction site so this really scared me!!
(http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/246/arillas031wh2.jpg)
Thats Bad!! Sharonf what job do you do then?
Paul.
That is scary, don't suppose they have same H & S standards in Corfu !
You shall have to let me know how you get on with the lilo laying in May Lynn??!
I was going to say the same as you Shuey, its just before you turn the bend onto the front from Bardis Sun end.
Theres no way on earth they stand on that scaffolding surely??!! How dangerous does that look, great pic though!!
Hi Shuey and Smiffy,
Yes, right first time, don't know what the prize is though - perhaps more tea bags for Eggy, ha ha.
Seriously scary scaffolding, Sharon!
(http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/5599/cimg00061cx5.jpg)
By way of a change, took this at the Rainbow last year.Quite effective I thought.
I like that almost looks as id they should be dancing to music like the fireworks do. Viv

Thats Bad!! Sharonf what job do you do then?
Paul.
Hi Paul, I am a site manager, it's vary varied, organising work on site, adminstration, health and safety is one of the duties. keeping the lads and the contractor happy!
Smiffy didn't see anybody on it, but it was about 2pm so there wasn't anybody around.
xx
Hi Sharon i am doing my NVQ4 site management and also have to look after subbies and all the H&S. I work for Costain in Birmingham and currently on a £5 million Medical Centre.
Paul
It always makes us smile when we see the H & S standards in greece when building works are going on..... really scary scaffolding.. You dont see anyone wearing goggles, gloves or even work boots.
my daughter works for Lang Orourke, Crownhouse contractors and she is always looking at scaffolding and cranes etc... when we go past any building works.
Hi Paul, we are working on council renovations., my employers are contracted to the main contractor to the housing trust. I am responsible for the brickies, plasterers, tilers and internal demolition. Everyday is different, which is great. BG, i'm like your daughter, once you are involved with H&S it's hard to take the hat off!xx

Marika
Love the Picie
cant awit to stand on the beach and watch the sun set again
Again, a really artistic take on that sunset. Thanks again marika.
sharonf&pg32 ,thats three of us in the same game,im project manager for new company ,but it amazes me when im abroad to see things like this as you would be strung up in this country by all the cdm regs....yammas
I love their ladders :-)
Marika did you take that picture from the Horizon?....riggers....
Hi riggers!
Yes the picture from the sunset I make from the terasse of the Horizon!
Marika
Yes i thought so. It's a great pic, you can almost feel you there.....riggers....
Marika you take absolutely stunning photos, thank you for sharing them x
I agree, i think you should sell them as pictures but blown up in size, so we can then frame them and hang them on our walls, id definitely buy the one with the moon and boat in it, i love that one!
(http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/1007/cimg0027gb9.jpg)
By way of a change,this was taken in Sept.06 in the Rainbow. Not one to dwell on.
Thank you Sharon and Smiffy :-)
Smiffy I will and must think about it :-)
It is a very good idea!
You mean like this? I hang up one in my bedroom. It is in the size 40x55cm :-)
(http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/8509/20070519mareikesschlafzqp4.jpg)

They are all breathtaking Marika. Maybe Joyce and I can commission you for a few photos when we do our website for our house....eventually! We should get some fantastic sunsets up in that hill.
Did someone mention Health & Safety..............................??(http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/3830/p9200084rg3.jpg)
*LOL* I see what you mean :)
Marika, I would definately pay for one (all!!!) of your photos, agree with Smiffy that one with the boat in the moonlight is stunning. xx
I think you've got a few customers already Marika haha, ive started everyone off!!
It would be great if you could somehow do it xx
Smiffy, Sharon
For sure I will find a way how to do that!
Marika
(http://img252.imageshack.us/img252/9900/200705310609corfu134ju4.jpg)

Marika x x x
Marika, just remember me n Smiffy are first in queue! Can't wait to see if it's possible and I love how your accent comes across in your posts x
Hey Sharon, don't forget me, I was between Smiffy and you! LOL

Hi girls, Smiffy, Sharon and Lynn!
Ok! Tell me exactly witch picture you want, than I can order them and than I will see how you get them and how much they are, because I have no prices in my head :-)
All that I must find out and know than if I had ordered them.
:-) Sharon , my accent? HaHaHa! Write I a so German English? HaHaHa!
Marika x x x
Ilike your new avatar photo Marika!.....riggers....
Thank you riggers, it is from this summer :-)
Marika
Hi Marika,
I definately want the boat and the moonlight one, I will have a look through the others and let you know.
Sharon x
Hi Marika
Add me to your customer list. Your photographs are fabulous.
I have some good pics also, all I need to do is learn how to put them on the forum !!!!!!!!!!
Pauline x
Pauline if you look at the trip to the vets thread, in general chat, it tells you really simply on there how to do it. I followed that, and i'm a complete novice on the pc, and it is so easy. x
Hi Pauline
Sharon learnt how to post pictures and now she can't stop. Keep em coming Sharon.
Amanda
I'll second that Amanda! Keep 'em coming Sharon, I'm enjoying seeing your variety of different 'shots' around Arillas and Corfu...especially your ones on the 'Where's this' thread!!

Love that one Burger, Eileen thanks for that x
Thanks Sharon and Amanda.
Will try and give it a go when I have got more time.
Pauline x
Marika, your pictures are so well constructed and thought out, you MUST start to sell them. The artist in you can't be held down. I will buy one but there is a much bigger market out there for you. Start doing people - you will make wonderful thoughtful and watchable pictures of all of us. You've got the technical, but you've also got the art...
with best wishes
Phil of philandjen
Hi together!
I don't know what I can say!
I would not really have expected so a large resonance!
That makes me very lucky!
Thank you Phil for your beautiful words!
I must say thank you to Eggy, Sharon, Smiffy, Lynn/Colin, Pauline.......
You all make me strong, maybe to find a new way in my life!
It is not easy, because we have so many Photo graph in the world.
They learned it for few years, have special cameras.....
And still for them it is not easy to find jobs.
And than I come with my little camera. But I hope my dream is coming true.
But you all make me happy, because you all like my photos.
To make photos for professional is my dream!
And you can be safe, that you all get your poster!
The poster have ca. the size 40x55cm!
More largely does not go unfortunately because the pictures have not enough pixel,
otherwise those become in a diffuse way.
Pauline, I write you to my customers :-)
I make a list now with the names and which picture you want!
So tell me what pictures you like to have!
And at the end I must say something to you all!
I saw so many pictures here and I can say, all of you make beautiful, lovely pictures!
Thanks Marika x x x x

What a lovely post, Marika!
There are several of your photos I love, I am currently working on a short list! Let you know as soon as I decide.
Lynn xx
i love that photo of the sea and the waves
Marika, okay two i definately want are the moonlight one on page 32, and the one on page 44 of the sunset it's the one with the picture in your bedroom just above.
Whatever you can do will be great, then we will have to sort out how we pay for them. Thanks again Marika.
Sharon xxx
Sharon, I noticed your two pictures!
Very good choice! :-)
Now I only wait for some more and than I can order them all together!
And tell you than how we do that with the paying.
If I have the photos together for order I know than the price
and than I can tell you the price for the Photo(s).
I tell you that than before, if that all is ok for you!

Hi Lynn,

Lovely, Smashing, Super , Great.
Anyone know where that came from?
Brilliant Marika.

Fantastic Marika
How about doing a Calendar
Yes i AGREE jOHN.!!!
Thank you very very much riggers and John!
:) :) :)
Hmmm! Is a very good idea :)
I will think about it!
Marika x x x
Excellent Pictures Marika - you are very talented.
Just back in action - had a nasty dose of Spanish Tummy yesterday. Funny I never get that in Arillas....
Lovely pics as usual Marika - the forum's "first lady of photography."
Jen an me would also love to buy a calendar. We have so many ideas rattling round in our heads - perhaps a www.arillas.com calendar, using forum colour scheme, featuring only our dedicated forum photographers and Arillas pics, resume's on the back, available online to forum members and visitors, can be bought in Ailllas too, big push to sell at Christmas etc etc. The forum pulled off the song (before our time sadly, but we still play it now and then) and I am sure we could do this.
What a fantastic promotion for the forum, the village, the photographers and all....
We could all vote for the 12 (?) pics online to make the content truly democratic if that is what we want.
Any views? We hope we can do something like this.
Best wishes
phil and jenny
Phil & Jen - Good idea - Poor Marika will sonn have to start up a small company.
They would be snapped up in Arillas , I reckon.
Negg
But Eggy, let's hope she gets the recognition she deserves.
Snapped up???
<a href="http://img256.imageshack.us/my.php?image=crocodile01fn7.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/7520/crocodile01fn7.th.jpg" border="0"/></a>
And Marika - you are the forum's photographer. Will vote for you.
The Arillas Calendar - currently a project, tomorrow a tradition.
Hi Phil and Jen, Eggy, riggers, John, SharonF, Sandy, Lynn/Colin, Smiffy....
and all my lovely friends!
You make me crying :'(
You are all soooooooooooo beautiful!
I have no words!
"I make very good photos" you all say!
Since if I was a small child I like to make photos.
Everybody was laughing about that,
because everywhere I went I had my camera with me.
You never seen me without that. But I can say a lot of them are not really good.
Than I came to Corfu and 2 years after I get my first Digital camera.
and in that year I discovered my passion for the photography.
I would have never expected, that I am praised in such a way for it, as from you!
All of you make my feeling in the moment very high,
in a momentary very difficult time for me.
That is why I can cry! You all make me very happy, with your lovely words for my photos!
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!
With a lot of love
Marika x x x
And a Big THANK YOU for Dimitris,
that this webside exists.
Without this side, where I could adjust my photos,
I never found out, that my photos find so much acknowledgment.
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH DIMITRIS!
With a lot of love
Marika
Marika, you see what we don't until you capture it on film. Then we see it. That is what art is about. Horizon pool poster looks like an African river. Our friends stand and stare at it. Filipos just shrugged, bent his knees and looked at us in disbelief (BTW he will be back here shortly.)
Have you thought about portraits? You would be brilliant there too. Whoever took Dimitris and Bebis had Jenny dictating a post on the forum. Beautiful. She said "perhaps Marika took it?"
I am serious about a calendar - it would be a treasure for both Jen and me. It could also help Dimitris and the forum.
with love
phil and jenny
where can I find the photo of Dimitris and Bebis?
Brilliant idea phil and jen for a calendar. Great idea too that we all vote for the best 12 piccies.
Marika, you deserve all the praise you receive. Like philandjen said, we dont see it until you have captured it, that takes a special talent.

I have managed to get all my old photos back on, and whilst doing it I had lots of pleasure, looking at all of the photos in this topic.

Well done Gata!
I attach a picture of today's Sunset again,
something that I miss during the summer season as I have to be at work ( only 200m ) away from some of the best sunsets in world!
Hi PG32
About the house on the headland. We walked up to it last year and it was closed up and seemed unfinished. We enquired about it and were told the owner live(s)d in San Stefanos, had had a dream to build it all his life, but now that it was nearly complete he'd got a serious illness and couldn't complete it.
Anyone know better?
PJ
Great Photos Terry.
I'll have the STAMNA off the menu please, and could you do me an ouzo while i'm waiting.
Another great Sunset Photo too Dimitris..
We have got one of those digital photo frames that we have never used, didnt know how to download the photos... our son came round and I found all the photos I had of Arillas etc... and he has put them on this frame. I was so excited because now I have all our holiday snaps and sunsets of Arillas constantly changing in the living room and everyone that visits can see how lovely Arillas is. A permanent daily reminder whenever I walk into the room. Just need some music I think!
Gata,
Thats a good challenge but I am running out of photographs but I will have a go
Marika...... Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic sunset Dimitris, its good to see the sunset moving towards San Stefanos again.
Would you like bread with the Stamna, Riggers and here is you Ouzo

Thanks Marika - some good photos again, especially the table of food.
I think Gata meant that we start again but going through the Greek alphabet.
So, the first picture could be A for Αρίλλας
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/arillasview.jpg)
Nice picture Terry. We stopped taking pictures after the 5th visit. Not long now???
This is hard work but fun
β for βάρκα

Well done Terry - didnt take you long!! I suppose I'd better rise to my challenge and look for some myself. I'll see what I can do.
Mi ow... Mi ow...
Found my first one, it was staring me in the face.....Γάτα
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh20/arillas/IMGP0182a.jpg)
I'm glad you did that one Gata - I was struggling to find a word starting with 'Γ'
I think I have learnt more about the Greek language in the last 24 hours than ever before.
I still don't know a lot though
"Γχαρσόν" at the Horizon

(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/table.jpg)
Hi Terry
You've jumped 16 letters, you need to give me/others time to find things.
PATIENCE.......man......!!!!!!! - A cat has patience
I have photos for many other letters but I didn't want to just monopolise the game, I was waiting for the correct letter order.
Now lets start again LOL (CAUSE YOUR CHEATING!!!!!!!!)
The only words I can find for this letter is tree or forest. Have you any good photos of a Greek tree or forest?
Ok Gata, you gave me a big clue so it is
δ for δέντρο (it had to be an ελιά δέντρο, eh Eileen)

Gata and Marika, I think your Greek is a 1000 times better than mine, it takes me hours to translate and find suitable words that can be turned into photographs. Some lovely photos. I loved the dancing one Marika.
I am finding this web site a great help http://www.kypros.org/cgi-bin/lexicon
I just have to assume that the translations are accurate.
Marika, there is a free ( you can donate ) photo editng program here
http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
TerryW
HaHaHa!
Terry,I have a very nice book, where I had a look for these words :D
My greek is not good :)
And thanks for that programm .)
I tried it few month ago,
I found it in the internet too, if I had a look for free programms,
but it was not working!
I had that on my old computer. So, that is why I had a look for it!
But no problem, I have 4 other programms on my computer :D
I can do with them everything!
Marika x x x
Marika I also had one for "κ"
κρασί

and I have one for "λ"
λουλούδι
(http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh20/arillas/flower.jpg)
Thanks Gata, Terry and Marika. Some really wonderful photos - please keep them coming!
My favourite is Marika's Θάλαοοα. (My greek is even worse - I cut and pasted it in there...)
The child (or it could be anyone - so intriguing) set in the corner of a fantastic darkly lit but sunny sea and the beach so equally inviting and dangerous. An amazing picture.

M is for μαδαινουμε - We learn - "Mathinoume"

That Greek Language and People looks well used Eggy!
Looks like you use those book frequently, Eggy!
Eggy I thought you were learning ancient Greek when I seen your "Greek Language and People Book" I have the same book but a much newer version. You must have had the book for a lot of years.
You must be very fluent with your Greek now Eggy.??
Riggers - Fluent ? - Not really but picking up a little more every day. I can read much better due to watching bits of Greek TV.
( English Films with Greek subtitles seem a good way to learn )
Thet Greek Language and People book is about 15 years old and Hugo's Learn Greek in 3 months? - Well I bought that about 6 years ago and I've nearly got to the end!
Siga Siga as the Greeks say.
So... N (ni ) is for ντοματα (dthomata )

TerryW
Terry I know what you mean. I have to think of a Greek word for the letter and my Greek vocabulary is very limited and gets worse the longer I'm away from Arillas. Once I get a word I then have to find a photo that matches the word. Its just about took up my whole weekend!!! But its been fun looking through my Arillas photos again.

Phil, the word your looking for is hotel-keeper. Personally, I thought that photo was rather nice.lol.
PhilandJen - ξενοδοχος means Hotel Manager - I think! but don't quote me!!!!
Eggy - A lovely tree, is it in your garden?
I cant keep up with this, giving my language skills a breather at the moment - Urdu was hard enough!
I've been in Shropshire, all day so I am a bit behind with all this now. The photos posted today are great and seeing them makes you look up the name to see what it actually means. Its ok to recognise the word but to be able to pronounce it is impossible.
Can we have the ability to listen to sound on the forum Dimitris?
Thanks for extending this topic Gata it is educational and great fun. Brings back memories of maths at school when I see the symbols.
Maggie, was it Marinos?
I would say so......
Thanks Maggie and Gata. My Greek just increased by about 50%

I'm not giving up!

I'm still looking at the keyboard here so, unless someone beats me to it, I'll put on the keys you type to get the Greek letters soon. ( Hope that makes sense )

φυτο - Is plant - ( Fyto )
Don't wanna be a smart ass but have you confused this letter with ΨΙ (PSI) .
Αs in ΨΑΡΙ - psari - Fish.
Or have I got totally confued with the greek alphabet?
( Anyone got a good picture of a fish ? - or a loaf of bread?)
Dimitris - Wegg says thankyou for saying it doesn't look like her.
Negg
Eggy,
According to my book and Babel Fish, φυτο is plant. I haven't confused it with Ψ because that is the letter I am currently looking at. There are bound to be quite a few discrepencies with these words because for all I know plant could be as Heavy Lifting Plant.
What we need now, is for someone to make a recording of the correct pronounciation of these words and upload to a website so we can listen to them.
Eggy and Dimitris,
What is the history of the "taverna" picture? It is an intriguing photograph that looks like a painting, or is it a painting? It really does show a delightful picture of daily Arillas life. Very peacefull.
TerryW
Κιριε
Κατελαβαινω Τορα - συγγνομη - (Katelaveno tora-signomi) I understand now - sorry.
You're right that the pronounciation is important. We played one the the Pimsleur learn greek tapes the other day and realised we had a couple of simple words quite wrong with the accents. Learn from mistakes is what we still do.
That Taverna picture was a postcard that Dimitris super imposed my face on. The "me" on the end was my forum photo for a very long time.
Cheers
Negg
Some of us liked that forum photo Eggy....
I remember Dimitris showing it to me on his computer when he was doing it. He said then that the old boy at the other end was going to be Harold and he did name the other 2 but I cant remember who he said now. I know we had a right laugh about it. love Viv

Just for you I'll wear an old jumper and bring me ole mother's stick to Brouklis when you and Joyce are over here.

The best I can think off, with the help of a Greek Dictionary, is - ωνια (onia )
It means provisions/Goods. - So come on someone and take a picture of your food cupboard. -
It could make us jealous here. Hp Sauce/Salad Cream/Pickled Onions/Proper Bacon ?

Hi everyone
Am finding it a bit difficult to keep up with this thread now its in Greek.
However not to be outdone I've got an Omega for you (as well as an Alpha)

ώ Ω is a difficult one, but I think this is OK. I have looked through lots of my photographs of Corfu and Kefalonia and realised that not many public buildings have clocks, or I have always missed them.

It means Shed/Storeroom.

Out on a limb with this one and can't find it in the Greek/English dictionary. So I have guessed with the spelling and hope it's right.
I also hope that Dimitris will correct it if necessary.
It's all a learning curve.

Hi Negg
Is it your store room/Shed??
Amanda
I like the crazy paving!
Thats a very posh shed! Can you let it out?
Mango
The shed and pergola is alll my handiwork. ( in between the odd Ouzo or 5 )
Terry
The crazy paving extends to 3 pathways around the front of the house but that handy work is down to 2 very good greek "artists"
BG
As soon as we get the mattress and drinks cabinet installed we will let you know.
Cheers
Negg
ps - As, trying to be "typically Greek" the roof of the pergola was done using Bamboo canes which we found dumped as rubbish one morning.
( One mans rubbish is another mans treasure here - Luv it! )
Today I found 2 more wheel trims to replace the one's that keep bouncing of the pug.
What about the bed you found on the beach? Dont worry about the drinks cabinet, a cooler box will do fine.
Great Eggy, thats better to include the english meaning as well, I may begin to learn it now!

OK Eggy
I will see what I can do, didnt know if forum members had had enuf, but if u and others are still interested then so am I
Gata
Please keep the pics coming. I would try if I could figure out how to do greek typing!!!!!
Hi Maggie
A little cheat for you. Enter the English word in this link http://www.kypros.org/cgi-bin/lexicon it will give you the Greek word. Then all you do is copy and paste
Thats a great link Gata, now i will just have to learn how to do the rest.

I did the β last time (well thats my excuse). I use a Greek Phrase book that has English and Greek words alphabetically, but I am running out of Photos.
I'm glad I didn't post a β photo otherwise we may not have seen those lovely views from Mount Pantokrator that Gata has posted. Great Pics.
Thanku Terry
These were taken in July 2004, only problem was it was such a hot and hazy day the views were not as clear and spectacular as they can be.
Yes i must agree ,they are lovely views.

ε for ελαστικό = tyre and αριθ ελαστικό = no Tyre
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/tyre.jpg)
Is the bike still there?
Eggy: Just filled out the forms, just need the mug shots, we both needed new ones this year. They should be here by September!
Terry
I don't understand/know "αριθ ελαστικό" as no tyre. I thought the word for "no" was "όχι". I cant find the word αριθ anywhere. Where did you see it.
Eggy: do you know the word? I like to learn Greek so further info would be helpful
Gata
I can't type the Greek but do you mean "horis"..."without". They may be sound the same?
Not a word I recognise and Dimitris may correct me here but " θ " which is the Greek θητα - ( Thita ) is never used at the end of a word - May be wrong.
οχι - ochi - is the word for no and can be used as it is at Home.
χωριζ - choris ( "ch" as in Loch - The same with ochi ) is without.
So I suppose you could say "no Tyre" or "without a tyre"
I need to workout how to say in Greek:-
"When I find Terry's hire car it will quickly be without tyres"
History lesson over - I gotta headache now !
Anyway - A good εψιλο - (epsilo ) Terry.
Anyone for a ζιτα - (zita) ?
Negg
At least I will know how to type κλεμμένος ελαστικό when my hire car has been "Egged".
What would the plural be, if ελαστικό = tyre what would tyres be?
Here is ζ for ζωγραφική = a painting at Irini's
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/painting.jpg)
have you been on Irinis Web page
http://irinis-art.freehostia.com/
some lovely stuff
Thanks for posting that link Gata, I didn't know that Irini had a website.
Hi Terry
hope you had a chance to look on Irini's Site. If you did you may have seen me!!!!!
To answer your question about plural for ελαστικό. I think by its ending its a neuter word
το ελαστικό = the tyre so therefore the plural may be τα ελαστικα - the tyres. I may be wrong as that was from my limited knowledge of Greek language rules and once you think you understand the rules some irregularity pops in and throws your understanding into chaos - is there any other learners out there who understand what I mean!
Terry / Gata
Heavy stuff these plurals and I still get a lot wrong. It's a bit of a minefield and a lot of it gets put into memory. A little like how you identify the word "LEAD" within a sentence. "Lead is a metal" or "The dog is on a lead" - That sort of thing.
I'm sure Gata is right on the plural for tyre as most neuter nouns ending in "O" will change to an "A". As will most neuter nouns ending in " I "
Eg - to pedhi - ta pedthia ( Child / Children )
But a feminine noun as in "ee ora" (the hour ) becomes "ores" ( hours)
I've gotta nother headache now!
Cheers
Negg
I know what u mean about a headache!!!!
My Greek seems to flow so much better after a few glasses/bottles of wines lol
Languages are strange:
What about this. You chop down a tree and then you cut or brake up the branches. How did we ever learn English!!!!
Gata
I can slip quite comfortably into Greek after a couple of bevvies. But, quite often. I still struggle to understand as one word can flow into another
Yiasas for example is "hello/goodbye" yia sas can be translated as " for you "
I worry sometimes I will forget a lot of English - Who saw that I put "History lesson" earlier instead of "Greek lesson"? - You were all too polite to tell me!
So - Continue the education - Who's got a "Η - η - ητα" - ita?
I am concerned that not all this banter will be enjoyed by all so c'mon Forum. If you think we should stick a Greek A-Z on another topic make your feelings felt.
Negg
ps - I feel like I'm back at school but, for me, it's enjoyable education for a change.
pps. - Also I failed my English language and literature A-Levels ,years ago so you've all got a head start on me.
Lovely to see a photo of Irini.....
I would love to have a go but my head is still swimming with Urdu words over 6 months of lessons and I feel like a break from languages. Give me a few more weeks and I might be able to have a go. I think one of the problems is learning the phonetics and not really knowing how the words really sound. The alphabet has got to be a good start though. The worse part is def. the grammar!
I think its amazing that you are all having a go. Are you using a greek translator online so as to be able to copy and paste the actual greek writing too?
So with Dans Romanian, Marika with her language (is she from Finland or Sweden), and Italian etc. we should all be able to pick a few other languages too.
I found this to help remember the order of the alphabet

Okay, for myself yes, because I love this thread but it's all very confusing now, I havent a clue which letter is supposed to be in the photo.

I agree Sharon. I'm having trouble following it.
Me too unfortunately, love looking at the photos but totally confused now!
Meant to say lovely picture Terry- the colours are fantastic!
Good Honest Replies folks.
I suggest we start a new post " Greek Alpha to Omega Photos " and put the A-Z back for everyone.Or any title that fits.
( Then we can all get the best of both !)
Whose gonna start us off with A's for both then?
Negg
I am so glad you suggested this Neil. I loved the a-z but could not follow the greek version.
I love seeing the photos but it was a bit off putting with the greek alphabet.
Thanks

Aah thank you! That sounds like an excellent idea.
Yes Negg, it was very thoughtful of you to suggest it, thank you.

Hi all
sorry I just started a new thread, but because it took me so long to upload my picture you are already on B.
I just named it a-z pictures of arillas - english then perhaps we can run a greek alphabet along side it.
just an idea.
Amanda
I go to a meeting, have a quick look at the forum when I get back to office and its changed. Its great, we can now have twice as many photos, due to two separate topics.

OK, you have got me total confused now!!!
We have :>>
Arillas Forum > Welcome to Arillas > Arillas general information > A to Z - Photographs of Arillas and Corfu
The original one, accessable to all.
and now we have :>>
Arillas Forum > Welcome to Arillas > GENERAL CHAT and other gossips > A-Z Pictures of Arillas - English
The new one, accessable to members only!!, don't think that is a good idea?, share with everybody please!.
So were is the Greek one?.
Confused!!.
This one with the 61 pages is the original English one.. It seems to have all gone a bit pear shaped!
This is the English one, and I suppose Eggy or Gata will start a Greek one. Mango started the other accidentally.
Sharon x
Hi Sharon
Yes it was an accident, but I did say sorry! ah ah
we'll let you off.. I am easily confused!
Me too BG.
That's why we're blonde!!!!!!!!!
Speaking of pics BG, I very much hope that you have that profile pic framed. Its gorgeous!
Not sure how to post a pic as yet but if it simmilar to other forums well here if it works this is from the top of Pantokrator San Stef and Arillas are in the distance

Hi Tony
You seem to have managed very well with a super pic. However if you make them a bit smaller its easier to view them - it avoids only half being visible and having to move the slide bar along.
Keep up the good work.

I found some "free" downloadable photographs here ......

Wow, the first picture you come to is very similar to the one Dimitris has at the moment as "picture of the day".
Lovely sunsets.
Amanda
Hi Amanda, I thought that, I even had to go back and have a look to make sure it wasn.t the same. I think that Harris is on both of them.lol. Viv
Hi Viv
Yes I had to check Dimitris, just in case he had been cheating, only kidding Dimitris. Ha Ha!!!
Amanda
I was thinking the other way round, I thought somebody may have pinched his. Very serious matter because of copyright, but we were both wrong, which im pleased about. lol Viv
Hi all. Jen and me went chasing round the net looking for the plagiairism. We thought it was one of Marikas at first and would have objected loudly. But we didn't find anything so fair do's - another fantastic picture of "our favourite place"

J is for just to remind me of our first rooms in Arillas (1992) "changed a bit",
(http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/5628/seabreeze19922bq6.jpg)
if this works, then I have not completely lost my marbles, and yes it is now known as the "Sea Breeze", memories and the start of a long lasting love affair. Mick.
That's a really interesting photo....don't remember ever seeing it like that and I was there in '93. It's great seeing all the old pictures of how Arillas used to be.
Mick
It is working, and you haven't lost your marbles. Its a good job too, because I reckon you will have a lot of interesting photos to show us, especially if they are as old as the last one.
Keep em coming mate I think we could be in for a treat.
Stared at your pic for ages Mick. Both Sandy and Terry have said it. Any more treats like that? We are all hoping so
Phil
Amazing photo... so that little road that goes past it is the one that leads to the BS Studios etc.? Where the gate is positioned does that mean they didnt use that road, it wasnt a thru road, I presume the road in front is facing the sea where the terrace is now.
I love to see the before photos.
Nice one Mick! May forgive you for your liverpool/man utd comment if you keep them coming! hahaha.
Great pics, more please
Sharon x
The picture of Sea Breeze actually has the road and the sea out of view but running top to bottom of the right hand side. And Sandy it was like this until 1995 if my memoery serves me right. We remember grandad and granma sitting there regularly. Grandad had a real twinkle in his eye and always had a tomato in his pocket to give to any ladies that stopped to talk to him. Sometimes he would sit over the road outside the canopy covered part of the resturaunt that now is. The road also went on around the bend to Bardis sun as it does now.
John & Ann
Maybe I'm being a bit dim here, but i can't see any photo!
Maggie it is there on last page, you will remember it if you used the back road from Tria. Now that was an interesting road a night in the dark.
John you'r not wrong, and as for Grandad, what can anyone say, he was a real lady lover ;-) and of all ages.
Due to house moves I have lost or mislaid a lot of photos, but I have found some that could be of interest. I am having a problem using 'imageshack' so will try again later.
Mick.
I've just looked again and i saw you photo mick, it wasn't there when I looked earlier tho.
Another one, this shows the road that goes around the back of the house and the second old house that is now next to the pool.
(http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/7914/seabreeze19923nw8.jpg)
Again 1992. In 93 the family used the rooms themselves because some persons had complained that it was too cold inside. We loved it, go inside during the heat and to be able to cool down, Bliss. Mick.
thats a really good photo. In the background it looks totally unbuilt, not even many trees about either, hardly anything there. Amazing what happens in a few years. Great to look at.
What are the words on top of the railings, I cant make it out.
Looks like it says BARDIS ENTERPRISE.
riggers......
I think thats where Dorita and family live(d) during the summer so that they are on site.
Sorry - also meant to say great photos keep them coming - the old ones are the best!!

The last one is not lettered as it isn't of Arillas but just over the hill (San Stefano) and I believe thats one of Tony's places. And yes the beach is nice.
Sorry for the spelling mistake with the picture but I am dashing about trying to fix up a holiday for my son, his lover and my latest gorgeous granddaughter who will be about 22 months old when they come in October all for the first time. Mick.

One thing for certain Mick you wont put me off lol:-)

Hi
I agree with blondgirl (susieb) that your first attempt Peter & Evie is first class. Very atmospheric or perhap mysterious look to the island. Hope its the first of many pics you post.
Looking forward to seeing it myself next week (reminds me must go and get some Euros before they go up any more)
Best wishes

Not if it's been anywhere near the Donut man thank you very much Terry....
Terry, I did think of Sandy when I took it but deciced that even if crocs were not about she wouldn't have worn black sandals.

You're right, John, we were always catching him asleep!
We are looking forward to seeing that little dog that used to be tied up at the Sea Breeze... does anyone know if he is still there?
blondegirl - if it´s the same dog of Yanni´s I saw in previous years, he told me it had been poisoned and died. He called it Jimmy I believe. I had the dog originally when I lived in Magoulades, and it was called Paska. The house-owner would not allow me to keep it and so Yanni was glad to take it. I saw no dog there last week but Yanni was not there at the time, so hopefully the dog you saw is a new one.
I hope he hasnt died. He was so cute. The first few days he was running around loose but because of the traffic on that corner of the Sea Breeze he was tied up. He would always come out from under the bush to say hello and bark like mad when you left him. He wasnt very old and was a really lovely dog.
Jimmy/Paska was 4 years old last year, so may not be the same dog you mean. Hope not anyway.
The one you are thinking of Sue is Lara.She was a boxer pup only a few months old.When we went back in Aug she wasnt around.He said she wasnt well but was getting better.I have a feeling she didnt survive.
Have now put her as my profile picture.
Oh Lisa thats sad. She was so gorgeous. Lovely to see her photo, thanks for that!

aaaahhh, how do i make them smaller, help me please, haha. xx
Try opening it in Paint Sharon, then image/resize (about 20% should do it).
Jen, sorry still none the wiser, how do I do that, i'm using image shack, and usually click resize, but its staying on the large size.

Just after taking this photo, we walked up to top to the benches, a couple of bees must have taken exception to having their photo taken. There were about 6 people at the top, when 2 bees went mental at me! lol. I cannot stay still, and was screaming and running around waving my bag which hit me on the head, but they just kept coming, billy's saying, keep still you'll have the whole hive after you. aaahhhh, legged it!
LOL! Glad you escaped and nice pic's :)
I think Sharon needs to tell us the truth about that photograph

I love that photo PJ... brought a lump to my throat... its a really beautiful shot!
That's a beautiful pic, PJ.
Agreed BG - it is a fantastic shot. Well done PJ - you have captured some of what it all means to us.
Phil
I love the colours on that sunset PJ, just amazing. You can see why ancient civilisations worshipped the sun.
Lol, Terry - also love to know where you dig them up from!
Gorgeous photo, PJ - very atmospheric!

Nice to see you on the forum again. We are not a million miles away from you, between Rotherham and Barnsley.

Hi Angiem
See my PM to you.
Amanda
I = Sandy's new table? Insperaitional
(http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g262/viviankizzysmum/IMGP0582.jpg)
LOL Viv....that was my dad's invention before I bought a patio table. I like it so much I've decided to keep it.....but visitors beware.....if you walk up there and are thirsty don't be tempted to drink that water - it's been in the bottles for weeks!
Sandy I forgot all about that table! Liz and Dave loved it! I think it deserves the Turner prize...so much more deserving than dead cows, soiled beds and demolished buildings!!!
Eileenxx
Viv...thanks so much for that picture. I've just got home and logged in as I can't access photos at work. The good news is that apart from my coffee table....my patio railings are in!!!!!! They hadn't been fitted when I was there so it's good to see a little bit more has been done......it WILL be finished one day....and now I won't fall overboard to the lower level if I have one retsina too many!
Eileen is right - it could easily be next year's Turner. Could get all arty-farty here but don't know how to. I do accounting and IT...
I know Tracey Emin's tent burned down - I haven't been caught yet....
You have a wonderful house in Afionas Sandy. And viv has captured a wonderful take on it. Jen and me will visit you there one day.
Phil
I hope you will Phil....you and Jen must come up for a glass of water at the beginning of September! I reckon it's still Arillas though, not Afionas....
As long as it isn't out of one of those bottles though Sandy. If I'm right they will be too posh and expensive to waste on the likes of Jen and me.
Arillas Afionas - what difference? Night Owls know better. You are quite right though - we've invited ourselves. Please bring your dad
Phil
LOL, remember seeing the table when I went up for a nosy! It's a fab house. xx
Hi Phil
You never know , by september you may get a cold Mythos from the outside fridge .

Just keep them coming we Viv, we love them all.
Hey viv, what sort of flip flops are in the shops in Arillas? Love the picture, as I love beads etc. xx
They dont seem to have changed in the past couple of years just the normal wood and plastic and no special one's added. Didn't take a photo to show you.

Again I can say WOW!
And it was sooo nice to see Erja, Heidi and Riggers the first time!
And they are very lovely :) :) :)
I must say, I have not so many pictures, only few and I think they are not so good than the others I make.
But see self. the next days and weeks I will post here some!
And at the week end I will take them on my webside!
Soo, we have the letter "L"
For that I found that at the beach L -> Love

Welcome back Marika, and thanks for the photos. I knew you would soon be back on here and posting.I have never been able to capture moonlight like you have done on the last two pictures, and I love the reflection on the sea.
Also, I think I saw some of your photos on the new Horizon website which is really excellent.

From the view of your photo Viv, you must have had the studio above us. We had the one below last year! So that's what it looked like from up there!
Brings back lovely memories. We loved it at the Bardis Sun. I see you have already booked for 2009.
Welcome back Marika, cant wait to see more photos.
Viv, keep em coming, i'm waiting until my photo matches a letter! lol.
Sharon xx
Thanks for the info viv, but I guess I`ll just have to go and recheck! Nice to see you back Marika.

Very clever Marika to spot that! :-)
Eggy, it's me on a good day at 6am wondering where the kettle is....

We took this photo from the Marina where we were having a long lazy sunday lunch. They are the local lads, they arrived on their little scooters and had a laugh at the end of the pier, What a lovely change to see that, from what you get over here.
The lady in the foreground had just got changed right there under a towel, flashing her bits! lol, the lads didnt bat an eyelid.

Great photographs, once again Marika and PaulC, especially the food and drink pics.
G seems to be missing though.
I am just making sure that my CF and SD cards are ready for next week and everything is backed up. We bought a Nintendo DS on Saturday and I have found out that you can use it for viewing photographs and Videos using something called a DSTT card. I just need to get the use of a PC while I am in Arillas.

hi graham
agree about the greek salad on the other post - but like you say I drink loads of Mythos and go on to have stamna and red wine afterwards....
The pictures here have to be hosted with a site like imageshack (www.imageshack.us) You have to register, activate the account via email, then you can upload the pics you want to post. It is quite easy to follow once you're registered. When you upload, select the image details (little icons shown by side of your pic - find the right one.)
You get to see the pic and a table of code for various things like webpage etc. Select DIRECT and highlight then Copy the code. Back in your post use the insert image button and paste the code between the img /img tags.
Hope this helps
Phil

Paul,
We sat in these seats!!
It's the Porto Timoni run by Kostas (Bardis?) and his wife, they are a lovely couple aren't they?
The views from the apartments upstairs must be just as fantastic...imagine waking up to that in the morning. :-)
Eileenx
Thanks Eileen,
Yes it is a fabulous view, we stopped for a snack there and were made really welcome. Couldn't wish for better.
Paul
Paul,
Keith and I went up one night for a meal, we enjoyed it so much we took the rest of our party up the following day for snacks. It's so inexpensive...can you imagine anywhere else in the world with a view like that and prices so cheap?!
Eileenx
We went there as well after walking up there... Mike had a big breakfast (he felt he deserved it after that walk)... they were so friendly and couldn't do enough for us... even laughing when I swapped seats about 3 times, they were too narrow (or was I too wide?)
I dont mind being the Butt of their humour!
Fabulous views... glad you put your photo on it brought back lovely memories thanks!

Hi Eileen, What a good job I just gave a cuddle and didn't use names when we were at Porto Timo in May. I thought Spiro had it, and Kostas had stayed at the other one.
All these years and they haven't told me I have had their names mixed up. LOL. Viv
LOL...Viv maybe it's me that's got them mixed up! (http://easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-confused-smileys-294.gif) (http://www.loostime.com/)
Eileenx
First person to go out next week has a mission that is to find out who owns which and to get photo's of them with their respective propertie's. Viv
Viv, I've just taken a look at the business card for the Porto Timoni and the email address is that of Kostas. Still, it would be nice to see photos of each of the restaurants with their respective owners. (http://easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-cool-smileys-855.gif) (http://www.cheapsealants.com/)

I cant believe they havent said anything, if somebody kept calling me by my brother's name I would have to say some thing, just shows how lovely they are. By the way the porto timoni special salad is fantastic and very cheap as you only need one between two and even then it is all you can do to finish it. Lol Viv

Eileen, Blondegirl and Vivian,
Looks like we will have to have Breakfast, Lunch and an Evening meal going by all your recommendations. Can't wait.
Paul
where abouts is this fantastic place?
i would like to add it to my list thanks.
Hi Sue,
The Porto Timoni restaurant is up in Afionas.
In the 'square' you will see a little Olive wood gift shop. On the wall at the side of the shop there is a sign with an arrow pointing to Dionysos Restaurant (http://www.dionysoscorfu.com/). Follow the arrow, but on reaching Dionysos walk around the back towards the car park and you will see the sign for the Porto Timoni Restaurant.
It's well worth a visit.

Pete and I went 3 times in May and even with that walk it was well worth it.
The only thing is to stop at the Owl on the way there and back to get a drink. This isn't an excuse for a drink you need it. Lol. Viv

I think you too deserve it too. You both do brilliant with all that walking you do.

Hi
Yes folks it means going twice to eat or drink at these delightful places, which are a MUST for anyone visiting this area !
To help with sorting the 2 out here are photos of the 2 owners:
This is Spiros owner of the Dionysos Restaurant (the 1st one you reach) but you will often be served by his son Vasilis.
(http://www.agiosgeorgios.co.uk/images/spiros.jpg) (http://www.agiosgeorgios.co.uk/images/dionysos235.jpg)
and this is his brother Kostas the owner of the newer Porto Timoni Cafe (the one at the back)

I remember spending a lot of time in the baby pool at the Galini.Poor Hannah couldn't get in.
I know Lisa, it was a bit short on space for you, me and Evie!
Looking forward to using the pool at Bardis Sun Hotel as it has a shallow end too doesnt it... the one at the BS Studios shelved a bit too steeply for me so I was a bit out of my depth most of the time.
Lynn
That must have been on Wednesday 14th Mayafter the Tuesday night downpoor
must admit it was a tad wet that night
Yes, I think it probably was then, John. Good job the weather soon changed back again!

Cheers, Mick.

Where was that taken Graham?
That one was at Villa Mary in Aghios Gordios in 2006.
It looks fantastic Graham, were you staying there?
Eileenx
Yes, I stayed there, yes it was beautiful but by god there was a hell of a walk up the hill to it from the restraunts and tavernas in the evening!
it that you daughter hollie
shes very cute
I have three beautiful daughters Sue, what a lucky, but inevitably poor man, the oldest two live with thier mum and the youngest is with me and my wife! Sometimes they all come with us, sometimes it's just laurie (the youngest), just Laurie this time.
I thought it looked familiar Graham. We stayed in the red roof studios (Villa Mary studios) just to the right of your photo right on the beach. We were told we could use the pool at Villa Mary but it was too much of a climb and there was no shortcut that we could see through the trees and bushes, that was at the back of the Pink Palace Hostel.
We loved it there, we could almost fall off our balcony and we were on the beach. We felt totally cut off down there, it was so quiet and relaxing. We walked one night to the big restaurant near the Villa Mary for a Greek night and drinks... it was much easier coming down, that hill is a killer!
Totally beautiful area though and was a good introduction to our first Corfu holiday which was end Aug/September 2005.

Taken at San Stef, who recognises the red van?
Yes its Tomas from vavilas and that's his boat just coming in.
Do you know what? I never knew there was a harbour in San Stef. We always carry on down the road towards the beach and the shops... Now that is somewhere we must walk to... Do you just turn left and follow the road once you are down the cliff walk?
BG
Yes that's more or less correct, just follow the road down the hill.
Paul
I am even more keen now to do that walk again! Somewhere we havent been yet is brilliant - something to look forward to and new photos to take!!! thanks!
I am not going to let Mike know and surprise him... there are a few things I havent let on about what has been going on in Arillas so he will have some surprises i.e. the new pools and the new Bar (Marias old shop)... by the way does anyone have a photo of that?
LOL BG, yes you just follow the road down to it. There is a little hut selling ice creams and ouzo! Facing the boats is a cove, the sea is so clear,loads of crabs. Even he remembered us last year.

Did you know that there used to be a footpath from the cliff footpath right down to the harbour, as a matter of fact its still there but so over grown that when Pete and I tried it to get back to Arillas a couple of years ago we were scacted to pieces at only a couple of yards in.
Dimitris had taken us out and dropped us of at the harbour to walk back (we thought we were being clever) anyway when we got back we told him about our adventure and he said that when he got time he would try and find out how to go about getting it cleared as it used to be a really good walk. I wonder Dimitris did you ever manage to find out or with you being such a busy man did it just go out of your mind as it did ours untell now. lol Viv
Negg! Just managed to start typing am laughin so much! hahahahaha, the crab even tried to shake our hands, lol.
Viv, no you know us we take a car everywhere!
Negg thank you for that monday morning belly laugh, just what I needed.

You are sooo right Terry... looking at your airport photos and seeing the haziness from
the heat made me go all wobbly inside... really exciting to get off that plane and feel the heat, all the familiar smells of Corfu.... my sunglasses come out, cardi off and I am away!
Only 6 weeks to go now!
I second that Blonde Girl!
Your pictures really capture that first sensation of getting off the plane & overwhelming excitement of being back in Corfu - especially the one leading up to the Arival hall - by that point I'm busrting to get through!
It's funny that a few simple photgraphs can be so evocative - thank you Terry for sharing with us - they are really very good indeed.

Thank you Terry!
Brilliant pictures Terry. I always forget to take some when i am at the airport.

Charly is indeed a lovely dog. He was found in a box, left in the road. He`s a happy chappie though, and bumbles along. He can be seen late afternoon, gathering all his friends, and then mooching about.

(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/thalassa2.jpg)
Very nice Terry - where is everybody!
I was thinking that... 8.20 p.m. you would think there would be somebody there already
Sadly, apart from Sundays when the local population have a day out at the seaside and they were heaving, Thalassa was often too quiet. But so was Tomas at Vavilas. It speaks volumes when the locals from all over Corfu choose them in front of all the others in Arillas and many told us so that night.
They have been slammed on the forum but it is not very fair. Without Spiros they would have been closed altogether this season. Many of us would have hated that. And we also ate some very good food and had very good service. But I do realise that this is because we are good friends of theirs
I understand that Yannis is an impossible act to follow, and truly wish he and Litsa were still there, but Spiros has made Thalassa possible this year, and with Steve and Adela has made quite a go of it. We are eternally grateful for that.

I thought I had seen it last year Lisa. It stopped at the Marina hotel and they helped a gentleman out of the car, who needed a wheel chair, and he went and sat at a table. In fact, the same man seemed to be sitting there most days.

Good job you got that photo mick, they've taken that vehicle away now, and painted PRIVAT in large letters on the wall beside the path.(probably cos people live on the heritage walk now.)lol
I wanted to take that machine and do a complete rebuild but Mary would not let me leave everything behind, ;-), it would keep me out from under her feet for a while, especially now. See you in Arillas, Mick.
I'm glad you had that Z Mick, so that we can get back to A.
I love different pictures like that Lorry, and the rain photo has made me realise that I have never seen it rain in Arillas. I have only been twice though.
Terry, in early May and October you can get some fantastic storms, especially out at sea. I just love them and I cannot understand people running to get under shelter when they are as wet as they can get, you might as well just have a swim as you are. :-) Mick
Hear Hear Mick. They can be more enjoyable than the standard pool/beach thingy. Have never run for cover and never will...

"please ignore any twins" what's that all about then?
Amanda
Quote"please ignore any twins"
Amanda,
I was trying to do a wide panorama by "stitching" photos together, and I was hoping that the picture would have been larger so more detail could be seen. If more detail could have been seen, you would have seen people twice. This is because when you move the camera for the sequence of photos people have moved, and you can see them in a different position on subsequent shots, so they look like twins.
I wondered about that too, Terry! Thanks for clearing that one up.
I have saved your very wide pic to my favourites - it's very good, and as Eric Morcambe would have said - you can't see the joins!
Cheers,
Lynn x

Thanks Terry!
There is a story with this next one. We were down at The Mirage and I was walking back from the loo, when I spotted this dude at the side of the pool, thinking it was dead I picked it up, only for it to start twitching in my hand. I quickly rushed back over to Cheryl & James with it still in my hand so I could single handedly get my camera out & turned on & set to macro etc before placing it on the grass. I was just about to take the shot where it jumped and landed on James's flip flop whilst still on his foot, Cheryl jumped & James kicked his flip flop off & it then landed near Cheryl! I wasn't flavour of the week for a few minutes but and the sunbathers behind did see the funny side. Got the shot though.........
G is for Grasshopper

That's fantastic Timbo. You have caught Arillas lowlife without Phil and Jen being involved. Takes quite a talent to do that.
They all think we are lovely so they tell us but they are making it up. I really identify with that startled frog...
The frog pic is really special. He sort of says to me "don't you think you should have had one less??" Could have been my dad...
Well done
Phil
Terry love the food photos, i'm drooling. Timbo, brilliant photos of the frog and grasshopper, and I dont think I would have been too impressed either if it had landed anywhere near me!
We heard the frogs in the little "stream" in may walking back to mathraki. They were so loud, doing their courting!

As for beans you can spill all you want to. We will be too involved to notice. We both just loved the pic.

Phil how have you worked that out when I haven't even met you and justjen yet?...lol
Can anyone advise (Phil) which restaurants produce their own wine please? I had a lovely half caraffe at Vavillas a few years back and am keen to try some more.
Many thanks
We had some nice wine there as I remember too... recommend it!
If you like red wine, go for Thalassa's house red. Yannis gave us a 1.5 litre bottle to take home in 2002 (yes - we had spent most of the two weeks there and it was a goodbye gift. Little did he know we'd be back....)
It was amazingly mellow and good to drink. And it was just the same this July served by Spiros about 2 weeks ago. We were just too "tired and emotional" to finish it as holiday report says.
Amourada (at the corner - Vasillis Supermarket and the very pretty taverna opposite which is his) invited us to try their homemade wine last October. It was brilliant. And they are a wonderful family like all we have met in Arillas.

Regarding ARILLAS GIRLS PIC.
i DONT know who is who ha ha ha :) :)

Lol.
LOL I didnt know it would cause this much intrest seeing this photo again as it is already in the picture of the day archives.
A great thing to revisit if you havent looked at it for a while. A few of Sandy and I and a few other forum members but im not going to say which one's go with which date as the wholething was started by Dimitris so that family members and friends could see their loved one's, and look what it turned into every body looks forward to seeing every picture of the day. I bet Dimitris didn't think when it all started what a great idea he had. LOL Viv
Hi Sandy, viv and all the girls
Sad as we are, we recognised the photo from last time. We had sussed most of who was who then. We can't remember how though - probably alcoholic intuition....

Pete has just said it was 2005, I have a few more of our silly poses do you want me to send you them. It's really tickering me looking at them I look so different now.lol. Viv

Hey Timbo,
Just love your Dragonfly picture - you've got some serious talent!
:-)
Thanks, Viv & BeckyB, for every photo shown on here there are about 20 others that don't make it, but that's the way it goes when trying to snap wildlife I find, all worth it though when you get just one decent picture. :-)
I don't think you would see a better photo of a dragonfly anywhere. You should enter some competitions Timbo.
Just to add our words of admiration, Timbo. We both stared at if for ages. A fantastic picture. They use stuff like this in the Countryfile Calendar competition on BBC. You should think about entering.
All the very best
Phil and Jen
Whoops. Definitely a peroxide moment!! Oh well, nice to see that you are all paying attention!!

I`d love to know some more re Brouklis, history etc.
There are some very interesting photographs in Brouklis and it would be nice to see them on the forum. Perhaps Dimitris could give us a bit of a history lesson about them.
I would love to hear Dimitris playing the Bouzouki Viv, and Bebis could accompany him using the small one.

Another great picture.
We have never eaten there either yet.... but I can eat seafood anytime and in any amount... that looks gorgeous! Looks like we have missed some amazing seafood! We cant miss that this time!

So I didn't break an order, did I? Ufff :) I'm glad :). I will try to help you with letters you don't have idea :).

Jozef, some people including me have been known to cheat a little bit with either their spelling or adding an extra bit of information to the start of their photos. (http://easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-indifferent-smileys-437.gif) (http://easyfreesmileys.com/) . keep them photos coming. Mick

I cant claim to take all the photos though... Mike does most of it - I dowloaded his photos too - only he doesnt know that!
At least it's not our bench phil....are we going to share? I'll certainly keep it warm next week....
I don't care whos bench it is i wish i was on it right now. :)

Might be getting a tad chilly by this time of year....8.40pm....but what the heck.....yes, I'd be on that bench right now if I could.
reserve me a place sandy ,and ill nip to marina for the ouzo,s...........yammas
Yammas kevin.....good idea!
I needn't say how much I wish I was sat on it right now - even at 1am. I did just that one night last month, accompanied by Lara and Cookie - Alga's dogs. So peaceful all on our own....

Fantastic photos BG.
The night scenes really give a feeling of peace and tranquility. Keep them coming because we need to get through the autumn and winter and the photos really help.

Oops sorry! didnt know we were still doing A-Z.... got lost in the excitement of being able to get my piccies on!
Those kittens were so cute... they kept jumping up on your lap at the table... well it didnt help that we were giving them bits of sardine did it!
I had no inclination to take one home though... we already have an elderly mangy old cat and dont need another one for the next 18 yrs. (I do like cats really but the one we have now isnt very friendly).
Night time in Arillas !
This is my first attempt at night time photography a la "Marika" !

I love your photos, far better than mine, who cares if Mike took most of them , you did the uploading and sorted them
Take Care
Mary
Thanks Mary... no skill on our part though I think..camera does it all, with the digitals they come all singing and dancing.. My daughter is the real qualified photographer in the family - she hasnt seen our photos yet !!
I love all the photos everybody, keep them coming, I sadly do not seem to own a camera so will not be joining you in posting any, perhaps will get myself one for next year.
Sue did you eat all that!!!!
Great photo's that sea bream looks lovely. If still open next week we will have one. Viv
Mmmmmm that Sea Bream looks delicious. I wish computers could transmit aromas.
Great Photos Sue, keep them coming.
We had sea bream several times last month, but not at Efi's sadly. Will put that right next time. But by the look of it I'll ask for a child's portion.....
Thomas at Vavilas always serves it and it is absolutely delicious there. But my best one was at Thalassa - perfectly cooked and full of flavours mmmmmmmmm......

Superb Fish
Phil
You bet your life I ate it all..... Mike had most of the chips though..
Have you had skordalia... its mashed creamy potato loads and loads of garlic in it.. it is served cold but it has a really strong spicy bite because of the garlic... very nice with the bread or as a dip and Efi's mum makes it there and then.
Now we are on the subject of food...
The other thing that I found funny was that at the Amourada they did "Hot cheese dip".. so I thought I would give that a go... thought it would be heat hot... they meant spicy hot! (well they knew what they meant).
Another time in Zante we had "fresh tuna"... I thought it would be a tuna steak... but it came out completely round from the tin (not broken up), complete with oil from the tin and one single olive on it.. Well I know it was fresh, but didnt expect it from the tin like that. Now we know what to expect... anything!
Has anyone else had dishes from the menus turn up in unusual ways?
Now we're off thread (though it was prompted by that amazing pic of sea bream BG.....) I adore skordalia. Something with enough garlic in at last!
Phil
Unbelievable !
Susan at the Horizon waiting for a chance to eat her "Flaming sausage" !
This is how it was described in the menu.
It was one of those moments when everyone in the place stares as the waiter brought it over with 2 foot flames coming off it !

Hi Mary. It is between Makris and Vavilas restaurant. From the sea front walk round past Bardis Sun and onwards past Vavilas and you will find it. From where we stayed it was the nearest place to go.

What a fabulous picture Paul. You have captured the whole spirit of the Rainbow in one shot. It is such a great place to have FUN.
Thanks for posting it
Phil
aw paul c, you HAVE to tell us the story regarding the helmets, PLEASE, jinksy
Perhaps they are about to head into Corfu town hence the skid lids ;-)
Or maybe Eggys got the darts in hand. haha lol. Sorry matey.
riggers.....
always said those two were headbangers, so maybe they were gonne go loopy again, jinksy
Of course they were jinsky!
Spilling all the beans, Jimmy and Spiros always wore protective clothing when Eggy was up at the oche. PaulC missed the full face masks and armour suits they wore on our afternoons watching the darts....
HelsBels and Keith took the risk and stayed near the dartboard. So did Kev and Bev. But Jen and Phil sat well back and drank the doubles (see Eggy's earlier posts on Arillas Today) whenever we got our heads out from under the table trying to avoid the arrows flying in all directions.
501?????? More like "five go mad in the rainbow." Apologies to Enid Blyton....
Phil
I don't know about the darts Phil, but the night I took the pic there was an attack of low flying beer mats coming from all directions. As you know the rainbow bar is sort of circular and Jimmy and Spiros were caught in the crossfire.

Kev and Bev,
Simply love your photos, thanks for sharing them.
Love to all,

Viv, we had the packed lunch from Artemis, we took it out on the boat with us. You choose what you want in it. We had two baguettes with ham salad and ham and cheese. Crisps, coleslaw and big bottle of water. It is packed into a cooler bag and it cost 9 Euros. We dropped the bag off later on.
We thought it was worth it, it kept the sandwiches nice and fresh for when we wanted them.

Great pictures Kev and Bev but did you have to put that one on with me on it again. :)
cheers.

Hi all,
I've put the photo on twice because I like the way all 3 of us dancing ha ha!! Or perhaps it was a mistake - I might have put the wrong one on??

It should have been this one - the wine festival.

I found this brilliant site.
www.bagsoflove.co.uk/calendars/free-personalised-photo-calendar
you can download your photos of Arillas and put them on a calender... free!!
Comes through on email and you can print off as many as you like for family and friends.
Great idea!
Looks great, Sue!
Thanks for sharing this.

Kevin thats a 10 from me as well, lol.
Mary, Billy did nothing but moan about his frozen shoulder before we went to Arillas, it is still unfrozen! He has been working an an extension and hasnt had a twinge. Best thing was it was free! lol.
Aw Barry, you just made me homesick!
Sharon xx
Hi Sharon
Wow Kostas must be good I wish I'd known he did that while I was there or I would have asked for a back massage, I hurt my back on my stepper months ago and it still locks up now and again.
Here's to many happy hols
love
Mary
Hi Phil,
Glad the old legs are o.k. Yes we are both well, missing Arillas, looking at next year. Di was in Clarks Village the other week end. Hope You and Jen are fine, did hear of a liver in Corfu harbour with a bouy attached because it was a hazard to local shipping.
I need to cheer myself up because some of the people where I work have had to go on short time, and two have been made redundant . So......

Great pics terry! I'm guessing that was the supermarket in Kavvadades....
wishes come true terry..........yammas
Terry,
I meant to post something sooner today about your glorious pictures. What an eye you have! And you always take such imaginative shots - but not only that, the pictures you take always transport you back & really conjure up Corfu - well done you Terry & thank you so much for sharing them with us - they're cracking!
BeckyB :-)
Great photos Terry.. just the pick me up I needed!
K for Knockdown prices ( what a cheat to use this for K just because I wanted to show the Supermarket at Sidari).
This is where the other pic was taken. I must be sad, but I find the shopping expeditions quite exciting. Its interesting to see the different ranges of goods that are stocked and this supermarket has a large range.

I know what you mean Terry.. I love the big supermarkets... even the household goods seem fun...I love the tiny saucepans for coffee and the plastic froth makers, plastic table cloths...it just looks more fun and quirky than the UK. Then there's the food... It always amazes me that you can buy all the brands and I love the greek labels, buying it and getting home and dont know how to use it because you cant understand the directions!
Come on Terry, Im sure you can get through to Z dont stop now we are enjoying seeing your pics to much. Viv
I Don't think I have enough to get Z Viv, but I will try.
N for Neat little sign.
I am sure that many people went passed this sign on walks around the village.

Oh wow! Been up the pub for 2 hours with Randy and Vix, and all of these stunning pictures appear on the forum. Have been on and off the forum all day and now have so much to see.
Clouds, Beautiful, Akti Pool and Gravia are wonderful examples of how Marika can capture what we all miss as we walk by. You all need to visit her website
www.marika75.webs.com (http://www.marika75.webs.com) to see the talent of our forum photographer. But we also have Mark whose work was showcased in Ammos all summer and who is also a major talent. Tried for ages to find a web address for him too, but failed. Maybe he can post it here.
I have so enjoyed your photos Terry. Perceptive of the sights in Arillas, like that window pic. Perhaps it is Jen and my Glastonbury lifestyle that we see all the sights but remember the people. We never seem to record the place, only the people. Will post lots on p for people...
Phil
Terry, Mick and Marika fantastic photos.

Hi Marika luvver
I stared at your take on the Royal Ionian beer pump for ages, working out how the sun could reflect like that... Then I realised it is a picture for our lovely erja. Oh dear, we so miss you both.........
love
Phil
Like wise Phil, i miss them both too. I also miss the Royal I.
Wow Marika, youve done it again. I know when you have been to a special place you have special memories but you make extra special photo's as well. Sorry I missed you by acouple of hrs. Love Viv
Thanks for helping me out with the photographs Marika and Mick. I was trying to get to Z as Viv had suggested but I was struggling a bit.
Micks photos are really good but I have to say that Marika has gone to another level of photography with her latest photos. They are amazing and her eye for artistic interpretation of scenes and objects must be a natural gift to her.
You are a Star Marika x
More beautiful pictures Marika mou.....and I love your new profile photo...xx
Again I have no words!
You are all soooo lovely :-)
Thank you Phil, riggers, Viv, Terry and Sandy for the lovely words :-)

That would be good riggers. Where`s the old bike he had?
Such a character. Another part of our Arillas... the haircut was very sepcial!

riggers....
Love the water kes. You could have been David Hockney. Bet you'd like his millions.........
And Marika, we look at the tree all day, on our living room wall. It's nearly as beautiful as you are.
Lovely to meet you
Phil
Ha Ha...Millions No....just enough to let me spend a few extra weeks each year in Arillas....
Kes , don't know if you're camera settings set up is the same as mine but if you have a "Scene" setting put in on "starry sky" setting and then you should have a choice of shutter speeds....."15secs" "30secs" and "90secs".
If you select one of these settings you can take night pictures (without flash) and with practice the results are pretty good ( ala Marika ).
I took some in the dark and they come out like it's in daylight.
Happy snapping !
Sorry Kes forgot to mention....if you're taking night shots on the slow shutter speeds use a tripod or put the camera on something steady.
Night shot ......no flash.

Thanks Marika.
The table thing is the box in the boat hire stand.
I didn't have a tripod so I sat it on there.
Barry...yes i have seen the setting for starry night ..not tried it yet ,That shot of yours is
Brilliant.... as is Marika`s
You certainly know how to use that little camera of yours Marika.. a lovely night shot.
Nice photo too Barry, keep it up you are doing well.
Baldy Barry & Marika,
I'm LOVING those night shots - they're gorgeous. Oh boy, how wish my camera hadn't pegged it when we were there a few weeks ago - at least I can console myself with all these terrific shots.
Well done to both & thank you :-)

Barry is that using the starry night setting?...its still a v good pic...I cant beleive I was in Arillas for a week and never tried that setting...Being brain dead I thought it was for taking pictures of the sky......!!!! honest now don`t laaugh
Love that picture, Barry, including the white lines - maybe just adds a bit of authenticity.........if you know what I mean!
Lynn xx
Yes it's "starry night" setting Kes.
I can't claim to be a camera expert and I only found this setting by mistake as I blundered through all the settings to see what they did.
Must admit that after a couple of minutes reading the manual that I start to glaze over so I usually mess around with gadgets till I suss them out.
Thanks for the comments Lynn !
Isn't that what all those "settings" and "buttons" are for? Or have I got it wrong all these years? All that paperwork which goes straight into the recycling actually means something? No. Agree with Barry -
QuoteI usually mess around with gadgets till I suss them out.
But then I can never take pictures as beautiful as Marika's...
Phil
If i try to mess about with gadget, i would end up recycling my camera.

Breathtaking! The sea is so still, the light is so bright - what a fabulous view from the jetty. It took me there in my mind...
Well done kes.
Must admit that week in October the weather was tops....In all the years we have been to Arillas I have never known it so calm...
Do you have t rub it in that when we were at the airport the weather was perfect, mind you we had a lovely week and I mut agree that it was one of the best octobers we have had. Viv
amazing photo Kes. I dont think I have ever seen it that still..
I wanted to add my penny's worth regarding your piccie Kes.
It's a wonderful picture - it really is.

Paul - the photo of the torpedo in the square at Magoulades brings back memories of sitting nearby watching the traffic threading its´way through the village
It's a cracking picture isn't it?
I was trying madly to remember the name of the village as I know we've passed it on several occasions - thanks Geoffrey :-)
PS: I take it there's no sort of charge/explosives left in it anymore?!
BeckyB :-)
Magoulades. Torpedo. Arillas. Paleokastritsa. Agios Stefanos. Acharavi. Roda. Sidari. Kavaddades. Afionas. Just bring it all on. My Corfu...
Phil
QuotePS: I take it there's no sort of charge/explosives left in it anymore?!
BeckyB
Maybe that´s why the big house at the back of the square is for sale!
Is that so Geoffrey? If that's right, you can kind of see why can't you :-)
I'm not all sure how comfy I'd feel living opposite a muckle torpedo! :-)
QuoteIs that so Geoffrey? If that's right, you can kind of see why can't you
Yes Becky, see what you mean, but I know the English lady-owner, and resident in the house, and that´s not the reason for the sale. Beautiful house, totally renovated, used to be the doctor´s house complete with apothecary in the yard. If I win the lottery that´s where I´ll be living in future. Very handy for daily walks to Arillas and beautiful views.
There is another torpedo, in armenades i think. It's lying at the side of the road. Doesn't look in such good condition as the on at magoulades. I've often wondered why it's there, it's not the type of thing you would just leave lying around is it?
I think it would be a wonderful place to live Geoffrey , I can quite see why you would want to live in such a glorious spot.
What an interesting history the house seems to have :-)
Thanks for posting the Torpedo pic, Paul.
I have always wanted to take a photo of it myself, but I have never found a safe place to park. I always seem to get a very unsure driver in front of me and a very impatient driver behind me when I go through the village.
Terry,
I sneaked up there on a scooter.

Wunderbar !!
Marika,
Stunning shots! I try more technical shots with my camera but never achieve results like yours. Do you use a tripod for these?
Martin.
"Wunderbar" -> "Danke" Barry :-)
And "Thank you" Sharon and Martin :-)
Martin, for these photos I didn't use a tripod, free hand :-)
Only for night shots I use one! :-)
Marika x x x
You have a fantastic natural talent Marika. I really hope that one day you can have a successful career in photography.
There are too many photographs published these days, that have been "manipulated" by software. Your photos are just natural, as seen by the camera. Great artistry.
Thank you Terry for your beautiful words and I hope also,
that one day my day is coming :-)
But it is not easy! We will see, what happened in the future :-)

thanks Sandyx

thanks phil - memories get better every year - every visit - your turn soon! have fun!
Great photos. And Ideas for places to go for a drink next year.
I love all of them 4x4 - Rainbow, Malibu, Kaloudis, Mirage, Gravia and Ammos. Gravia is the only one off the route for a really good "taverna hop" (pub crawl in my lingo.)
Mind you, one of those cocktails in every venue and even I would be hopping....
Thanks for the posts Geoffrey
lol
Phil
Very nice photos Geoffrey :-)

Well 'C' is for CORFU of course - but thought that a pic of the usual Liston Cafes is a bit over-used. So, will this do for 'C' :-

Now this thread has been revived I think we are on the letter D, so here is my contribution - a photgraph taken in 2007 in Arillas.
PJ
Nearly a year since the last post on this topic, so I thought I would revive it so that newcomers and guests can see what a great place Arillas is.
A quick reminder of the idea behind this topic :-
Quote from: TerryW on August 08, 2007, 01:15:09 PM
This is a Photograph A to Z of our ( the forum members) holiday memories. There are no rules to this except people post one photo at a time with the next letter in the alphabet. This could be a placename, taverna, natural feature, animal etc etc - use your imagination. I wonder how many times we can go through the alphabet?
And since the last post by patrick was "D" then :-
"
E" is for "
Evening on Arillas Beach"
(http://www.geoff-and-sue.freehighway.net/images/539d.jpg)
F is for Finished! (Could be Favourite, and maybe G as well, since it WAS Galactoboureko at Brouklis.)
(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/547/w99b.jpg)
Phil
G is for Galactoboureko
(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/409/galactobourekosml.jpg)

H is for Happiness at The Horizon - sipping on your favourite drink whilst watching the sunset from the upper deck of the Horizon Hotel Bar. :-)

A difficult letter I, but I think I've solved it with my photograph on the beach opposite Ina's minimarket. This is her boat - you can see her name on the bow!

I'm getting a bit stuck as well Patrick.
How about "J" is for Just a bit stormy over Mathraki ??

Made me chuckle - he will kill me!!!!!
Well there is no problem with the next letter as I always have trouble getting on the Lilo at the Splish Splash pool at the Kaloudis Holiday Village:-

And there is no problem with the next letter either Patrick - "M" -- It just has to be Mythos
Cheating a bit here as I think I have posted this picture before, but I think it's worth another look!

N is for Nikos, N is for Noufris
(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/828/nnandphilsmal.jpg)
Both are cornerstones of most visitors' stay in Arillas with Akrotiri and Brouklis two of the essential places to go.
Phil
Nice ones Phil & Geoff - hope a few more forum friends will start posting again with their photographs. Meanwhile have had more trouble finding an O, but have settled on a view of the Splish Splash pool which Julia, my dear wife, took framed by the leaves of one of the olive trees which give welcome shade at the shallow end of the pool.

Y anyone? I have Z sorted! xx
Without doubt, Y is for YIOTA!
(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/46/iyy6.jpg)
Yiota is probably the connection that all Arillas visitors have, wherever they come from. She is universally loved by us all.

Back to 22nd September 2009 when we were at St Spiridon Bay on the North Coast of Corfu. We heard a bell ringing and thought it must be the monastery nearby, but then a herd of goats came into view and the billy goat was wearing a large bell round his neck. The photo is of NUMEROUS NANNY goats.

Oh dear Jo
I am disqualifying you for not conforming ha ha - see why below!
QuoteLets spice it up a little.......
Two references to the letter ie absolutely amazing, basically brilliant etc you get the picture - no pun intended - well ok maybe...........
And as the next letter is t - tut tut!!!!!!!!!!!
Bells lol xx
Well I'm confused now Bella.
If Jo is disqualified then shouldn't the next letter be "O" again??
Or are we moving on to "T" on the grounds that Jo's pictures were really great so we can overlook the lack of alliteration?
In which case it must be T for Terrific Tree - the "new" Olive Tree at the Horizon.
(http://www.geoff-and-sue.freehighway.net/images/HorizonOliveTree_sm.jpg)
Since we now agree that we need two of the relevant letter and have moved onto U here are a couple of pictures entitled:

Now the letter X usually causes problems. However Terry W solved it the first time round with his word xenodocheionology (study or love of hotels). Now the last thing I think I am is xenophobic (having abnormal fear or hatred of the strange or foreign), so just to get this letter sorted here is a picture of me confirming my love of hotels and my love of foreign, especially Greek, places.

Dear Sonia
To put pictures on here you first need to have a collection of photos on one of the photo sharing sites. Examples are Flickr and Photobucket, but there are many more.
Once your photo is on one of them they offer you the chance to copy a code which you paste in your posting on the forum. Usually they offer several types of code for different things like blogsites, forums etc.
I used Flickr for my last photo and the code known as BBC (I think it means bulletin board code).
Its a bit finicky but does work - so suggest you have a try and see how you get on. Am sure we'd all love to see some of your photos.
If you click on the legend under my photo it will take you to Flickr and you can see hundreds of my Arillas photos!
Best wishes
Pat
Thanks Pat. I will have a go. I got a far recently as setting up photo bucket so just got to figure out the next step.
Letter H is next so shall we call this one HIRED Car -
its the little white Atos I hired in Arillas for two weeks which allowed us to visit many of our favourite spots in the north of Corfu during September this year.(https://c8.staticflickr.com/9/8756/29412637383_7642a58912_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/LP6snD)

This is the north beach Arillas and I call it IN BLOOM referring to the lovely yellow broom on the Cliffside.
I got this pic from Photobucket following these instructions:
Go to Photobucket;
Select the photo you wish to put on the forum;
To the right of the photo you will see SHARE THIS PHOTO and underneath it 4 options:
For the Arillas Forum select IMG by clicking on IMG and the box beside it will turn yellow and say copied;
Go to the forum and start a post and then use CTRL + V to paste your code into the entry.
You then write your message before the code or after the code.
Hope this helps Sonia (and anyone else hoping to post some photos)
Pat
Thanks Pat. Been trying to do it from photo bucket app as my photos are on my tablet. It gives various options when you click share . These are options like Facebook and TripAdvisor. There is an option copy to clipboard. I have done that and then copied it but it comes up with (IMG)(IMG). Do you know what to do then?

Sorry it was Neil who took the photo not Andy. Sorry Neil and thanks again for taking it.
Neil aka Donpipez.
Well done Sonia. Some super photos. I like the jetty one which is from an unusual angle. Don't know if you contributed to getting the bench put up, but am very chuffed that we forum members got it put up. Didn't get to sit on it this year as it was always occupied - its good that its so very popular. Hope they put it away for safe keeping over the winter before any more storms take their toll.

Pat - Mathraki is beautiful but not a lot there. It was very hot when we went, too hot for the beach really even with a sun umbrella. There is a taverna at the bottom and also one further up the island. If you like walking and its not too hot then there are a few things to see but not much. Glad we went to see it though. We didn't see any naturists on the beach thankfully and in fact there were only 3 other people on it which was a couple and their son that we came over on the boat with and got chatting to them and then bumped into them a few times back in Arillas as they were staying at Kaloudis. It is worth a trip but I would go on a day that is not very hot and be content to just have a stroll and chill out on the beach.

Kevin - The wedding looks to me like it is at the Marina Hotel. We were there for a baptism party and a similar table arrangement was in place for 50 guests - great fun watching all the generations, some in their best outfits and some distinctly casually dressed.
I think we must be up to the letter 'B' now, so there can only be one candidate for that:

Hi all
It is good doing this you see other peoples photos

Or just radium
Kevin
Ps your photos are good Sonia
Dimitris, I hope it is ok to start this "topic" and could you make it a "Sticky please?
This is a Photograph A to Z of our ( the forum members) holiday memories. There are no rules to this except people post one photo at a time with the next letter in the alphabet. This could be a placename, taverna, natural feature, animal etc etc - use your imagination. I wonder how many times we can go through the alphabet?
Kevin - Quote above from Terry who kindly started the thread. Sorry, I have been posting more than one photo at a time. I got so carried away now I know how to do it. Lol.
So we are on one photo per person at a time and in alphabetical order. I think we are now on C - on your marks, go!
Sonia post as many as you want thay are good to look at
Keep posting

Hi All
C FOR CACTUS
Prickly pear cactus has been a staple of the Mexican and Central American diet for thousands of years. In parts of the U.S. it has been gaining popularity as an exotic, gourmet and healthy addition to one's diet. The prickly pear plant has three different edible sections: the pad of the cactus (nopal), which can be treated like a vegetable, the petals of the flowers, which can be added to salads, and the pear (tuna), which can be treated like a fruit. They grow wild throughout the American southwest, down to South America and up to Canada. The ones you may find at a local store or farmers market will surely originate from a commercial nopal farm.

Hi All
P FOR PONTIAN LYRA In the Brouklis near the toilers on the wall
The LYRA of the Greeks of Pontos (Black Sea region of Asia Minor) is also known as the "Kementche". It is the main instrument used in Pontian music. It is a bottle-shaped, 3-stringed fiddle played in the upright position. It is sometimes played by resting it on the knee when sitting, and sometimes it is held out in front.
Its small light weight design allows it to be held up for a long time and in some cases the musician would follow the first dancer around (even dance as well). This is mainly due to the Not so loud sound of the lyra.
The lyra usually has three strings which have several tunings. Common tunings include: a-a-d, e-a-d, and many others in 4ths (the strings are of 2 octaves ... La, Mi, Ci). Since the instrument was often played alone, the tuning was often done according to the preference of the musician and his voice's range.
The musicians usually play two or all three strings at the same time, utilizing the open string(s) as a sort of drone to the melody. Sometimes they play the melody on two strings at once, giving a primitive harmony in fourths. They tend to play with many trills and embellishments, and with the unusual harmonies.

V FOR VIDOS PRISON
(http://i.imgur.com/vJPNf5x.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/nqdpNsm.jpg)
The small, wooded isle of Vidos lies just half a mile from Corfu Town's Old Port, allowing you to glimpse the
historical buildings of the Old Town and St. Spiridon's church, framed by pine trees and clear blue sea. Known in ancient times as the Island of Hera, sister of Zeus and goddess of marriage, the seemingly tranquil paradise of Vidos has lived through much history. Under Venetian rule, which dominated Corfu Greece from the 15th century to the early 18th century, tunnels were built linking Vidos with the main island. Criminals were tried at the Old Fortress in Corfu Town, and then transported through the tunnels to Vidos island , which was once Corfu's 'Alcatraz'
The isolated remains of the prison and its solitary confinement area can still be found today. Vidosisland had
always been a strategic point in Corfu's defences, and following the departure of the Venetians, Vidos island was fortified under French governance. Vidos also gained its name from the French. The last foreign power in Corfu was the British, who turned Vidos into an almost impenetrable fortress, before destroying their own and all the previous fortifications on their departure. They also demolished the church of Agios Stefanos, which had been built by the
Saints Jason and Sosipatros. A final chapter in Vidos' island history came during the First World War.
By following forest paths, you can discover the haunting Serbian Mausoleum, monument to some 1,232 Serbian soldiers who lost their lives to plague and starvation while defending Corfu's freedom. Inside, all of the soldiers are commemorated and offerings of flowers and candles are strewn amongst the photographs and memories.
A memorial book is also provided for those who wish to add their gratitude and thoughts. Today, the island of Vidos is a more peaceful escape, and a favourite amongst Greeks and tourists alike. The pine-strewn paths lead you through the island's history, but also to its present beauty. Stunning, secluded beaches and quiet forest spots can be found, as well as a sole taverna at which you can enjoy the traditional food and spectacular view across the sea to Corfu Town.
Another point of interest is a beautiful old house, which was used in the filming of 'Fedora', a 1970s film set in
Corfu and starring Michael York. Vidos also accommodates the Kerkyra Bird and Wildlife sanctuary, and you will come across the wild rabbits, pheasants and goats who call Vidos home as you explore Corfu island.
Many resorts on the East coast of Corfu offer organised excursions to Vidos island , but it is also possible to visit the
island using a regular boat service from Corfu Town's (Kerkyra)Old Port
I would love to go down in to the tunnels
kevin
Thanks Kev-bev for that wonderful posting. I was completely unaware of Vidos and it intriguing history so, not for the first time, have learned something new.

I think actually its 'V' so shall have a scout round for a 'V' suitable pic. I think the torpedo is at Magaloudes. I always hope to stop there and take a photo but usually there is nowhere to safely park! Perhaps next year.
Had to go back to September 2012 for a letter 'V' and I think VIEWPOINT fits the bill. This as you probably all know is at Afionas and is overlooking St George's Bay North

Hi Pat
The torpedo is on Ericousa i checked the photos properties i should have done that first
kevin
I was told that there are three torpedoes on view in Corfu. One in Magoulades, one in Corfu Town outside the Navy base and another in the south of the island.
and one in Afionas , as well. The K & B pic is not that one, neither Magoulades or I think Corfu Town.
Anyone shed any info on this??

Forget the speedos what I love most about Patrick's posts (well obv AFTER the speedos) are the accurate descriptions of wherever the fab photos were taken! Pat for president!!
Thanks Truth and Jo for your comments. I love to know the story behind things I see (and photograph) - perhaps it comes of being nosy - but then my whole career was spent being nosy so I can't help it. Am already president of the local Probus club so can't take on any more heavy responsibilities - perhaps we might look to Jo to be President of the A to Z club!!

Back to May 2003 to the days when we hadn't found Arillas and stayed at Sidari. On hired bikes we found Kounavades and these wonderful trailing PELARGONIUMS (generally called geraniums).

On 7th September 2013, Billy Kaloudis took us in his speedboat to Ericousa (which means heather island), and we enjoyed a tour of the island, a visit to the refurbished WINDMILL and a meal at one of the tavernas, followed by an afternoon on Porto, one of the lovely beaches.

Ereikoussa - by the old windmill (https://flic.kr/p/g3gbe8) by pj's memories (https://www.flickr.com/photos/pjsmemories/), on Flickr
From Wikipedia: Ereikoussa (Greek: Ερείκουσα , Italian: Merlera) is an island and a former community of the Ionian Islands, Greece. It is one of the Diapontia Islands, an island complex to the northwest of Corfu. Since the 2011 local government reform it is part of the municipality of Corfu, of which it is a municipal unit. It is located off the northwestern coast of the island of Corfu, and is almost equidistant from Corfu to the southeast, Mathraki to the southwest, and Othonoi to the west. There is only one town on the island, also named Ereikoússa. Its population was 496 at the 2011 census and its land area is 3.7 square kilometres (1 sq mi). The island is rich in green forests, filled with cypress, and olive trees. It has two beaches, Porto (Πόρτο) and Braghini (Μπραγκίνι); the names are of Italian origin, and date back to the period of Venetian rule. Braghini is rarely visited because it is further away from the main part of the island.

(http://i.imgur.com/u9ubVG6.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/aQErjzY.jpg)
Datura is a genus of nine species of poisonous vespertine flowering plants belonging to the family Solanaceae. They are commonly known as daturas, but also known as devil's trumpets,[1] not to be confused with angel's trumpets, its closely related genus Brugmansia. They are also sometimes called moonflowers, Jimsonweed, devil's weed, hell's bells, thorn-apple, and many more. Its precise and natural distribution is uncertain, owing to its extensive cultivation and naturalization throughout the temperate and tropical regions of the globe. Its distribution within the Americas and North Africa, however, is most likely restricted to the United States and Mexico and Southern Canada in North America, and Tunisia in Africa, where the highest species diversity occurs.
All species of Datura are poisonous, especially their seeds and flowers.

Had been waiting for Sonia or Kev to do 'T', but it looks as if it will have to be me. So I've chosen this photo taken on 3rd October 2009 of the TAMARISK tree which used to be on the beach opposite The Horizon Hotel. Am pleased to see that a replacement arrived after the storm which finished off this lovely one.

I like the pic of little Billy at the Kaloudis - have spent many happy hours there. However for X have moved to Paleocastritsa for a photo of me down on the beach wearing my Cotton Traders shirt on September 8th, 2016. What has that to do with X you may wonder. Well the word xilinous means "of, like or pertaining to cotton", so I think my shirt qualifies!

HI ALL
Y FOR YAMAS
Definition: You'll be hearing "Yasou" as a greeting all over Greece - but what exactly is being said? The word is one of those wonderful multi-purpose terms, which is used along with its more formal cousin, Yassas. Both words mean, roughly, "Your health!" and can be used as either a greeting or, less frequently, a toast when drinking - usually raki or ouzo in a traditional setting, but it can be used just as correctly when imbibing a pina colada or any drink.
Yasou is the more familiar version, used among equals or to supposed "inferiors" such as children. "Yassas" is more respectful, a bit old-fashioned, and is ideally used when addressing an older person. Tourists will often hear "Yassas" from Greeks in the tourist industry, since you are the presumably honorable and honored guest.
"Yamas" is a similar term but is only used in the context of drinking - you would not use it as a greeting on its own.

HI ALL
H FOR HOLY TRINITY METEORA
The Holy Trinity Monastery (Greek: Μονή Αγίας Τριάδος) (also known as Agia Triada, Ayías Triádhos, Ayia Triada; all meaning "Holy Trinity") is an Eastern Orthodox monastery in central Greece, situated in the Peneas Valley northeast of the town of Kalambaka. It is situated at the top of a rocky precipice over 400 metres high and forms part of 24 monasteries which were originally built at Meteora, one of the oldest still existing of the Meteora monasteries (Meteora means "suspended in the air" in Greek). Six of the 24 monasteries are still active and open to visitors. The church was constructed between the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and is included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites titled Meteora. The monastery was featured in the 1981 James Bond film, For Your Eyes Only.

It could be a the Oleander hawk-moth, Daphnis nerii
Metamorphosis
December 19, 2009 by Krishna Mohan
When I returned to my in-laws place at Bondel, Mangalore, I was eagerly greeted by my daughter who showed this plump green caterpillar which she sighted on the flowering bush in their garden. She had seen the similar caterpillar earlier at her school backyard and wanted to know the identification. There were 3 caterpillars on that Crape jasmine (Tabernaemontana divaricata) plant. They were caterpillars of the of the oleander hawk-moth.
(http://i.imgur.com/usauHXJ.jpg)
The Oleander hawk-moth, Daphnis nerii (Linnaeus, 1758), one of the most widely distributed species of sphingid in the world, is known to occur in Africa, southern Europe, Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, Yunnan (south China), Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines, Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, and North Borneo, and has been introduced to southern Japan, Hawaii, and Guam. Its vernacular name refers to the oleander, Nerium oleander (family Apocynaceae), on which its larvae feed, among other members in its family of poisonous, laticiferous plants. Incidentally, the Oleander was also first described by renowned Swedish naturalist, Carolus Linnaeus in 1753. I had the great opportunity of photographing this moth earlier which I documented on this website here and here.
Entire body of this caterpillar was a pleasant apple green, with a straight, dorso-lateral row of small, aqua-marine dots from its second to seventh abdominal segments, with a chalky white, longitudinal band immediately above this. There was also a scattering of distinct, white dots from its first to fifth abdominal segments. Its spiracles were jet black, outlined with white. On its third thoracic segment, there was a prominent pair of ocelli (A marking that resembles an eye), consisting of an outer, Dark Blue ring with a whitish blue center, clearly advertised when its defensive posture (head tucked under) was adopted.
Its tail horn was relatively short and had a rounded tip. There was a sparse distribution of low, short spines over the entire tail horn, which was largely citrus-yellow. It was voraciously feeding on Crape jasmine leaves and excreting large greenish black pellets. Since it was dark we decided to visit and photograph it next day.
Next day morning when we went to visit the caterpillar again we just couldn't find any apple green caterpillar. Previously apple-green body had transformed to a dirty orange on the flanks and an olive-brown on the dorsum. A symmetrical pair of round, black patches had also appeared on the top of its first thoracic segment, just posterior to its head.
The thick rings of its false eye spots had darkened to a black outline. The yellow of its posterior tail horn had now darker orange. This was pre-pupal metamorphosis of the caterpillar. What we saw yesterday was the final instar version of this caterpillar.As we were observing the caterpillar was descending to the ground. Then it dropped to the ground and started burrowing deep into the soil to pupate. I did not disturb its path and let it continue. In another 10days I was sure it is going to emerge out of its pupa and brilliantly colored oleander hawk moth which I had previously documented on my website.
(http://i.imgur.com/97r8luC.jpg)
Descriptions and illustrations of the larva and pupa of the oleander hawk-moth were provided previously by Bell & Scott (1937), with more recent works by Pittaway (1993) and Pittaway & Kitching (2009). Throughout its broad geographical distribution, the combined list of documented larval host plants for the oleander hawk-moth comprises no fewer than 32 genera in 12 families, clear indications of a polyphagous diet. However, there appears to be a strong preference for plants in the family Apocynaceae, with at least 17 genera (more than half) recorded. A most probable advantage of consuming potentially poisonous plants in this family would be the chemical defense that the larvae would be able to derive from them. For example, the leaves and other parts of the oleander contain a potent concoction of cardiac glycosides (cardenolides), such as oleandrin, which can cause nausea, vomiting, weakness, irregular pulse and decreased heart rate. The oleander has even been responsible for occasional fatalities in humans. Thus the plants in the Apocynaceae would confer the larvae considerable deterrence against a variety of predators.

HI ALL
L FOR LIGHTHOUSE
A light was exhibited from a rocky islet off the norteast tip of Corfu Island at Peristeres as early as 1828. It was one of the first beacons established in Greece after the War of Independence. Peristeres means the "doves" or "pigeons".
The lighthouse was constructed by the British during their rule of the Ionian Islands. The first light may have been a simple column holding a beacon. It signaled the entrance to the narrow passage between Corfu and the mainland. By 1872 the beacon needed to be replaced and a sturdy stone tower was built. Unfortunately, the 1982 lighthouse is now in ruins due to earthquakes and attacks by German bombers during World War II. Still the Hellenic Lighthouse Service keeps a small modern beacon on the site.
The lighthouse is sometimes called "Kaparelli Light" or "Tiniozo Light". It is a quide for ships headed south out of the Adriatic Sea. The Albanian coastline is visible in the distance. The turbulent waters around the island constantly erode its shores. The intense rainstorms of the isle inspired Prospero's stormy island in Shakespeare The Tempest.
The site is accessible only by private boat. It is dangerous to visit , due to the ruined buildings.
Nearest Town or City:
Kassiopi village, Corfu Isl, Greece
Location: NW of Corfu (Kerkyra) Isl.
Managing Organization:
Hydrographic Office of the Hellenic Navy
Tower Height: 17m

I absolutely love that photo Patrick!
It really sums up Corfu old town for me and could have been taken over a hundred years ago
Thank You
Suzy x
Thanks for the kind comment Suzy61. I think you are right about the timeless quality. However although Corfu has changed somewhat since my first visit in 1970 it has not lost that ancient charm which is a combination of buildings, nature and people. I suppose the most startling sign of changing times is the amount of traffic, which every time I arrive and set off for Arillas seems to get faster despite there being more of it.
Perhaps I should try to dig out another of my old slides from that first visit - I just wonder what happened to that 47 years which seems to have passed in the blink of an eye!
Regards
Pat
Have dug out another of my Agfacolor slides from our visit in September 1970. This one is of the PALACE of St Michael & St George in Corfu Town.
Palace of St. Michael and St. George is a palace in Corfu City on the island of Corfu, Greece. The Greek name is "Palaia Anaktora". The palace was built by Sir Thomas Maitland, the British Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Islands. It served as the High Commissioner's residence, but was also the home of the Ionian Senate and the Order of St Michael and St George. The foundation stone was laid on St. George's day in 1819. The location is between the old town of Corfu and the Venetian citadel.

HI ALL
Q FOR QUITE AMAZING
The Monastery of the Holy Trinity or Agia Triada - Meteora
The six surviving monasteries are all on tall pinnacles with sheer faces. The only access in the past was to climb rope ladders or to be hoisted in a rope net.
Now there is a steep stairway descending the side of the top plateau, a narrow stone bridge across the chasm, and a series of paths and stairways up the face of the monastery's pillar.
A set of steel cables crosses the chasm, carrying a small cable car used by visiting priests who want to use this relatively traditional means of arrival.
they use the cable car to get to other monasteries

HI ALL
I know this is not in Arillas but it is history
Pelion railway is a 600 mm narrow gauge railway line of Thessaly Railways in Greece, connecting the city of Volos with the town of Mileai on Pelion.
(http://i.imgur.com/EYqj8L5.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/wCfZPbC.jpg)(http://i.imgur.com/eQ01gaU.jpg) (http://i.imgur.com/kOtlL2U.jpg) PELION TRAIN
The history and myths of Pelion on a magical journey
10 o'clock in Ano Lechonia station. Pelion train whistles giving the signal of an unforgettable journey. The ascent to the beautiful slopes of Pelion towards Milies begins! One of the tightest tracks in the world (60 centimeters) hosts "Moutzouris" (as was once called Pelion train) 4 wagons, to indicate the steam and smoke that left in its wake..From Ano Lechonia till Milies route is mountainous, crossing the green slopes with dense vegetation of trees and bushes. The only stop for the train is just for 15 minutes in Ano Gatzea. Then continues "blowing" and rocking its wagons, for a route of 15 km, in about 90 minutes. Up to the historic village of Milies, the path is filled with rich images of nature and architecture with old but elaborate structures of carved marble and gray limestone that shaped arched bridges, arches and tunnels openings. A unique sample is the five-arched stone bridge known as "Kalorema", in Malaki area. Approaching Milies the landscape acquires a wild beauty, especially over the large metal bridge of Taxiarchi or De Chirico, the name of the designer and father of the great painter. At this point, the train will roll in a curve line, while the bridge is straight. Milies Station is the terminus of the route. From here the picturesque cobbled road leading to the center of the village begins. Traditional hostels, taverns, the church of the Archangels (built before 1741), the folklore museum and library (one of the oldest in Greece), await visitors for a tour. The most scenic railway line in Greece returns in Ano Lechonia at 3 o' clock in the afternoon.
Access Ano Lechonia - Milies
Train operates from spring to autumn, with a specific release schedule, with 1 daily route on the mountainous path. Total time route is 1 hour and 30 minutes (with 15 minutes break for stretching, coffee, tsipouro and refreshments in the picturesque station of Ano Gatzea). Access to Ano Lechonia railway station (which is 12 km from Volos), is from the road to Kala Nera by bus line Volos- Lechonia - Platanidia and stops 50 meters from the station. One can also get there by car and as there is ample parking space in front of the station. There are brown road signs to the station from the adjacent road. The access road to Milies station is only by car and there is limited parking at the station. For the record...
The historic train that once covered the route Volos - Milies, flowed onto the also historic railway whose construction began in 1892 (the first part was up to Lechonia and finally finished in 1896). The remaining part till Milies was constructed later on and operated in 1903. Evaristo de Chirico, father of the famous painter Giorgio de Chirico(who was born in Volos), oversaw the construction of the railway network,. During the construction progress young De Chirico was there, observing the vehicle that later inspired and steadily accompanied his creations.

The main common name for the Hebe group is Veronica – an older term that was brought about by Hebes being grouped in the Veronica main family. Nowadays, they are Hebes, with the veronicas being a group of perennial plants – distinct from Hebes, though with somewhat

V is also for Viv in Arillas but thought you would all know the big silly grin on my face when I'm there.

W..... is for Wet Towels. (And there I was trying to get a perfect pic) - W also for wasted.

Where is Mathraki Island Sonia? I'm sure that I should know!
Lovely photo btw
Suzy X
Dear Suzy - As you stand on the front at Arillas and look out to sea, to the left of the headland on your right, you can see the two Diaplo Islands, in the far distance is Mathraki and at night you can see the lights there twinkling. If you scroll up to the picture of Julia you can see Mathraki beyond the twin Diaplo islands.
Regards
Pat
Pat has kindly answered Suzy. You can get a boat over from San Stefanos. We arranged it with the travel agents opposite the phone box on junction where Armorada is. I think they are called Akitori travel. Beautiful beach but not a lot there. If it is hot there is no shade on the beach. Lovely taverna though to have a nice colds drink to cool off.
N...... for noose.
As our seatbelts don't work very well , I have to fit this around Wegg's neck , when driving.

The scientific name for the nurse shark sounds like something Bilbo Baggins might have said to summon elves to his rescue: Ginglymostoma cirratum. Actually the name is a mix of Greek and Latin and means "curled, hinged mouth" to describe this shark's somewhat puckered appearance

N FOR NIGHTINGALE NEST AT PARGA
The Acheron is a river located in the Epirus region of northwest Greece. Its source is near the village Zotiko, in the southwestern part of the Ioannina regional unit it flows into the Ionian Sea in Ammoudia, near Parga.
(http://i.imgur.com/msdtl1P.gif)KEVIN
How interesting Kev to see how well the nest blends into the background. Reminds me of some chameleons we saw in Cyprus which were very difficult to spot against a background of hedgerow.
So after N must come O - so what is it to be?

As some of you know we have had to leave our wonderful home that we lived in for the summer months in Arillas. We have a lovely Swiss couple who love it as much as we did but it is heartbreaking after 10 years of building - heart and Soul
We hope it will be possible to come back to Arillas - do not want to go anywhere else!!!in the future - then as Holiday makers!
Do not usually post anything and this is very hard to do - so final.
But that is life
Arillas is very very Special - God knows why!!
Take care all of you - maybe see you when we are on " Holiday"
Alles liebe

KEVIN
They have been in Arillas for the last two weeks, think he is due home today so expect to see photos soon
Its wonderful to be missed, but there I was in Arillas all the time. Got home 11.30pm last night after two weeks of a wonderful beach holiday. No car hire this year, just long lazy hours sunbathing and swimming in the warm sea.
There could be some photos soon - just as soon as I catch up with hundreds of emails, facebooks, etc.
Kevin: Am sorry to say my muscles have not been helped by all those wonderful meals at the Thalassa, Marina, Kosta's, Horizon etc.
Best wishes to all who were worried about me (and even those who weren't).
So if you want an M here's ME taken many years ago (2008) on the naturist beach (avert eyes now)!

Many of my photographs will not be shown as Photobucket are demanding $89 per year and they have blocked my account until I pay. :-(
I think the moral is that hardly anything on the internet is free anymore and if it is free you will pay one day. Don't delete photos after uploading, keep them safe on a hard drive, or two hard drives as additional backup
I am in the same position Terry but there are other ways of posting. I am grateful to Kevin for sending me details but not had time to figure it out yet.
Snap I am in the same predicament as Terry & Sonja with Photobucket I only use to post images on the forum 89 dollars that's nearly a flight one way with hand luggage! All my images backed up x3.
Will have to use flickr now.
Al
Had the same from Photobucket, but they have not said they will close my account if I don't pay up. I only use it infrequently preferring Flickr for my photo uploads.
However now we need an O, so my contribution is OPEN DOOR.

Hurray, I can see my Photobucket photos again. There is an almighty worldwide backlash against Photobucket and developers are coming up with tools to view Photobucket photos.
Try this, it works.
Photobucket fix in Firefox and Chrome
I meant to post this over the weekend but forgot. After PB's decision to alienate half the internet-using world by holding people's images to ransom, clever bods have been at work at Firefox and Google to create a fix for zapped links. And it works.
In the cases where former/current PhotoBucket users haven't deleted all their albums, Chrome and Firefox now have an extension, Photobucket Embed Fix, that will display the 3rd party hosted images.
_______________
For Firefox browser users,
•go to to the upper right of the screen and click on the 3 horizontal bars ("Open Menu")
•click on "Add-Ons"
• click on "Get Add-Ons", at the bottom of the screen
• click on "See More Add-Ons!".
• A new page will open up, look for "photobucket embed fix"
• touch it with your mouse pointer
• click on "+ Add to Firefox" then "Add".
For Google Chrome browsers, type in "photobucket embed fix" in the browser search/URL bar and click on the "photobucket embed fix" link.

HI ALL
THANKS KARL
S FOR SAGO PALM TRIA ADELPHIA
Cycas revoluta, is a species of gymnosperm in the family Cycadaceae, native to southern Japan including the Ryukyu Islands. It is one of several species used for the production of sago, as well as an ornamental plant.
The pith contains edible starch, and is used for making sago. Before use, the starch must be carefully washed to leach out toxins contained in the pith. Extracting edible starch from the sago cycad requires special care due to the poisonous nature of cycads. Cycad sago is used for many of the same purposes as palm sago. Sago is extracted from the sago cycad by cutting the pith from the stem, root and seeds of the cycads, grinding the pith to a coarse flour and then washing it carefully and repeatedly to leach out the natural toxins. The starchy residue is then dried and cooked, producing a starch similar to palm sago/sabudana. The cycad seed contains cycasin toxin and should not be eaten as it is possible for cycasin toxin to survive the most vigorous of repeated washings. Cycasin toxin can cause ALS, Parkinson's, prostate cancer and fibrolemellar hepatocellular carcinoma.

Thanks for the advice Eggy, will be applying extra starch as instructed, so look out next September - (21st Sept to 5th Oct) actually. Glad to see Kevin & Bev are there in September but sadly we will miss them as we have reverted to the end of the month.

P is for Photobucket, the blackmailing company who are holding many people to ransom
But, there is an answer, and it works, as I have got most of my many Photobucket photos back. Try it
As we know photobucket has gone down the charging route and some great photos from the pages on the forum have all but gone. Use these instructions below and trust me it works. I can see all the photobucket photos on here again. Its from Google and is free.
If you're using Google Chrome, go to the three dots on the top right side of the screen and click them. A drop down should appear. Hover your mouse over "More Tools," and when the next drop down appears, click on extensions. Go to the link towards the bottom that says "Get more extensions." In the search box, type "Photobucket Fix," and hit enter. Click the install button and once it's done, you should be able to see photobucket pictures again.
Thanks Terry i hope this helps some members

(https://i.imgur.com/Z2NdgCf.jpg) KEVIN SEP 2002
Kalymnos is located on the northern side of Dodecanese and close to the Turkish coasts. This island distinguishes for the wild rocky mountains, which is why it has developed as a rock climbing destination over the last years. In fact, an International Climbing Festival takes place in Kalymnos island every September. In the past, the locals used to make their living from sponge fishing. Although this activity has declined today, there are many sponge sellers at the beachfront of Pothia, the capital of the island. The beach resorts in Kalymnos Greece are nice and relaxing, while during your Kalymnos holidays you should not miss a day trip to the small island of Telendos, a popular nudist destination Source:

Thanks for the kind words, Geoff. Yes it was a sort of sarong but the French called it a pareo. Here's another photo of me, and my pareo, taken by Julia, but this time am wearing it round my neck. Note the matching trunks with south seas Gaugin pattern by Intersparta. Photo taken in Corsica (so another C) September 1969. Looking back I think I must have been a dedicated follower of fashion!

P FOR PHOENIX CANARIENSIS AT THE TRIA ADELPHIA
The phoenix it has gone now been cut down
(https://i.imgur.com/S3hTZ3n.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/kQXIrck.jpg)
The palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus is one of two species of snout beetle known as the red palm weevil, Asian palm weevil or sago palm weevil. The adult beetles are relatively large, ranging between two and four centimeters long, and are usually a rusty red colour—but many colour variants exist and have often been classified as different species (e.g., Rhynchophorus vulneratus). Weevil larvae can excavate holes in the trunk of a palm trees up to a metre long, thereby weakening and eventually killing the host plant. As a result, the weevil is considered a major pest in palm plantations, including the coconut palm, date palm and oil palm.[2]
Originally from tropical Asia, the red palm weevil has spread to Africa and Europe, reaching the Mediterranean in the 1980s. It was first recorded in Spain in 1994,[3] and in France in 2006. Additional infestations have been located in Malta and Italy (Tuscany, Sicily, Campania, Sardinia, Lazio, Marche, Puglia and Liguria). It is also well established throughout most of Portugal, especially in the South.[4] It also has established in Morocco, Tunisia, and other North African countries.[5] The weevil was first reported in the Americas on Curaçao in January 2009[6] and sighted the same year in Aruba.[7] It was reported in the United States at Laguna Beach, CA late in 2010[8][9]
INSECTICIDE
The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (1790), is a lethal pest of palms worldwide. In Italy, RPW severely damage Phoenix canariensis. Infested palms can recover if treated at an early stage of infestation. Therefore the aim of this study was to to describe an IPM programme for RPW control by endotherapy as a safe measure in urban and periurban area. A new apparatus was developed to inject insecticides (Imidaclopride, Dimethoate and fenthion) into the trees. High productivity and less cost of apparatus are importent to cotrol wide area infested by RPW. This injection chemical control method is environmentaly friendly with any polution drived from draft of insecticides during treatment. High human saftey is considered for worker and implementers.
(https://i.imgur.com/tri5uvs.png)
This is why Arillas are losing this lovely plant
kevin
How very interesting. I was aware that many lovely palm trees have been cut down because of a problem but didn't know exactly what it was. Have noticed the loss of the trees in several of my holiday locations. Lets hope early action with the insecticide mentioned by Kev saves a few palms.
We now come to the somewhat awkward letter of Q, so will have to search long and hard to find a suitable picture.

Patrick , credit to you and Kev n Bev and "Turkeyleg" for all these interesting snips. - Even I love to see them and I live here so GOTTABEGOOD.
Have a good Xmas break and if Father Xmas brings you more speedos then please tell us .
(I need to warn Arillas folk)
and.... I use "Turkey leg" as it is xmas so a "Turkey foot" does not compute. - Who wants a Turkey foot at Xmas (Possible only his other half as long as he supplies the iron)
Cheers

Hi
Merry Christmas Eggy to you and your family

Don't think the things under the Christmas tree include more Speedos as I've requested a winter coat, for Christmas and some navy cord trousers for my birthday on 28th!
However I have a goodly stock of swim briefs and will be bringing them to Arillas in September so you'd better stand by with that warning.
Best wishes too, to Kevin who is helping keep this thread running, and to Geoff (I asked him why 'Turkeyfoot', but I can't repeat the reason he gave me on a family forum like this).
Merry Christmas one and all,
Pat

Am amazed that Geoff's eagle eye spotted his favourite condiment tins on my desk. They are very useful I find. We get through lots of mustard powder in this house. Sadly Tesco's only do the 57 gramme tins nowadays. I wrote to Colman's to ask where we could get bigger ones and it seems only online in this area. Postage costs are prohibitive though.
Just to keep Geoff happy I will be for

Is it still safe to walk up the donkey track over the cliff
Hi Sue
Yes we go over all the time the path goes in a different way now away about 10 meters inland from the part that gave way
Kevin
Oh that's good. We want to try the bar on the top and we go down to San Stef for breakfast on the beach too the. Walk back along the main road and cut through. I did hear there was a bus that goes between San Stef and Arillas. But is that a myth 😀
So far as the Donkey Track is concerned, work was done to move it inland a few yards away from the cliff edge. Unless this winter has taken its toll I believe it to be okay.
Now for a W. Have picked this one from 3rd October 2009 taken from the balcony of our room number 37 at the Kaloudis Holiday Village. WINDOW ON GRAVIA

HI ALL
X FOR XYSTUS VIDOS ISLAND
(in ancient Greece) a long portico used by athletes for exercise under cover.
(in ancient Rome) a garden walk or terrace under cover.
The island of Vidos
The small, wooded isle of Vidos lies just half a mile from Corfu Town's Old Port, allowing you to glimpse the
historical buildings of the Old Town and St. Spiridon's church, framed by pine trees and clear blue sea. Known in ancient times as the Island of Hera, sister of Zeus and goddess of marriage, the seemingly tranquil paradise of Vidos has lived through much history. Under Venetian rule, which dominated Corfu Greece from the 15th century to the early 18th century, tunnels were built linking Vidos with the main island. Criminals were tried at the Old Fortress in Corfu Town, and then transported through the tunnels to Vidos island , which was once Corfu's 'Alcatraz'

Dont get me started on adding photos. I had loads of trouble years ago and had to be guided every step of the way. I bet I won't remember now anyway 🤣
You can do it Sue. I'll message you.
With posting the photo of Spiros (Thalassa), I must say that we are looking forward to seeing him and Aggi more than ever this year. Their daughter is beautiful and Helen is already thinking about buying baby clothes, aged 6 months, to take in June. Spiros and Aggi are a lovely couple. Eating at Thalassa isn't just a meal, it's always a wonderful experience.

Wow, we've never seen the sea that rough In Arillas. We've been when there's been a terrific storm i. September. You could see the big black clouds rolling in over the sea and it hit the Bardis Sun Hotel and we were on the corner. Everything got blown into the swimming pool. Mike went in later rescuing the plants and umbrellas. We had water flooding under the door in our room. It was quite exciting to be in Arillas under different conditions.. I wouldn't go In the sea like that but love to watch it. We had a bit of a scary time many years ago in Agios Gordios when the winds and waves whipped up and I'm not a swimmer and In Zante coming back from turtle island on a small taxi boat with no life jackets either. We kept getting blown off course. The winds get up so quickly. Loving the photos thanks.

Is it very cold in Arillas today Eggy....those little bugs have got their balaclavas on their bottoms instead of their heads . 🤔

HI NEIL
I think you got
Latin name Eriosoma lanigerum
Common name Woolly aphid also known as American blight
Main symptoms Lumpy swellings on the bark and, in summer, colonies of aphids covered in white fluff on the trunk and branches
Woolly Aphid Control
Since severe woolly aphid attacks rarely occur, there is little need for woolly aphid pesticide for control. Generally, their numbers are kept low with natural predators like lacewings, ladybugs, hover flies, and parasitic wasps. If desired, you can spot treat where the aphids are most abundant using insecticidal soap or neem oil. You can also prune out and destroy infested branches when feasible. When chemical control is deemed necessary, woolly aphid insecticide such as acephate (Orthene) can be used to control these pests.

Hi Neil
The red things are Arbutus unedo
strawberry tree
Description/Taste
The fruit of the Strawberry tree is distinguished by its globular shape and rough-textured skin that is candy apple red and about 3/4 inch in diameter when ripe. Unlike ground strawberries, which wear their seeds on their skin, the Strawberry tree fruit contains seeds within its flesh. The flesh is white to golden in color with a soft jelly-like consistency. The Strawberry fruit replicates flavors reminiscent of apricots and guavas with subtle woody undertones, a characteristic evident of many wild shrub fruits. On a foraging note, unripe Strawberry tree fruit can cause nausea while overripe fruit ferments on the branch and can cause mild intoxication.
Seasons/Availability
The Strawberry tree can be found in bloom during the winter with fruits ripening from summer into early fall.

COME TO THE RESCUE
X FOR XERARCH having its origin in a dry habitat.
The flesh of the prickly pear can be used to make jam, jelly, sorbet, wine, and "cactus candy." The seeds can be consumed with the fruit (but be careful not to bite into them, as they're quite hard) or spit out. Some people eat the seeds in soup or dry them to be ground into flour.
Opuntia is a genus in the cactus family, Cactaceae
(https://i.imgur.com/8xxEf5c.jpg) KEVIN
There are many adaptations that the pancake prickly pear cactus has to the Sonoran Desert. Cacti have reduced their leaves to spines to reduce water loss and to protect the cactus. The roots of the prickly pear cactus are also made for very dry environment to help adapt to the deserts hot weather.

Not sure if I could sit in a tree with a petrol chainsaw and chop away "willy nilly" !! - But it does the job.

HI ALL
U FOR UMBRELLA OR IS IT A PARASOL
What is the difference between an umbrella and a parasol?
An umbrella or parasol is a folding canopy supported by wooden or metal ribs, which is usually mounted on a wooden, metal, or plastic pole.
It is designed to protect a person against rain or sunlight. The word "umbrella" typically refers to a device used for protection from rain. The word parasol usually refers to an item designed to protect from the sun. Often the difference is the material used for the canopy; some parasols are not waterproof.

Hi Patrick
Good to see you back
Is it good at old perithia I like to go
Kevin
I was going to ask the same question Kevin.
Old PERITHIA is fascinating. It is on the side of Pantocrator - a mountain village - and it seems the inhabitants found it just too far from civilisation and gradually drifted down to the village, also called Perithia nearer the coast and main road. This all happened in fairly recent times as many of the houses have electric wiring on the walls.
There are a few tavernas (I think four) operating and serving decent refreshments and meals.
There are about eight churches, but when I went with Heather & Paul Diamond they were all locked up. Many of the houses can be explored though. I enjoyed collecting ripe walnuts and eating a few figs left to grow wild.

Is Old Perithia far from Arillias and is it easy to get there? We've never been but heard lots of good things about the place.
Looks fascinating!

Dear Suzy - It's 20.5 miles from Arillas and can be done in a small car even though the road is a bit rough going up the mountain. It you search for "Arillas to Perithia Directions, Kerkyra" on Google or Bing you will get a map and directions.
Best wishes

Did you have a dark blue pair when you were a copper ? 😂
Hi Truth - Am hoping to start swimming again soon. Was always a keen swimmer when I was a copper - you had to be qualified as a life saver when I joined - trunks were not part of the uniform so only sometimes were they navy blue.
I always liked this pair of 'Mark Spitz' being worn on a sand dune in Denmark August 1989 - note my triplets have got some snazzy red trunks.

W FOR WOODEN CART VIDOS ISLAND - RABBIT ISLAND
The island of Vidos
The small, wooded isle of Vidos lies just half a mile from Corfu Town's Old Port, allowing you to glimpse the
historical buildings of the Old Town and St. Spiridon's church, framed by pine trees and clear blue sea. Known in ancient times as the Island of Hera, sister of Zeus and goddess of marriage, the seemingly tranquil paradise of Vidos has lived through much history. Under Venetian rule, which dominated Corfu Greece from the 15th century to the early 18th century, tunnels were built linking Vidos with the main island. Criminals were tried at the Old Fortress in Corfu Town, and then transported through the tunnels to Vidos island , which was once Corfu's 'Alcatraz'

HI ALL
Z FOR ZONARADIKO Zonaradiko (Greek: Ζωναράδικος) is a traditional Greekfolk dance from Thrace (Greece) that is named after the dance's handhold. Dancers hold the adjacent dancer's zonaria (belt) during the dance. Zonaradiko is a village line dance done in one form or another all over Greece; in each village the dance will look somewhat different, but the basic structure is essentially the same. The same dance is done in Bulgaria under the name Pravo,[1] the variations below are a collection of steps commonly done by folk dancers throughout the US and as seen done by various groups in Greece.
Many variations of the dance exist; in northern Thrace, zonaradikos turns into a fast tsestos dance. In western Thrace, the dance is led by the males, and the females follow towards the end of the line, as the dance nears the end, the first dancer moves to the centre and the others twist around him, then they "unwist" and go back to their normal positions. Mixed lines of men and women, holding belts, the leader is on the right. When the Tsestos portion starts, either the entire line does the Tsestos steps, or those doing the Tsestos steps form a new belt-hold line inside (towards the center) of the original line. Traditionally, some or all of the men would leave the line and the women would either stop and watch or continue the pravo around the men's line, the entire dance is done with the knees bent. This position is especially evident in the Tsestos.

There have been a few changes since some of these photos were taken.
I the island in the Hotel marvel pool no longer has the palm tree. It now has a little bridge to it with a table & chairs so you can sit & have a drink.
K Kostas has had to remove the outside covering of the eating area & it is now open air, although they do have 2 large umberellas as well. Something to do with a change in the law meant they had to remove the old roofing.

P FOR PHOENIX CANARIENSIS AT THE TRIA ADELPHIA
The phoenix it has gone now been cut down
(https://i.imgur.com/S3hTZ3n.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/kQXIrck.jpg)
The palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus is one of two species of snout beetle known as the red palm weevil, Asian palm weevil or sago palm weevil. The adult beetles are relatively large, ranging between two and four centimeters long, and are usually a rusty red colour—but many colour variants exist and have often been classified as different species (e.g., Rhynchophorus vulneratus). Weevil larvae can excavate holes in the trunk of a palm trees up to a metre long, thereby weakening and eventually killing the host plant. As a result, the weevil is considered a major pest in palm plantations, including the coconut palm, date palm and oil palm.[2]
Originally from tropical Asia, the red palm weevil has spread to Africa and Europe, reaching the Mediterranean in the 1980s. It was first recorded in Spain in 1994,[3] and in France in 2006. Additional infestations have been located in Malta and Italy (Tuscany, Sicily, Campania, Sardinia, Lazio, Marche, Puglia and Liguria). It is also well established throughout most of Portugal, especially in the South.[4] It also has established in Morocco, Tunisia, and other North African countries.[5] The weevil was first reported in the Americas on Curaçao in January 2009[6] and sighted the same year in Aruba.[7] It was reported in the United States at Laguna Beach, CA late in 2010[8][9]
INSECTICIDE
The red palm weevil (RPW), Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (1790), is a lethal pest of palms worldwide. In Italy, RPW severely damage Phoenix canariensis. Infested palms can recover if treated at an early stage of infestation. Therefore the aim of this study was to to describe an IPM programme for RPW control by endotherapy as a safe measure in urban and periurban area. A new apparatus was developed to inject insecticides (Imidaclopride, Dimethoate and fenthion) into the trees. High productivity and less cost of apparatus are importent to cotrol wide area infested by RPW. This injection chemical control method is environmentaly friendly with any polution drived from draft of insecticides during treatment. High human saftey is considered for worker and implementers.

C FOR CACTUS Prickly pear
Opuntia, commonly called prickly pear, is a genus in the cactus family, Cactaceae.[1] Prickly pears are also known as tuna (fruit), sabra, nopal (paddle, plural nopales) from the Nahuatl word nōpalli for the pads, or nostle, from the Nahuatl word nōchtli for the fruit; or paddle cactus. The genus is named for the Ancient Greek city of Opus, where, according to Theophrastus, an edible plant grew and could be propagated by rooting its leaves.[2] The most common culinary species is the Indian fig opuntia
Can you a prickly pear?
Now that the skin is removed, you can slice up the prickly pear to eat. The prickly pear has small, hard seeds that you cannot bite through, but they are safe to swallow if you prefer. Or you can chew on the fruit and seeds and spit the seeds out. You can also use a juicer or strainer to remove the seeds.
(https://i.imgur.com/ANZpc21.jpg) KEVIN Has anyone tried one
Never had the courage to try a prickly pear, but now I know how to go about it I might have a go.
So next letter is D and I thought I'd go for DELTA - the milk for our breakfast four nut crunch.

Glad we sorted out the robot question - 'twas not 'War and Peace' I was standing on, just a handy step for short people. As you will see from the photo taken yesterday (in 30 degrees) I was in my usual footwear, on the Lincolnshire Coast at Huttoft where despite it being hot and sunny, and the school hols and the height of the season there was plenty of beach for everyone!
Looking forward to my dose of Arillas in a couple of months time.

X FOR XERARCH in a dry habitat. growing in dry places
Bougainvillea
They are not flowers you see they In botany, a bract is a modified or specialized leaf, especially one associated with a reproductive structure such as a flower, inflorescence axis or cone scale. Bracts are often different from foliage leaves. They may be smaller, larger, or of a different color, shape, or texture. Typically, they also look different from the parts of the flower, such as the petals or sepals. The state of having bracts is referred to as bracteate or bracteolate, and conversely the state of lacking them is referred to as ebracteate and ebracteolate, without bracts.
The leaves are alternate, simple ovate-acuminate, 4–13 cm long and 2–6 cm broad. The actual flower of the plant is small and generally white, but each cluster of three flowers is surrounded by three or six bracts with the bright colours associated with the plant, including pink, magenta, purple, red, orange, white, or yellow. Bougainvillea glabra is sometimes referred to as "paper flower" because the bracts are thin and papery.

N FOR NECTARINES
The Difference Between Peaches and Nectarines
The main physical difference is that peaches have a fuzzy coating, whereas nectarines are smooth and do not have this coating. They are almost identical genetically, but there is a gene variant between the two.
The peach (Prunus persica) is a deciduous tree native to the region of Northwest China between the Tarim Basin and the north slopes of the Kunlun Mountains, where it was first domesticated and cultivated.[3] It bears an edible juicy fruit called a peach or a nectarine.
The specific name persica refers to its widespread cultivation in Persia (modern-day Iran), from where it was transplanted to Europe. It belongs to the genus Prunus which includes the cherry, apricot, almond and plum, in the rose family. The peach is classified with the almond in the subgenus Amygdalus, distinguished from the other subgenera by the corrugated seed shell. Due to their close relatedness, the inside of a peach stone tastes remarkably similar to almond, and peach stones are often used to make a cheap version of marzipan, known as persipan.[4]
Peaches and nectarines are the same species, even though they are regarded commercially as different fruits. In contrast to peaches, whose fruits present the characteristic fuzz on the skin, nectarines are characterized by the absence of fruit-skin trichomes (fuzz-less fruit); it is thought that a mutation in a single gene (MYB25) is responsible for the hair or no-hair difference between the two.

X FOR XANTHIC YELLOW
YELLOW Brugmansia [Angel's trumpet]
Brugmansia is a genus of seven species of flowering plants in the family Solanaceae. They are woody trees or shrubs, with pendulous flowers, and have no spines on their fruit. Their large, fragrant flowers give them their common name of angel's trumpet
Poisonous Parts. Every part of the angel trumpet is highly poisonous, including the leaves, flowers, seeds and roots. All contain the toxic alkaloids scopolamine, atropine and hyoscyamine, which are widely synthesized into modern medicinal compounds but are deadly poisonous if used outside a doctor's supervision. The family Solanaceae.Nightshade Tomato Eggplant Peppers and the Potato The poison is found throughout the plant, but especially in green potatoes and new sprouts. Never eat potatoes that are spoiled or green below the skin. Always throw away the sprouts. Potatoes that are not green and have had any sprouts removed are safe to eat.

Hi
The genus Tamarix (tamarisk, salt cedar) is composed of about 50–60 species of flowering plants in the family Tamaricaceae, native to drier areas of Eurasia and Africa.[2] The generic name originated in Latin and may refer to the Tamaris River in Hispania Tarraconensis

I am glad more photos are going on the forum people look at different subjects and look at a photo a different way.
I use to be a freelance photographer for BMX mag in the 1980s only had one printed £100 I got I had full time job but we use to go out weekends just a hobby I went to college and got a A Level pass
You can have five photographers at one subject and they will all be different
Kevin
Thanks Kev for getting us all to post photos again as I love sharing photos and looking at other people's . I have to give credit to most of the photos being taken by my hubby though such as the last one of the umbrellas at Bardis sun. You can usually tell which photos he has taken and which ones I have taken. Mine are usually the ones of food. Lol.

A lot of the starters are salads and they are quite expensive. I'm not keen on salads but I like Litsa's salads. For a 50th birthday it would be a great place to as the fish dishes are also very nice and the views of the sunset are stunning. My own personal choice for a special meal would be lunchtime at Agni Taverna http://taverna-agni.com/ (http://taverna-agni.com/). It's quite a long drive but sitting so close to the sea with amazing food is a really special experience
Thanks Terry I am thinking Akrogiali at St Georgious for lunnch as live it there. As the sun sets early in September thinking that it will probably be dark by the time we eat in the evening so settng not too important as apposed to food. I do like authentic and wondering if Avdemon might be a bit modern for me. Decisions, decisions.n
Like the look of Taverna Agni Terry. Thanks.
Sorry everyone for hijacking this thread.
We went to Agni and although we only had breakfast I would agree that it's a beautiful spot. I think however yiannis and litsa's place would be just perfect but the only downside is that it's quite small. I'm also sure that they would be happy to liaise with you if you wanted a particular meal x
Jo - when you refer to Yiannis and Litsa's place is this Avdemon? Sorry, just checking as don't know who owns it.
It doesn't matter about size as only 6 of us for the meal but then having a bash when get back to Bardis Sun Studios.

well here it is
Large Cuckoo Pint, Arum italicum
Arum italicum is a common wildflower throughout the Mediterranean region, but is also frequently seen in gardens in Britain and other more northerly European countries where it has been cultivated.
Like other arums, this plant has long-stalked, heart-shaped leaves which are deeply veined in white or cream. The tiny flowers of arums are found on the thickened central axis of the plant, called the spadix, which is tightly wrapped in a large fleshy sheath, called the spathe. As the plant develops, the spathe opens to reveal the spadix.
Meaning of the Name
ArumFrom the Greek word 'aron' which is variously described as meaning 'climbing' or 'poisonous plant'.
italicumsimply means 'of' or 'from Italy' and the plant is said to be a native of southern Europe. It is not clear, however, whether the plant was named as coming from Italy or because the pattern on the leaves was thought to be like Italian marble.
How Poisonous, How Harmful?Toxic component is calcium oxalates. These needle-shaped crystals can irritate the skin, mouth, tongue, and throat, resulting in throat swelling, breathing difficulties, burning pain, and stomach upset.
Though the orange berries are quite attractive, their acrid taste and the tingling in the mouth which begins quite quickly, mean that large amounts are rarely ingested and serious harm is unusual.
When it's not flowering, Italian arum can be mistaken for calla lily, but beware - this plant can quickly become a nightmare. ... Human health is also a concern, as all parts of Italian arum are poisonous. Contact with this plant can cause skin irritation; eating any part of the plant can be fatal.
Right I will stay away from it in future.xx

Best wishes
Pat
Hi Patrick
Be very careful
Brugmansia is a genus of seven species of flowering plants in the family Solanaceae. They are woody trees or shrubs, with pendulous flowers, and have no spines on their fruit. Their large, fragrant flowers give them their common name of angel's trumpet
Poisonous Parts. Every part of the angel trumpet is highly poisonous, including the leaves, flowers, seeds and roots. All contain the toxic alkaloids scopolamine, atropine and hyoscyamine, which are widely synthesized into modern medicinal compounds but are deadly poisonous if used outside a doctor's supervision. The family Solanaceae.Nightshade Tomato Eggplant Peppers and the Potato The poison is found throughout the plant, but especially in green potatoes and new sprouts. Never eat potatoes that are spoiled or green below the skin. Always throw away the sprouts. Potatoes that are not green and have had any sprouts removed are safe to eat

F FOR FICUS ELASTICA Rubber plant opposite the coconut
Ficus elastica, the rubber fig, rubber bush, rubber tree, rubber plant, or Indian rubber bush, Indian rubber tree, is a species of plant in the fig genus, native to eastern parts of South Asia and southeast Asia. It has become naturalized in Sri Lanka, the West Indies, and the US State of Florida
Description
Leaves of Ficus elastica
It is a large tree in the banyan group of figs, growing to 30–40 metres (98–131 ft) (rarely up to 60 metres or 200 feet) tall, with a stout trunk up to 2 metres (6.6 ft) in diameter. The trunk develops aerial and buttressing roots to anchor it in the soil and help support heavy branches.
It has broad shiny oval leaves 10–35 centimetres (3.9–13.8 in) long and 5–15 centimetres (2.0–5.9 in) broad; leaf size is largest on young plants (occasionally to 45 centimetres or 18 inches long), much smaller on old trees (typically 10 centimetres or 3.9 inches long). The leaves develop inside a sheath at the apical meristem, which grows larger as the new leaf develops. When it is mature, it unfurls and the sheath drops off the plant. Inside the new leaf, another immature leaf is waiting to develop.
Pollination and fruiting
As with other members of the genus Ficus, the flowers require a particular species of fig wasp to pollinate it in a co-evolved relationship. Because of this relationship, the rubber plant does not produce highly colourful or fragrant flowers to attract other pollinators. The fruit is a small yellow-green oval fig 1 centimetre (0.39 in) long, barely edible; these are fake fruits that contain fertile seeds only in areas where the pollinating insect is present.

H FOR HIBISUS OUTSIDE AMMOS
Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. The genus is quite large, comprising several hundred species that are native to warm temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. Member species are renowned for their large, showy flowers and those species are commonly known simply as "hibiscus", or less widely known as rose mallow.
The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, as well as woody shrubs and small trees. The generic name is derived from the Greek name ἰβίσκος (hibiskos) which Pedanius Dioscorides gave to Althaea officinalis
Several species are widely cultivated as ornamental plants, notably Hibiscus syriacus and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis.
A tea made from hibiscus flowers is known by many names around the world and is served both hot and cold. The beverage is known for its red colour, tart flavour, and vitamin C content.
What are the benefits of drinking hibiscus tea?
The health benefits of hibiscus tea include relief from high blood pressure and high cholesterol, as well as digestive, immune system, and inflammatory problems. It helps to cure liver disease and reduces the risk of cancer. It can also speed up the metabolism and help in healthy, gradual weight loss

Is lantana camara poisonous?
Lantana (Lantana) is also called Red sage, Wild sage, Yellow Sage, and Shrub Verbena. Triterpenoids (liver toxins) are found in all parts of the plant. When ingested, clinical signs include depression, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, and possible liver failure (which occurs more commonly with farm animals).

This is the first time I seen a wild owl he or she was flying around making a screeching noises we looked up
And see it flying then it landed
I only had the small lens on the camera it is all ways the way i don't take the telephoto lens out at night otherwise it would be a good photo
But what a experience fantastic

Yes, Kevin, back after a super two weeks in our favourite spot. So its A for Arillas as in ARILLAS CAR RENTAL.
We hired this Opel Corsa for 11 days and got an upgrade from small to slightly bigger car! Change from last year when we spent most of our time on the beach. This year we toured the north of the island revisiting our favourite spots. We decided at the end of the holiday never to moan about the potholes in our Lincolnshire roads ever again.

I don't think it was this Villa that my good friend (lol) Alex stayed in. It was the panorama villa by Simpson Travel. Villa Vozos looks very nice though.
Hi
A English person was telling me in the bakery near the rainbow
I do remember you said she was staying at the panorama
Kev
Yeah her photos she posted on Instagram while she was in Arillas had a more similar pool area to the Panorma villa. I see that villa Panorma website is no more however.
Lovely place but if I could afford a olace like that I doubt it would be in Arillas..... no offence meant to Arillas ofcourse ! 😂
It deffo was the panarama she stayed at we had a nosy when we there and it definitely the pool shot she had posted on Instagram. I love celeb spotting. Just bank from a couple of days in Lake Como but never got the chance to see George Clooney unfortunately. Stunning place by the way

Kevin - They are not shorts. It's a tea towel!!

Couldn't find one for X. I realise I will have to coordinate my footwear more carefully in future. The 'socks' are actually hospital non-slip slippers! The shorts are Speedo but as you see look more like a tea-towel than my usual briefs.
Its a long time since I posted a photo of my grandson who is now 2¼ years old, so here is one taken yesterday of him having a paddle with his daddy in Nettleham beck.

Lantana is a genus of about 150 species of perennial flowering plants in the verbena family, Verbenaceae. They are native to tropical regions of the Americas and Africa but exist as an introduced species in numerous areas, especially in the Australian-Pacific region. The genus includes both herbaceous plants and shrubs growing to 0.5–2 m tall. Their common names are shrub verbenas or lantanas. The generic name originated in Late Latin, where it refers to the unrelated Viburnum lantana.

I think it is a A common name is rocktrumpet Genus: Mandevilla
is a genus of tropical and subtropical flowering
Growing Mandevilla Year Round. The mandevilla plant is often thought of as an annual but, in fact, it is very frost tender perennial. Once temperatures go below 50 F. (10 C.), you can bring your mandevilla plant indoors for the winter.
It's more of a indoor plant we are not hoter enough to keep the plant outside
I will keep looking to make sure it's the right plant

You just might see a few changes to Marina entrance , this Summer , Patrick.

Thanks for that Eggy - the photo dates from eleven years ago and there are bound to be changes. Sadly Julia and I will not be in Arillas this year - we couldn't get into the Kaloudis on the dates we wanted. However we have booked for September 2020 to make sure we get the best dates for us and will be sure to visit the Marina several times. They serve my favourite dinner special on a Thursday (Liver & Onions)!

by pj's memories (https://www.flickr.com/photos/pjsmemories/), on Flickr. Photographed on 29th September 2018.
Gravia, which is also called Kravia, depending on the local accent, is one of the islets situated north, among Corfu and the Diapontia Islands, more specifically, Mathraki. With the name Gravia, basically we refer to the big islet which we find between Arillas beach in northern Corfu and from where you can approach it by boat.

HI
A BIT OF HISTORY
A light was exhibited from a rocky islet off the norteast tip of Corfu Island at Peristeres as early as 1828. It was one of the first beacons established in Greece after the War of Independence. Peristeres means the "doves" or "pigeons".
The lighthouse was constructed by the British during their rule of the Ionian Islands. The first light may have been a simple column holding a beacon. It signaled the entrance to the narrow passage between Corfu and the mainland. By 1872 the beacon needed to be replaced and a sturdy stone tower was built. Unfortunately, the 1982 lighthouse is now in ruins due to earthquakes and attacks by German bombers during World War II. Still the Hellenic Lighthouse Service keeps a small modern beacon on the site.
The lighthouse is sometimes called "Kaparelli Light" or "Tiniozo Light". It is a quide for ships headed south out of the Adriatic Sea. The Albanian coastline is visible in the distance. The turbulent waters around the island constantly erode its shores. The intense rainstorms of the isle inspired Prospero's stormy island in Shakespeare The Tempest.
Nearest Town or City:
Kassiopi village, Corfu Isl, Greece
Location: NW of Corfu (Kerkyra) Isl.
Managing Organization:
Hydrographic Office of the Hellenic Navy
Tower Height: 17m
Description of Tower: Stone cylinder tower.
This light is operational
Date Established: 1828
Date Present Tower Built: 1872
Height of Focal Plane: 32

HI
I think it is a
Wooly Aphids
in the plant where it came from is there cotton wool like left behind on the branches white
Aphids are tiny pear shaped insects usually green, yellow, red, brown red or black in colour.
They attack plants by accumulating in numbers along stems and new growth and sucking the sap of plants.
In large numbers they deprive the plant of energy to grow and the leaves yellow and die.
These insects secrete a substance called honeydew which attracts ants that harvest the sugary substance.
It is not the ants that are causing the damage, but the sap sucking aphids.
Quite often the underside of the plants will be covered with a black sooty mould.
Pyrethrum, a natural plant substance is an effective means of control.
At the first sign of these pests it is wise to apply pyrethrum at regular intervals to control the damage that aphids do.
These are white fluffy insects that accumulate in the branch clusters and the underside of leaves on apple trees and can cause poor growth in developing fruit.
They can be controlled by methylated spirits , which kills them.
Get a cloth dab some petrol on it then wipe the branches

NO Q SO I CANNOT PLAY SNOOKER
SO A BIT OF HISTORY ON CORFU AIRPORT
(https://i.imgur.com/k4B3kEW.jpg)
Corfu International Airport "Ioannis Kapodistrias"From Wikipedia,
is a government-owned airport on the Greek island of Corfu at Kerkyra, serving both scheduled and charter flights from European cities. Air traffic peaks during the summer season, between April and October.
The Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport, named after Ioannis Kapodistrias, a distinguished Corfiot diplomat and the first governor of Greece is located around 2 kilometres south of Corfu Town, half a kilometre north of Pontikonisi. The approach and landing, in a northeasterly direction, offer the flying passengers a spectacular aerial view of Pontikonisi and Vlaherna Monastery as well as the hills of Kanoni as the runway used for landing is actually a few hundred metres away from these landmarks.
The airport was founded in 1937. During Second World War it was used by German and Italian forces as a base for transport and fighter aircraft. During the war the runway length was 600m. By the end of April 1949 the length had reached 800m. A further extension to 1260m took place by the end of 1951 to meet the then larger aircraft needs. The next and last extension of the runway began in 1957 and was completed in 1959, with a length of 2,373m. The first commercial flight took place on 19 April 1949 from Athens operated by TAE Greek National Airlines. On 2 September 1950 HELLAS also started flights to Corfu. In 1962 a small passenger terminal was built, which today accommodates the Corfu Aeroclub. In April 1965 the airport became International, with the inaugural overseas flight being operated by Olympic Airlines. The construction of the new passenger terminal began in 1968 and was completed in 1972.
In December 2015 the privatisation of Corfu International Airport and 13 other regional airports of Greece was finalised with the signing of the agreement (as a joint venture) between Fraport AG/Copelouzos Group and state privatisation fund Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund. "We signed the deal today," the head of Greece's privatisation agency HRADF, Stergios Pitsiorlas, told Reuters. According to the agreement, the joint venture will operate the 14 airports (including Corfu International Airport) for 40 years as of 11 April 2017.
On 22 March 2017, Fraport-Greece presented its master plan for the 14 regional airports including Corfu International Airport.
Immediate actions that were implemented as soon as Fraport-Greece took over operations included a general clean up of the airport, improving lighting and sanitary facilities and the markings of airside areas, as well as offering free WiFi and ensuring fire safety standards are met throughout the airport and surrounding property.
The master plan also included changes which will be implemented under Fraport-Greece's investment plan prior to 2021. They include the remodeling and expansion of the current terminal as well as the construction of a new one. A Hold Baggage inline Screening System (HBS) will improve safety and efficiency, along with the refurbishment of the airport fire service, which will benefit from the reorganization of the airport apron area including the replacement of paving in this area. Also planned is the increase of the number of check-in desks from 22 to 28, the number of departure gates to 12, as well as reorganisation of the security check lanes in the terminal.

I thought you might like to see the photo I took of the Corfu airport terminal in September 1970. I was looking out of the plane window.

She went to put them on and noticed this "fluffy stuff" deep in both , at the toe end.
The "Corfu grapevine" gives various choices such as mice or other small rodents to spiders nests ???

I'm sure he place on the previous picture is called Effiona's which a lovely stop off point for refreshments and used to be run by a friendly little old man on his own who could speak very little English.
However, It seems to get slightly bigger every year. They make a delicious frappe and very large ouzos for very cheap prices. You can sit drinking them on swing seats overlooking Arillas beach or at the back of their establishment overlooking San Stepanos.
I always tell people not to judge a book by its cover as it may not be the poshest looking place but it's immaculately clean and as always the people are so friendly.
It reminds us of Greece in the past, so next time you're on the headland don't walk on by...give it a try!

He also let us take a short cut to San Steph he's such a sweet man. I sometimes wish it was still a little wooden hut as it really did take me back to the old Greece of years ago but his improvements each year must mean that his business is doing okay which is obviously a good thing.
When you reach the letter 'E' next time Kev, you must put Erianna's.

Kev asks whether Julia & I have been on holiday this year. We had a couple of weeks in Tingaki, Kos early in May.
We have just had a week in a cottage on a farm at Hogsthorpe, which is a mile from the Lincolnshire coast - spent lots of time on the beach during the heatwave, then son & grandson visited us which is how we came to be in the hot tub at the cottage.

Son John is a Speedo wearer (black ones in the hot tub), and little William wears a sort of coverall thing. I managed without either!

Patrick... I think this is a double moon , from that Sci-fi film - "Terror of the Runaway Speedos" - Should be watched as to see, innocent passers by. smothered by speedos , lurking behind rubbish bins , and hiding in cars , is something to be remembered.!
I won't tell you the ending but salt water plays a big part in it. There were other parts in the film but we don't go there!!
(A friend of mine had a big part in this film well , until the cold sea water finale.... Hmmmmmm!)
Cheers
Negg
That all sounds quite horrific, Eggy. If the Speedos came to get you when you were quite unsuspecting it would be a terrible end. I hope your friend, who had a big part in the film, was successful in vanquishing the dreadful swimwear. I'd love to know how it all ended - it can't have been at Arillas though 'cos the sea is always warm, perhaps it was in the cold North Sea where I sometimes venture - indeed it was only last month I was at the Lincolnshire coast and was paddling there. Look out Speedos about!!

Great photos everyone!
Not looked on here for a few days so just wanted to comment about the Marina pool bar, we also thought that Daniel and Billy did a good job last year and loved the new decking area and evening drinks that were on offer which were served with the beautiful lights on the tables and nibbles. Although we haven't been to Arillas this year, we have heard lots of very positive comments about the Marina pool bar and its improved friendly atmosphere, so we're very much looking forward to using it again next year.
Can't wait!

by pj's memories (https://www.flickr.com/photos/pjsmemories/), on Flickr
For the few who are unaware Billy is Vasillis Kaloudis, co-owner of the Kaloudis Holiday Village where we regularly stay when in Arillas. He owned a speedboat and regularly gave outings in it to the little island of Ericousa (about 10 miles northwest of Corfu). We enjoyed a trip with him one holiday, but sadly ran out of fuel half a mile from home and had to be towed in.
Sadly the speedboat sank in a storm a couple of years ago.

I know Billy told me he was bringing his boat in at san Stefan when a big wave hit the boat and it sunk.The whether was not good he hasn't been the same since the accident.
He was telling me his dad had all the land going up to the Marina hotel he was showing me the photos
With all the goats and out houses they lived in a small cottage but loads of land his dad sold the land around but kept the Kaloudis where it is now

You are right Eggy to point out the hill climb - its all that lovely Greek food I eat whenever I'm over there perhaps. The hat is an old favourite sunhat which I bought in Cleethorpes many years ago. It was quite old when I wore it on honeymoon in Menorca in June 1975 - see pic below:

Nice necklass , nice shirt , and just because the guy behind him has his hand on his hip?? who am I to judge??
Anyway... years ago I had super long hair and looked liked a women. Had my bum tweeked once. (think I broke his fingers!!!)

Those 1970s days were the days of hippies and flower power. The necklace was made of plastic poppet beads - each colour had a value, and could be traded at the bar for drinks. You just snapped a few beads off when you were thirsty. Practical so you didn't have to carry money especially when going for a swim. Great holiday - experienced an earthquake early one morning which shook the bed in my little straw hut (cas in French).
Everything was conducted in French by les gentils animateurs, which made a few things a bit difficult especially when I lost 'mon razoire electrique' - got it back though, even with my schoolboy French.
So for M how about another one from 1970 at the Club Med.

G FOR GREEN CRICKET on the steps at the Tria
The main difference between a grasshopper and a cricket is that crickets tend to have long antennae, grasshoppers have short antennae. Crickets stridulate ("sing") by rubbing their wings together, while grasshoppers stridulate by rubbing their long hind legs against their wings.

Love the letter L photo of a beautiful butterfly and spectacular Lantana flowers. You see Lantana all over Corfu and it is very colourful. The black berries look inviting but I believe the green ones are poisonous although the ripe black ones are eatable - am not prepared to try it though.
Moving on to the letter M my contribution is Me & the Little MERMAID ~ photographed 12th September 2014

Yes Patrick you are right
Many produce brilliantly colored flowers and small peppercorn-looking berries that are edible when ripe. ... When foraging Lantana berries it is vital to only consume those that are entirely ripe, as the green and partially ripened berries are toxic and can be lethal.

HI Patrick
Brugmansia grow into trees, produce brown wood and are perennial in warmer climates. 99% of their flowers point down and are usually called Angels Trumpet. They produce green bean like seed pods.
Datura are annual bushes (except in climates with no frost) and do not produce brown wood. Their stems and trunks are almost always green. Their flowers point up and are mistakenly called Angels Trumpet but are acutally Devils Trumpet. They produce round, spikey or bumpy seed pods that can literally explode when ripe throwing seeds all over the place if the pod is not well hydrated. Kev you will know for next time hope this helps
I use to get these two plants mixed up all the time
people prune the Brungmansia then it turnes in to a shrub in a small place it looks good

PJ , when you are next in Arillas do not say this word to anyone. - Ask for the translation of OXO at some point. (keeps you guessing)
Negg
Hi negg
I am confused after looking at the translation.
Geoff
HI
Neil have you got a OUZO or two
Oxo=Οξο
Exo and Oxo mean both "outside". The only difference is that people from some regions or islands use "oxo" more, when people from cities like athens use "exo" more.

Depends on the spelling and in what context it is used, Kevin.
A lot like μαλάκα - Can be friendly/jovial unless, for example, you shout it at the car driver who pulls out in front of you.
Negg
I know what that means that was my first Greek word
Grandad told me
We was on a trip and the coach driver shouted out you μαλακα we started to laugh and the driver said you know ?
We all said yes

Hi
You look a bit suspicious standing in the shadows. Were you on a stake out?
Geoff
Shame on you , Geoff !! - PJ makes the effort to keep us, and the Forum in the cycle of Corfu life , with interesting pics, and you jest with him.!!
Can you not see he was about to break into song?? - That is a microphone, in his hand , is it not??
Anyway ...... N could be for a New look planned at Marina Pool Bar , this Summer.

Hi
He looks suspicious as though he was incognito as he wasn't in his Speedo's.
What song would you suggest he was about serenade us with?
Geoff
Now then !!! - Patrick John... this is an answer for you and I know tis off topic.
but.... on those steps, and if you were to break into song, what little tune would it be???
(and nothing to do with speedos, so the Rolling Stone's Little Red Rooster is not allowed!!)
Keep smiling and watch out for any facebook comments

Hi Pat
Dont take offence.

Remember what I said before in a PM
Geoff
Most of my holiday pictures feature either my wife or me. Since my wife doesn't like photographs of her in her swimsuit being published in the media, with a few exceptions, most of my photographs include me. Since I spend most of my holiday time on the beach inevitably a large proportion of my photos are of me in my swimsuit.
Years ago I decided that photos of scenery were fairly irrelevant when placed in the family photo album and people wanted to see the family in whatever place we were visiting so almost all of my photos recording holidays do just that and put one or other family member in the picture.
Am sorry that Sharon doesn't like what she sees, and I wonder how she would fare if she visited the North Beach.
Call that a snorkel????

PJ - Good to see somewhere, on the beach, where you can park yer bike.,
Negg
Ho! Ho! Negg - you are incorrigible!
I love Patrick's photos they always bring a smile 😃 to.my face and it's lovely see both of them so happy sitting on the balcony with a cup of tea and when I'm trying to hide me is my bathing costume I wish I was unselfconcious as Patrick
We first came to Kaloudis 20 years ago this June and will hopefully be there in August with our daughter son in law granddaughter and grandson. He will be three by then and I'm trying to get him to say Kalamira Rula because she's always telling me I should speak more Greek by now
Hopefully things will have recovered and we will do all the things we are hoping to.

Thanks for the kind comment June - much appreciated. You clearly love Arillas and the Kaloudis as much as we do and we are hoping our late September booking goes ahead.

Most of my holiday pictures feature either my wife or me. Since my wife doesn't like photographs of her in her swimsuit being published in the media, with a few exceptions, most of my photographs include me. Since I spend most of my holiday time on the beach inevitably a large proportion of my photos are of me in my swimsuit.
Years ago I decided that photos of scenery were fairly irrelevant when placed in the family photo album and people wanted to see the family in whatever place we were visiting so almost all of my photos recording holidays do just that and put one or other family member in the picture.
Am sorry that Sharon doesn't like what she sees, and I wonder how she would fare if she visited the North Beach.
I must admit I thought why are there so many pictures of Pat in his tiny little buggies, Can he not be botherd to take any of the lovely views. Anyway at least this explains it. At least Sharon botherd to get onto the forum, the fact that she thought she was going to see some great pictures of Arillas and just saw Patrick is neither here or there, and knowing Sharon I do actually think it was just a bit of sarcasm and not meant to offend anybody.

Don't know why the quote posted anyway I have to admit that I often wonderd why we see so many photos of Pat in his tiny buggies and thought maybe he just cant be botherd to take some of the lovely views. It has now been explaned.
As far as Sharon,s comments she came back on to the forum to join us all again and went on expecting to see some great photos of Arillas lf she just went into the last page, there were not any and knowing Sharon I think it was just a bit of sarcasm and not meant to offend anyone. XX
When I was the inspector in charge of police cadets we used to provide lifeguard cover on two beaches on the Lincolnshire coast each summer. This involved teaching lifesaving skills during the winter and spring ready for the season. I used to join the cadets in the pool occasionally during their practice, and so my uniform on those occasions was a pair of Speedos. The photo taken at Chapel St. Leonards relates to me being interviewed by Edwina Tarperly of Calendar (Yorkshire TV) in July 1977 as the cadets prepare to launch their rescue dinghy

Hi
I think Patrick, you would have been proud to have had Eggy you under your command in the Linc police force, for his powers of observation alone.
Geoff
You may be right, Geoff, however I fear he could be responsible for a number of false alarms, as he tends to see dinosaurs and false appendages wherever he goes. He would need very careful supervision! Something says Don Quixote to me! Regards Pat
I had a donkey, once , and I called it "Hotey" - People said , "What's that?" - I said "Donkey Hotey".
and.... never mentioned in your pic, PJ , that I thought your bumbag had slipped down!!
Negg
Dear Negg - You are incorrigible! When I was a policeman I was taught to look out for 'incorrigible rogues' and arrest them under the Vagrancy Act 1824. Have just looked it up and it is still an active piece of legislation. Good job I've been retired for 28 years though. Best wishes - PJ

Hi Vivian
Just remembered it is a squilla
Description Drimia maritima is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae. This species is known by several common names, including squill, sea squill, sea onion, and maritime squill. It may also be called red squill, particularly a form which produces red-tinged flowers instead of white.

Y FOR YELLOW BRUGMANSIA Angel's trumpets Angel's Trumpet: Brugmansia saueolens has richly scented, lily-like trumpets that hang down. The flowers are intoxicatingly fragrant in the evening.
All parts of angel's trumpets are considered poisonous and contain the alkaloids atropine, scopolamine, and hyoscyamine. Ingestion of the plants can cause disturbing hallucinations, paralysis, tachycardia, and memory loss and can be fatal.

Hi PJ - This photo has plagued me for a while so I have to ask....
....... is that a skull cap your good lady is pressing down on??
....... is it a colour co-ordinated matching speedo skull cap??
....... and , were you wearing it at the time???
so........., is this the only way she can keep you out of the photos??
Cheers
Negg
I'm sorry to disappoint you, Eggy, but it was not me being gently drowned by my dear wife. It was a ball which we had been playing with in the pool.
She is the one who takes most of those photos of me. She is usually reluctant to feature in them herself.
Her favourite colour is blue, and I like the blue/green/yellow end of the spectrum so those are the colours we often go for.
Please keep up with your witty observations - they are helping get through this rather tedious lockdown. However my garden is having more attention than usual, and I've researched and added several new folk to the family tree.
Best wishes
Pat

Hi
That looks like a Carpenter Bee
Carpenter bees are species in the genus Xylocopa of the subfamily Xylocopinae. The genus includes some 500 bees in 31 subgenera. The common name "carpenter bee" derives from their nesting behavior; nearly all species burrow into hard plant material such as dead wood or bamboo. The main exceptions are species in the subgenus Proxylocopa; they dig nesting tunnels in suitable soil.
Kevin
You could be right Kev, but all the carpenter bees I have seen have much more fragile and thinner wings.
The only Carpenter Bees that I have seen were carrying a handsaw and pencil.

HEADS YOU WIN TAILS I LOSE
Hi
What are the legal measures of alcohol in Greece in licensed premises.?
Never managed to find out.
Beer and spirit measures can vary dramatically depending where you are. Proberly the same throughout Europe.
In the UK if I am served a short draught pint I always ask for a ''top up''
With spirits its easy as a legal measure is used.
Can anybody enlighten me?
Geoff

- Go with the flo... If the bottle "slips" when they pour it, tis a problem not. - I nver ask about measures in case they start to measure them!

I think you should wave from the bench outside Thalassa and see who can "spot" you first. Maybe a free Ouzo for the winner? :-).
I once got my mum and dad to do this when they were there and we weren't! People were looking at them like they were demented lol but then someone went up to them (Pat I think) and said I don't suppose you are waving to Jo Wissett are you? Haha. I had put something on the forum saying to watch out for them. The wonders of technology!
I have done the same thing and all the diners in Thalassa must have thought I was mad. Maybe they were right, but it does you good to do mad things.

It's great that they've now got a larger seating area outside with lovely tables. We came off the beach quite late one evening last year and bought some beer and wine from there. We wanted to sit on one of their tables outside but unfortunately they were all taken so it's great to see they've expanded.
They sell some delicious sweet and savoury pastries too!

Hi Pat, lets see if a certain ex Pat comes back with an answer first, not in the Arillas but im sure if your a walker you would have passed them. Pete and I must have past them about a dozen times before we realised we could get back that way.

OK Pat, I will do X for you Xylophone
No picture this time because Z is Greek Zenia which is a lady that is Welcoming, Hospitable and Friendly and all the ladys I know from Arillas are that.

Ok somebody pretending they didn't see the message. lol. As you go into St. George just before you get to the beach if you look to your left as facing the sea. There are some trees and just behind them is a little path leading up to Porto Timoni and the steps are up there. Not a quick way home and not very safe a steep climb, but it was a great experience.

Good to see you keep a spare 2 euro on the top of yer head , Kevin.
(I always wondered why you did that but was too embarrassed to ask - Last saw you wearing that at Tria- probably the same one)
Yianis at Tria said he is only filling half the pool so it will be up to you to guess which half is full when you jump in.

Forgot to say , Viv, but that was a super A
and.... a bit of history for you.
Did you know Achilles was only 2 ft , 6 inches high and killed his adversaries by biting their legs??
This is how the term "Achilles Heel" came to pass.
Cheers
Negg
Hi
Another bit of history
Achille's Heel is a term derived from the Greek hero (as you know). His mother held him by his heel while dipping him into the River Styx to make him immortal. This left his heel vunerable. He was eventually killed by an arrow shot into his heel.
Geoff
Geoff - Trust you to spoil it. - and it wasn't the arrow that did away with him.- He was wearing asbestos socks and the arrow punctured his skin allowing the asbestos to enter his blood stem.
Negg
Hi
Sorry
Geoff
Geoff - Forgiven as long as you don't mention the plastic horse!!
C will be for Caution -
- "No Trespassing" means "No Trespassing" (Even if you have to get up close to read the sign.)

Try this Sonia. It's not as good as Kevins instructions but it may help
1. Save your picture to your computer desktop (or somewhere you can find it easily).
2. Use the Browse folder in Lunapic to find the image you want to upload.
3. You will see that you have options to crop, scale or rotate. If the image is large, pick scale and reduce.
4. APPLY the resultant new size.
5. Scroll to the bottom for the Save options and click on Imgur.
6. Copy everything in the Image URL window and use the link to repost the image using the picture icon in reply.
Thanks Terry. That all sounds familiar now.

when it became broken, it just laid where it was for a while, then her husband and herself decided they would make it into a masterpiece for the shop, after quite a few years of saying ( one day I will have that in me house ) she got a carpenter friend) to make a box for it and sent it to its new home with us, It will always be treasured and is actually called Amphorae.

PJ ... I see the mermaid looking down at you. - Is she saying "Wot no Speedos??"
Negg
Eggy: I think the mermaid must have known she was not long for the world. A couple of hours after that photo was taken the vandals did their worst and that was the end of the Arillas mermaid. (Putting on my professional hat I'd say she should have been sited where people could keep her in sight - that is the best way to deter vandals.)

PJ - It has a basic meaning of "Many Years" - Used at Birthdays , Easter , Christmas , religous days etc.
You are wishing all "Many years of good health" - Generally painted, outside houses, on the roads especially at Paska(Easter)
Wishing you both a safe an non stressful trip. Hope they don't find those speedos, in yer case, as they will not only test you for Covid but also for sanity!! -

HI Vivian
The beetle is a the Rose Chafer, Cetonia aurata.
The Rose chafer can be spotted on garden flowers, as well as in grassland, woodland edges and scrub. Although considered a garden pest, it is an important recycler of nutrients, feeding on decaying matter.
Rose chafer grubs eat the roots of grass and weeds. Adult rose chafers feed primarily on flower blossoms, especially roses and peonies, causing large, irregular holes. They also damage fruits particularly grape, raspberry and strawberry.
kevin
We get many of these in our composters. Quite a large grub. We leave throw them back, when taking out good compost, and when they are ready to fly off they go.
The only pic, that I have, of the grubs comes from this old "April Fool" joke.

First from my recent Arillas Holiday
Regards
Pat
Hope your holiday was good and the weather not too unkind though the webcam hasn't looked good many days
Also hope Kaloudis was as good as ever and not many changes
Look forward to more photos
Thanks for the good wishes, June. There were three storms during our stay - lots of lightning and thunder plus torrential rain. However the sun shone much of the rest of the time and the beach began to recover from a real battering. Kaloudis Holiday Village was as welcoming as ever presided over by Christa & Roula with great help from receptionist Marielanie (who did our PLFs for us).
Hoping to post a few photos as the alphabet progresses.
Best wishes - Pat
PJ - I missed you. But if I look very carefully, at the Flamingo Pic, I can see you bending over in the background, wearing a blue cap!!!
No wonder the birds are looking away!
Negg
I saw you and Julia on the beach last week PJ. Julia and I were comparing our treasures - her quartz and my shells!
Eggy: Sorry we didn't meet up. 'Fraid your eyesight must by seeing something I can't see in the flamingo pic. Did you ever find your reading glasses?
Daisy'sMum: Yes saw you on the beach chatting to Julia - she really enjoys looking for quarts pebbles - we have a jarful here to admire.
Best wishes
Pat
Hi Patrick
I hope you and Julia had a fantastic time it doesn't matter about the rain you was out in Arillas with friends
Anyway the lightning is good to watch

Local Police acted , very quickly, and very soon there was
evidence "on the table" to ensure a quick arrest.

H FOR HEADLAND Headlands are formed when the sea attacks a section of coast with alternating bands of hard and soft rock. The bands of soft rock, such as sand and clay, erode more quickly than those of more resistant rock, such as chalk. This leaves a section of land jutting out into the sea called a headland.

You are quite correct about our flag.

HI Neil
Latin name Eriosoma lanigerum
Common name Woolly aphid also known as American blight
Main symptoms Lumpy swellings on the bark and, in summer, colonies of aphids covered in white fluff on the trunk and branches
Woolly Aphid Control
Since severe woolly aphid attacks rarely occur, there is little need for woolly aphid pesticide for control. Generally, their numbers are kept low with natural predators like lacewings, ladybugs, hover flies, and parasitic wasps. If desired, you can spot treat where the aphids are most abundant using insecticidal soap or neem oil. You can also prune out and destroy infested branches when feasible. When chemical control is deemed necessary, woolly aphid insecticide such as acephate (Orthene) can be used to control these pests.
NEIL you can use some cotton wool dipped in methylated spirits and just wipe the stems the white fluffy stuffhttps://arillas.com/forum/index.php/topic,2310.msg141287.html#msg141287
(https://i.imgur.com/Ld5CwDS.jpg)
Although the Woolly Aphids are not dangerous or poisonous to humans they're considered a notable nuisance; the irritant itself comes from what the Woolly Aphids produce - honeydew. ... The tiny sap feeders may probe the skin, giving a small bite sensation but they do not feed on humans or pets.

I think this is whats called a Dog Sun
Hi
Description
Description a sun dog or mock sun, formally called a parhelion in meteorology, is an atmospheric optical phenomenon that consists of a bright spot to one or both sides of the Sun. Two sun dogs often flank the Sun within a 22° halo.
Is this the new world , Kevin. ?
If so we should call it the "New Sun Doggy Fashion" ???

Twas end of September, last year, when I sent them a mail. They seem to be well but obviously missing Arillas and , with lockdown , couldn't get to their favourite local.
Like all of us ...who still can't.
Cheers to you both

Both doing fine, still no trips to the local but they are in good spirits and keeping well.

L FOR LIGHTHOUSE PERISTERES aka KAPARELLI NEAR KASSIOPI
A light was exhibited from a rocky islet off the norteast tip of Corfu Island at Peristeres as early as 1828. It was one of the first beacons established in Greece after the War of Independence. Peristeres means the "doves" or "pigeons".
The lighthouse was constructed by the British during their rule of the Ionian Islands. The first light may have been a simple column holding a beacon. It signaled the entrance to the narrow passage between Corfu and the mainland. By 1872 the beacon needed to be replaced and a sturdy stone tower was built. Unfortunately, the 1982 lighthouse is now in ruins due to earthquakes and attacks by German bombers during World War II. Still the Hellenic Lighthouse Service keeps a small modern beacon on the site.
The lighthouse is sometimes called "Kaparelli Light" or "Tiniozo Light". It is a quide for ships headed south out of the Adriatic Sea. The Albanian coastline is visible in the distance. The turbulent waters around the island constantly erode its shores. The intense rainstorms of the isle inspired Prospero's stormy island in Shakespeare The Tempest.

Visited in 2014 with friends Paul & Heather Diamond. A very interesting place which is well worth seeking out. I remember finding a walnut tree in the village with loads of walnuts on the ground just waiting for me to enjoy.

The Pontic lyra (or kemenche) is a 3 stringed musical instrument played primarily by those living in the historic Pontus region of north eastern Turkey and those who reside in the northern parts of Greece who originated from there. It is also known as the Pontian lyra, Pontic fiddle or kemençe (kemenche). It is without doubt the musical instrument that defines Pontic culture, and has a very distinct melody unlike any other instrument.
The Pontic lyra comprises a narrow box shaped body which includes a neck and a pegbox, and a soundboard which covers the body. The body is either made by hollowing out a single piece of wood, or by gluing pieces together. The best lyra are said to be made of extremely dense wood such as plum, mulberry and walnut. Cedar is sometimes used. The soundboard is made of pine or spruce.

After a double Ouzo anyone could see why Viv confuses EYTYXIA with Brouklis.
Easy done and I still get confused to which side of the road I drive. (But a double Ouzo sorts that out!)

H FOR HIPPOMOBILE horse-drawn vehicle at the old prison on Vidos
This wooded island is located in the bay opposite Corfu Town. The name Vidos comes from the time that the French ruled over Corfu. Another story says that it comes from one of the Venetian owners, Guido Maliepierie, and that the island was named after him. Guido became "Vido" and than later the "s" was added. Which story is the real one I do not know... Since 1993 the island of is a protected nature reserve.
During the Brittish occupation of Corfu Vidos was used as a prison island and the British built an almost impenetrable fortress. When they left the island in 1863 they demolished everything including the church of Agios Stefanos

HI
I think it is a Caspian whipsnake The Caspian whipsnake (Dolichophis caspius, sometimes also Coluber caspius) also known as the large whipsnake (among various other species in genus Dolichophis/Coluber), is a common species of whipsnake found in the Balkans and parts of Eastern Europe.
The Caspian whipsnake is perhaps the largest species of snake in Europe. It typically grows to around 140–160 cm (55–63 in) in length, though a few may exceed a length of 200 cm (79 in). The record sized specimen was approximately 250 cm (98 in)[1][2] This species is not venomous and is mostly active during the day. The head is joined to the body by a thick neck. Its pupils are round. Nineteen rows of smooth scales can be found at the middle body, though rarely there may be seventeen. Dorsal scales each have two apical pits at the posterior edge. The centre of the scale is lighter in colour than the edges.[1] The dorsal side is grey-brown and features markings which are distinctive in juveniles and young snakes but fade with age. The ventral side is light yellow or white.

Hello have you got anything for me.
HI
I FOR ICONOSTASIS
Iconostasis If you have ever driven in Greece, especially on the narrow and curved roads in the countryside, you may have noticed the small stone or metallic boxes (iconostasis). These are not mail or phone boxes as many think so. They are shrines that represent the remembrance of a road accident at that location where somebody lost his life or just survived. An Orthodox Saint icon, a candle, a box of matches or lighter, a small bottle with Greek olive oil and a box of wicks are some of the things that you will find in these roadside shrines. Relatives of the dead or the survivors visit the place occasionally to light the candle and pray for their souls.
In Eastern Christianity, an iconostasis (Greek: εἰκονοστάσιον) is a wall of icons and religious paintings, separating the nave from the sanctuary in a church. Iconostasis also refers to a portable icon stand that can be placed anywhere within a church. The iconostasis evolved from the Byzantine templon, a process complete by the 15th century.
A direct comparison for the function of the main iconostasis can be made to the layout of the great Temple in Jerusalem. That Temple was designed with three parts. The holiest and inner-most portion was that where the Ark of the Covenant was kept. This portion, the Holy of Holies, was separated from the second larger part of the building's interior by a curtain, the "veil of the temple". Only the High Priest was allowed to enter the Holy of Holies. The third part was the entrance court. This architectural tradition for the two main parts can be seen carried forward in Christian churches and is still most demonstratively present in Eastern Orthodox churches where the iconostasis divides the altar, the Holy of Holies where the Eucharist is performed – the manifestation of the New Covenant – from the larger portion of the church accessible to the faithful. In the Eastern Orthodox tradition only men can enter the altar portion behind the iconostasis. However one will see women serving behind the iconostasis at female monasteries.
The word comes from the Greek εἰκονοστάσι(-ον) (eikonostási(-on), still in common use in Greece and Cyprus), which means "icon stand".

I had a very good time thank you, The Saturday was very emotional, can you imagine getting to a briefing and being told. You will carry the banner and will be in charge of 4000 foot solders, behind you and if you go wrong they go down with you because there will be No breaking rank. I was full of stress until I found out that the lone Piper would be right beside me. Once we had passed the Cenotaph I felt a lot better and we finished the march at Westminster. Then the fun began and 2000 bikes turned up in Rolling Thunder, we all had one big meeting and when we got of to the pubs we didnt stop singing all night. Next day the police said how well it had gone and we thanked them. The next day I had to go you know where and had a very plesant 2 hrs. Not going to put anymore on. Apart from the fact that I would still rather be in Arillas. Thanks Kev
Excellent !
Well done Viv 👍

C FOR CHURCH BELLS
At the local Church and old school of Arillas village which is about one and a half km from the beach on the way to Magoulades on the main road.
The Analipsi festival is the oldest festival in Arillas. It's celebrated every year on Ascension day (Analipsi in Greek), the day Jesus rose to heaven, 50 days after Easter. The festival is held in honour of the day in the courtyard of the Arillas church, which is also dedicated to Ascension. The date it's held is different every year, as Easter also moves, but in general it's somewhere in May-June.
The previous evening (Ascension eve), a big pot of goat stew in a spicy tomato sauce is prepared and shared with all the villagers. Whatever is left over, is served the next evening at the Paniyiri (festival), along with large amounts of souvlakia, sausages and Corfu Beer! There is a live band playing traditional music, the Arillas Dance club performs traditional dances and then it's "Choros yia olous", Dance for everyone! It's the festival with the smallest amount of tourists, and that gives it a very special atmosphere. The tourists who are present always enjoy this chance to take part in an authentic Corfiot Paniyiri! A couple of years ago, David of Corfu Films managed to capture this unique atmosphere in a very intimate video:

HI Patrick
This will help you to tell the difference
The plant, which is commonly called a devil's trumpet, resembles a brugmansia plant (angel's trumpet). The major difference in the two plants is that the datura (devil's trumpet) has large trumpet shaped blossoms that stand up straight, instead of pointing downward in the manner of an Brugmansia angel's trumpet.

Vino- comes from the Latin vīnum, meaning "wine." The English word wine also ultimately comes from the Latin vīnum.
The earliest evidence of Greek wine has been dated to 6,500 years ago where wine was produced on a household or communal basis. In ancient times, as trade in wine became extensive, it was transported from end to end of the Mediterranean; Greek wine had especially high prestige in Italy under the Roman Empire.

D FOR DOLMADES ( Dolmathes ) (Ντολμάδες)
(https://i.imgur.com/sNBS0MS.jpg) KEV AUG 2021
Dolma is a family of stuffed dishes from Ottoman cuisine that can be served warm or cold. Some types of dolma are made with whole vegetables, fruit, offal or seafood, while others are made by wrapping leaves, most commonly grape or cabbage leaves, around the filling. Wrapped dolma, specifically, are also known as sarma.
History
Stuffed vegetable dishes have been a part of Middle Eastern cuisine for centuries. Recipes for stuffed eggplant have been found in Medieval Arabic cookbooks and, in Ancient Greek cuisine, fig leaves stuffed with sweetened cheese were called thrion.
The Iranian variety has been traced to at least the 17th-century. During the 19th-century several varieties were recorded by Naser al-Din Shah Qajar's chef, including stuffed vine leaves, cabbage leaves, cucumbers, eggplants, apples, and quinces, with varied fillings prepared with ground meat, sauteed mint leaves, rice and saffron.
Cabbage rolls entered Swedish cuisine (where they are known as kåldolmar) after Charles XII, defeated by the Russians at the battle of Poltava, returned to Sweden in 1715 with his Turkish creditors and their cooks.
The origins of stuffed vine leaves are unknown. They are known as dolme in Iran, dolmades in Greece, tolma in Armenia, and yebra in Syria. Some Israelis may use leaves picked from the local mulberry trees

PJ - Ex copper? - says "evening"? surely it should be "Evening All !!!"
Negg
Eggy is quite right. Ever since the days of Dixon of Dock Green the proper copper's greeting has been "Evenin' All" .
Mind you, I was more of a fan of PC 49, who used to be on the wireless (as we called it then). His name was Archibald Berkeley Willoughby, and when things hotted up his catchphrase was "Oh, my Sunday helmet!"
My other favourite was Dick Barton, Special Agent which got ditched when the Archers began in its place.
As a result I went over to 208 metres - the station of the stars - Radio Luxembourg - which broadcast Dan Dare - Pilot of the Future.
I love going down Memory Lane.
Best wishes
Pat
PJ - The Pilot of the future.
I was mistaken for him once...
.... I went past a tall scaffold and shouted "Hello up there"
the quick reply was "Hello Dan Dare"

The Ornate wrasse (Γαϊτανούρι), Thalassoma pavo, is a species of wrasse native to the rocky coasts of the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. This species is of minor importance to local commercial fisheries, is also popular as a game fish, and can be found in the aquarium trade.
Ornate wrasse, Thalassoma pavo, like to eat the tube feet of sea urchins, but as the urchins keep their feet buried in the sea bed the wrasse can't get to them easily if you breake one open the fish go into a frenzy

HI
Not a photo but some information on the plants we see around us
X FOR XYLEM
Xylem Definition
Xylem is a vascular tissue that transports water and dissolved minerals absorbed from the roots to the rest of the plant.
The term xylem is derived from the Greek word 'xylon' which means wood as the best-known xylem tissues are found in the woody part of the stem.
When observed under the microscope, xylem tissue has a star-like appearance.
The cells in this tissue are mostly dead cells, and the cells are lignified. The cell wall is thick and made up of lignin which aids in its function of providing support.
Xylem is present at the center of vascular bundles where the transport of water and mineral is unidirectional. The quantity of xylem is more than the phloem in these bundles.
Xylem tissue is made up of several kinds of cells. Tracheids or trachery elements are specialized, water-conducting cells that help in transport as well as provide physical support.
The next groups of cells are vessel elements that are shorter than tracheids but also help in transport. Vessel membranes have perforations through which the water and dissolved minerals are conducted.
Vessel elements are found in flowering plants where they are connected to form one continuous vessel. These elements are found not in gymnosperms.
Besides, xylem also contains parenchyma that provides support to the plant in the form of long fibers in the soft parts of the plant.
The initial development of xylem occurs from the active root cells and apical meristem, which give rise to primary xylem.
In hard and woody plants, secondary xylem develops as rings around the primary xylem as the plant expands in girth.
Ultimately, the primary xylem dies and loses its conducting function but acts as a skeleton providing physical support.
The secondary xylem continues to function as a water-conducting tissue.
In mature and woody plants, the wood or xylem is differentiated into heartwood and sapwood. The heart represents the primary xylem and provides mechanical strength, whereas the sapwood is the secondary xylem that conducts water and minerals.
The transport of water and minerals in the xylem is a passive process where no energy is required for the transport of these substances.
The functions of xylem include replacing the water lost during photosynthesis and transpiration by absorbing it from the root and providing physical support.

Q FOR QUOD [prison] on Vidos island
Vidos Island is a small island about 530 acres of fresh green nature. It is located right across from the old port, not even 2 km away. Vidos Island is full of history that goes back to ancient times. It has been owned by many different people and countries since as far back as we know.
Agios Stefanos was the first church to be built on this beautiful on by the apostles of Corfu in 80 AD. Which is what the island used to be called, Agios Stefanos. After many years when the Venetians were in Control of Corfu, Vidos island was owned by a wealthy Italian. He eventually changed the name to Maliepiero Island (his last name). However, soon after he was gone and the Greeks switched the name to Vidos Island.
Many Serbians came to Corfu, finding refuge after being at war with Austria during the first world war. Unfortunately, many of them did not survive, eventually dying from different illnesses. In 1936, they built a Mausoleum for the fallen soldiers.
Soon after in 1918 Vidos became a prison, much like Alcatraz! Although, Vidos held prisoners during the war. It is said that there used to be a tunnel going from the old fortress all the way to the island.
Vido Island just like Corfu is a place for nature lovers. There are plenty of trails to hike on this small little island if you get a little bored enjoying sunbathing on the beach! There are many caves you can also visit and wonder around.
The water is crystal clear while the beaches are gorgeous. There is a boat that goes to vidos island every hours. It only takes 10 minutes and costs 5 euros. Not many people know about Vidos island, but it is a great place to get away on your getaway!
There is only one restaurant on this island, but even being so, the prices are decent and the food is great! Fish fresh from the sea you swim in!
There are 3 beaches to choose from that will all let you relax while slowly darkening that skin!
The small, wooded isle of Vidos lies just half a mile from Corfu Town's Old Port, allowing you to glimpse the
historical buildings of the Old Town and St. Spiridon's church, framed by pine trees and clear blue sea. Known in ancient times as the Island of Hera, sister of Zeus and goddess of marriage, the seemingly tranquil paradise of Vidos has lived through much history. Under Venetian rule, which dominated Corfu Greece from the 15th century to the early 18th century, tunnels were built linking Vidos with the main island. Criminals were tried at the Old Fortress in Corfu Town, and then transported through the tunnels to Vidos island , which was once Corfu's 'Alcatraz'
The isolated remains of the prison and its solitary confinement area can still be found today. Vidosisland had
always been a strategic point in Corfu's defences, and following the departure of the Venetians, Vidos island was fortified under French governance. Vidos also gained its name from the French. The last foreign power in Corfu was the British, who turned Vidos into an almost impenetrable fortress, before destroying their own and all the previous fortifications on their departure. They also demolished the church of Agios Stefanos, which had been built by the
Saints Jason and Sosipatros. A final chapter in Vidos' island history came during the First World War.
By following forest paths, you can discover the haunting Serbian Mausoleum, monument to some 1,232 Serbian soldiers who lost their lives to plague and starvation while defending Corfu's freedom. Inside, all of the soldiers are commemorated and offerings of flowers and candles are strewn amongst the photographs and memories.
A memorial book is also provided for those who wish to add their gratitude and thoughts. Today, the island of Vidos is a more peaceful escape, and a favourite amongst Greeks and tourists alike. The pine-strewn paths lead you through the island's history, but also to its present beauty. Stunning, secluded beaches and quiet forest spots can be found, as well as a sole taverna at which you can enjoy the traditional food and spectacular view across the sea to Corfu Town.
Another point of interest is a beautiful old house, which was used in the filming of 'Fedora', a 1970s film set in
Corfu and starring Michael York. Vidos also accommodates the Kerkyra Bird and Wildlife sanctuary, and you will come across the wild rabbits, pheasants and goats who call Vidos home as you explore Corfu island.
Many resorts on the East coast of Corfu offer organised excursions to Vidos island , but it is also possible to visit the
island using a regular boat service from Corfu Town's (Kerkyra)Old Port

Here is a bit of information about wind NO not that wind Neil
W FOR WAVES
The ocean is never still. Whether observing from the beach or a boat, we expect to see waves on the horizon. Waves are created by energy passing through water, causing it to move in a circular motion. However, water does not actually travel in waves. Waves transmit energy, not water, across the ocean and if not obstructed by anything, they have the potential to travel across an entire ocean basin.
Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. These types of waves are found globally across the open ocean and along the coast.
More potentially hazardous waves can be caused by severe weather, like a hurricane. The strong winds and pressure from this type of severe storm causes storm surge, a series of long waves that are created far from shore in deeper water and intensify as they move closer to land. Other hazardous waves can be caused by underwater disturbances that displace large amounts of water quickly such as earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic eruptions. These very long waves are called tsunamis. Storm surge and tsunamis are not the types of waves you imagine crashing down on the shore. These waves roll upon the shore like a massive sea level rise and can reach far distances inland.
The gravitational pull of the sun and moon on the earth also causes waves. These waves are tides or, in other words, tidal waves. It is a common misconception that a tidal wave is also a tsunami. The cause of tsunamis are not related to tide information at all but can occur in any tidal state.
Waves transmit energy, not water, and are commonly caused by the wind as it blows across the ocean, lakes, and rivers. Waves caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and the sun are called tides. The ebb and flow of waves and tides are the life force of our world ocean.

X FOR XYSTON short pike used by Greek heavy cavalry Photo taken in a shop in Sidari
Here is a bit of information and History about a xyston
The xyston (Ancient Greek: ξυστόν "spear, javelin; pointed or spiked stick, goad (lit. 'shaved')"), a derivative of the verb ξύω "scrape, shave", was a type of a long thrusting spear in ancient Greece. It measured about 3.5 to 4.25 m (11 to 14 ft) long and was probably held by the cavalryman with both hands, although the depiction of Alexander the Great's xyston on the Alexander Mosaic in Pompeii suggests that it could also be used single handed. It had a wooden shaft and a spear-point at both ends. Possible reasons for the secondary spear-tip were that it acted partly as a counterweight and also served as a backup in case the xyston was broken in action. The xyston is usually mentioned in context with the hetairoi (ἑταῖροι), the cavalry forces of ancient Macedon. After Alexander the Great's death, the hetairoi were named xystophoroi (ξυστοφόροι, "spear-bearers") because of their use of the xyston lance. In his Greek-written Bellum Judaicum, the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus uses the term xyston to describe the Roman throwing javelin, the pilum.
The xyston was wielded either underarm or overarm, presumably as a matter of personal preference. It was also known, especially later, as the kontos; meaning literally "barge-pole"; the name possibly originated as a slang term for the weapon.
Cornus Mas, also known as the cornelian cherry, is common in the wood mountains that surround Macedonia, ranging from areas in the Balkans and into Syria; some specific locations are Mt. Olympus, Phthiotis, Aetolia, Arcadia, Laconis.
This cornel wood was used for the spear, because of its elasticity and hardness, making it very durable and a good material for spears, javelins, and bows. The cornel wood was effective compared to other woods, for uses such as these.
The wood, despite being used for a spear that was so long, was able to withstand the weight of itself; it was tough enough to not need thickness to balance the weight of its length, while still maintaining its elasticity.
Cornus Mas became so valued and widely used, that in the fourth and third centuries it was used in poetry to note the word spear.

What is Thalassa the god of? Storm giants and fish; Halia, Aphrodite. In Greek mythology, Thalassa (/θəˈlæsə/; Greek: Θάλασσα, translit. Thálassa, lit. "sea") was the primeval spirit of the sea.
THALASSA was the primordial goddess (protogenos) of the sea. Mingled with Pontos (Pontus), her male counterpart, she produced the fish and other sea creatures. Thalassa was the literal body of the sea and in the fables of Aesop, manifests as a woman formed of sea-water rising from her native element.
Poseidon and Amphitrite, the anthropomorphic king and queen of the sea, were the rulers of the elemental Pontos and Thalassa.
Thalassa is depicted in Greco-Roman mosaics as a matronly woman, half-submerged in the sea, with crab-claw horns, seaweed for clothes, and a ship's oar in her hand.

D FOR DELTA=ΔΕΛΤΑ
THE HISTORY OF DELTA
1952: Aristides Daskalopoulos establishes DELTA, a family business producing and selling dairy products in Athens. The company employs 20 people and distributes milk and yoghurt through its fleet of 10 vehicles. Since then, DELTA has continued growing in a steadfast and sustained manner, and today DELTA products dominate the dairy products market.
1965: DELTA relocates to its present premises in Tavros and installs a milk pasteurisation and plastic bottling unit, one of the largest investments in its time, whilst four years later, in 1969, the first frozen fruit and vegetable production line is created in Greece under the name EVIE MICHAILIDES S.A. (Barba Stathis).
1987: DELTA takes the lead by adopting the carton packaging for Fresh Milk and is the first to introduce milk homogenisation in Greece, whilst two years later (1989) DELTA makes a dynamic entry into the short life juice market.
1990: The frozen food sector becomes independent with the establishment of Barba Stathis S.A. A year later (1991) Barba Stathis S.A. is listed on the Athens Stock Exchange. At the same time, the Goody's Group is born and gradually takes shape with several main shareholders in the company acquiring stakes in related companies; a landmark year in Goody's course, also because of the advent of multinational competition.
1994: DELTA S.A. acquires the majority of the share capital in Barba Stathis S.A. and inaugurates the new, fully automated yoghurt factory in Aghios Stefanos, whilst Goody's is listed on the Athens Stock Exchange. At the same time, the first cake shop-café of the Flocafe chain is inaugurated -Goody's second label- known for its large variety with 27 different kinds of coffee. A year later (1995) Barba Stathis S.A. merges with FROZA S.A. (a DELTA S.A. subsidiary), with the latter being absorbed by the former.
1997: Goody's expands beyond Greek borders, operating its first restaurants in Cyprus and Bulgaria. At the end of the 1990s, General Foods – Barba Stathis S.A. buy a majority stake in MAKEDONIKI SFOLIATA.
2000: DELTA becomes a holding company, DELTA HOLDING S.A. The food and ice cream divisions become independent companies under the names DELTA PROTYPOS VIOMICHANIA GALAKTOS S.A. (DELTA DAIRY INDUSTRY S.A.) and DELTA VIOMICHANIA PAGOTOU S.A. (DELTA ICE CREAM INDUSTRY S.A.) respectively. In the same year, following the demise of DELTA's Founder and President, Aristides Daskalopoulos, his son, Dimitris Daskalopoulos, succeeds him whilst DELTA Holding acquires Goody's which becomes part of the DELTA Group. In the same year, in collaboration with HELLENIC CATERING of the GOODY'S group, GREENFOOD S.A. is established in order to produce fresh vegetables.
2002: In collaboration with the Federation of Associations/ Foundations "Mazi gia to Paidi" ("Together for the Child"), Goody's launches the "ArGOODaki" program, a concrete expression of its affection and support for "children in need". In the same year, Goody's wins the "Hamburger Foodservice Preis" award as a result of its recognition in Europe. This is the most important distinction in Europe in the restaurant chain sector. The award was presented for Goody's exceptional course and operation since its foundation, for the innovation of its products and food services systems and its leading position in the Greek market.
2005: Goody's is recognised as the strongest Greek brand in the "superbrands" awards. It is one of the most recognisable brands in Greece and one of the first Greek companies to go international.
2006: Vivartia is established through merger by absorption of the companies DELTA DAIRY INDUSTRY S.A., CHIPITA INTERNATIONAL, GOODY'S and GENERAL FOODS S.A.
2007: July 2007: MARFIN INVESTMENT GROUP S.A. acquires a 34% stake in VIVARTIA S.A. eventually reaching 86% in December 2011. Today, MIG holds more than 91% of VIVARTIA.
Acquisition of the Cypriot dairy industry CHRISTIS DAIRIES PUBLIC LTD.
Acquisition of the Bulgarian dairy industry UNITED MILK COMPANY AD.
Swap of a 49% stake in Vivartia's frozen food subsidiary ALESIS S.A. with a 49% stake in Μ. ARAMPATZIS–HELLENIC DOUGH S.A.
2008: Strategic partnership with entrepreneur Mr. Freris, jointly establishing ALKMINI CATERING S.Α. (VIVARTIA S.A. holds a 51% stake).
Acquisition by ALKMINI CATERING S.A. of 100% of EVEREST S.A. and 75% of OLYMPIC CATERING S.A.
2009: Acquisition of 49% of EVEREST S.A. by Mr. Freris.
Establishment of VIVARTIA (CYPRUS) LTD through absorption of CHRISTIS DAIRIES by CHARALAMBIDES DAIRIES.
2010: VIVARTIA S.A. operations split through the contribution of Divisions to different subsidiaries: Dairy & Drinks is transferred to DELTA FOODS S.A., Food Services & Entertainment to GOODY'S S.A., Frozen Foods to BARBA STATHIS S.Α. and Bakery & Confectionary to CHIPITA S.A.
Sale of the CHIPITA Group (Bakery and confectionary).
Acquisition of a 14.8% stake in MEVGAL and signature of a preliminary agreement for the acquisition of an additional 43% stake in MEVGAL by DELTA FOODS S.A.

NO Z BUT I FOUND THIS
Z FOR ZHO A dzo (Tibetan མཛོ་ mdzo) (also spelled zo, zho and dzho) is a hybrid between the yak and domestic cattle. The word dzo technically refers to a male hybrid, while a female is known as a dzomo or zhom. In Mongolian, it is called a khainag (хайнаг). There is also the English language portmanteau term of yattle, a combination of the words yak and cattle, as well as yakow, a combination of the words yak and cow.
Dzomo are fertile (or, fecund) while dzo are sterile. As they are a product of the hybrid genetic phenomenon of heterosis (hybrid vigor), they are larger and stronger than yak or cattle from the region. In Mongolia and Tibet, khainags are thought to be more productive than cattle or yaks in terms of both milk and meat production.
Dzomo can be back crossed. As a result, many supposedly pure yak or pure cattle probably carry each other's genetic material. In Mongolia, the result of a khainag crossed with either a domestic bull or yak bull is called ortoom (ортоом, three-quarter-bred) and an ortoom crossed with a domestic bull or yak bull results in a usan güzee (усан гүзээ, one-eighth-bred).
Dzo inherit two different types of proteins, one from each parent, and their mitochondrial structure and function changes. This significantly changes the dzo's ability to survive in higher altitudes than both parents can. Hybrid species are more often than not weaker or not able to survive. However, this particular species is more successful in ways, such as strength and size, that cattle and Yaks cannot achieve.

Oh dear me , PJ..
,,,when I think I have nothing to post I see your addition.
Star Trek , Borg, springs to mind where "Resistance is Futile!
This is down to the headgear.
and... also to those skimpy speedos.
... please let them hold the terrors of the universe at bay!!
Negg
Good to get your take on my photo Eggy. Am not sure if is more Seven of Nine or Cyberman.
However, be sure my Speedos will always hold any stray extra-terrestrials far away from Arillas! Anyway there is always my other flipper ready to fend away any of the other enemies of the doctor or Capt. Piccard.

Nobody seemed to think anything of it. It wasnt untell I went to see if I could get into the WRAF that it got spotted somehow I got in and went into signals, it didnt help a lot that it was all done by numbers, at one time I could remember up to 500 phone numbers as we called them and tell you exactely where and who every body was. Still good with numbers and being on this Forum has actual helped my spelling. So Thanks to all of you.

D FOR DOLMADES Stuffed vegetable dish known as Dolmades. These grape leave mezedakia are not only common in Greece, but also in Russia, the Middle East, and Asia, and are usually stuffed with your choice of onion, zucchini, eggplant, tomato, pepper, or meat. One of the nice things about eating Dolmades is that they can be served either warm or cold depending on your preference. They also go great with lemon sprinkled on top of them and can even be enjoyed with a side of plain yogurt.

My God, PJ!
I come home , after 3 ouzos, to make a nice curry, as Wegg is in the UK, and I see you!
Never look at A-Z, especially when you are preparing a meal.
I think a 4th Ouzo and extra spicy chilli in my curry is in order.
Cheers
Negg
Neil: You should certainly have that extra ouzo.
Am sorry I caused such a shock - I have been rationing my Speedo photos of late, but the odd one gets in now and then.
Thanks for the latest updates

Hi Vivian
it's a pest bug we do not want them they kill the palm trees Name red palm weevil Rhynchophorus ferrugineus
The Red palm weevil does not pose any risk to people, pets or livestock but is known to attack and kill a large range of palm species

Not wanting to disagree with you but don,t think
they look at all alike to me.
Weevils, also referred to as nunus, are beetles belonging to the superfamily Curculionoidea, known for their elongated snouts. They are usually small, less than 6 mm (1⁄4 in) in length, and herbivorous. Approximately 97,000 species of weevils are known. They belong to several families, with most of them in the family Curculionidae (the true weevils). Some other beetles, although not closely related, bear the name "weevil", such as the biscuit weevil (Stegobium paniceum), which belongs to the family Ptinidae.
Many weevils are considered pests because of their ability to damage and kill crops. The grain or wheat weevil (Sitophilus granarius) damages stored grain, as does the maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) among others. The boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis) attacks cotton crops; it lays its eggs inside cotton bolls and the larvae eat their way out. Other weevils are used for biological control of invasive plants.

Hi
IS THIS THE THREE W's
Three Ws: The legendary trio of West Indies cricket
(https://i.imgur.com/bEsBVAM.jpg)
The cricket world is mourning the loss of West Indies great Sir Everton Weekes, who passed away on Wednesday. He was the last of the famous 'Three Ws' of the West Indies, which included Sir Clyed Walcott and Sir Frank Worrell. The three formed a fearsome batting trio during the 1950s for the side and were conferred with a number of honours post their cricketing careers. Incidentally, all three cricketers were born within a few miles of each other in Barbados. Rumour has it that they were delivered by the same midwife, too.As the cricket fraternity continues to pay its rich tributes to Sir Everton Weekes, we take a look at the glorious career of the 'Three Ws'.

Y FOR YASOU Yasou is a traditional Greek expression that means "health to you!" "Ya" comes from the Greek word "υγεια", which means "health" and "sou" (σου) means "your". Yasou is used as a greeting when saying hello and goodbye and is also toast when drinking, similar to the English expression "cheers".

G FOR GOATS
The goat or domestic goat (Capra hircus) is a domesticated species of goat-antelope typically kept as livestock. It was domesticated from the wild goat (C. aegagrus) of Southwest Asia and Eastern Europe. The goat is a member of the animal family Bovidae and the tribe Caprini, meaning it is closely related to the sheep. There are over 300 distinct breeds of goat. It is one of the oldest domesticated species of animal, according to archaeological evidence that its earliest domestication occurred in Iran at 10,000 calibrated calendar years ago.

When I returned to my in-laws place at Bondel, Mangalore, I was eagerly greeted by my daughter who showed this plump green caterpillar which she sighted on the flowering bush in their garden. She had seen the similar caterpillar earlier at her school backyard and wanted to know the identification. There were 3 caterpillars on that Crape jasmine (Tabernaemontana divaricata) plant. They were caterpillars of the of the oleander hawk-moth.

The Oleander hawk-moth, Daphnis nerii (Linnaeus, 1758), one of the most widely distributed species of sphingid in the world, is known to occur in Africa, southern Europe, Arabia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, Yunnan (south China), Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines, Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, and North Borneo, and has been introduced to southern Japan, Hawaii, and Guam. Its vernacular name refers to the oleander, Nerium oleander (family Apocynaceae), on which its larvae feed, among other members in its family of poisonous, laticiferous plants. Incidentally, the Oleander was also first described by renowned Swedish naturalist, Carolus Linnaeus in 1753. I had the great opportunity of photographing this moth earlier which I documented on this website here and here.
Entire body of this caterpillar was a pleasant apple green, with a straight, dorso-lateral row of small, aqua-marine dots from its second to seventh abdominal segments, with a chalky white, longitudinal band immediately above this. There was also a scattering of distinct, white dots from its first to fifth abdominal segments. Its spiracles were jet black, outlined with white. On its third thoracic segment, there was a prominent pair of ocelli (A marking that resembles an eye), consisting of an outer, Dark Blue ring with a whitish blue center, clearly advertised when its defensive posture (head tucked under) was adopted.
Its tail horn was relatively short and had a rounded tip. There was a sparse distribution of low, short spines over the entire tail horn, which was largely citrus-yellow. It was voraciously feeding on Crape jasmine leaves and excreting large greenish black pellets. Since it was dark we decided to visit and photograph it next day.
Next day morning when we went to visit the caterpillar again we just couldn't find any apple green caterpillar. Previously apple-green body had transformed to a dirty orange on the flanks and an olive-brown on the dorsum. A symmetrical pair of round, black patches had also appeared on the top of its first thoracic segment, just posterior to its head.
The thick rings of its false eye spots had darkened to a black outline. The yellow of its posterior tail horn had now darker orange. This was pre-pupal metamorphosis of the caterpillar. What we saw yesterday was the final instar version of this caterpillar.As we were observing the caterpillar was descending to the ground. Then it dropped to the ground and started burrowing deep into the soil to pupate. I did not disturb its path and let it continue. In another 10days I was sure it is going to emerge out of its pupa and brilliantly colored oleander hawk moth which I had previously documented on my website.
(http://i.imgur.com/97r8luC.jpg)
Descriptions and illustrations of the larva and pupa of the oleander hawk-moth were provided previously by Bell & Scott (1937), with more recent works by Pittaway (1993) and Pittaway & Kitching (2009). Throughout its broad geographical distribution, the combined list of documented larval host plants for the oleander hawk-moth comprises no fewer than 32 genera in 12 families, clear indications of a polyphagous diet. However, there appears to be a strong preference for plants in the family Apocynaceae, with at least 17 genera (more than half) recorded. A most probable advantage of consuming potentially poisonous plants in this family would be the chemical defense that the larvae would be able to derive from them. For example, the leaves and other parts of the oleander contain a potent concoction of cardiac glycosides (cardenolides), such as oleandrin, which can cause nausea, vomiting, weakness, irregular pulse and decreased heart rate. The oleander has even been responsible for occasional fatalities in humans. Thus the plants in the Apocynaceae would confer the larvae considerable deterrence against a variety of predators.

Hi as usual no Z so have put this brain teaser on
Z FOR ZENZIZENZIZENZIC
Zenzizenzizenzic is an obsolete form of mathematical notation representing the eighth power of a number.
In arithmetic and algebra the eighth power of a number n is the result of multiplying eight instances of n together. So: n8 = n × n × n × n × n × n × n × n. Eighth powers are also formed by multiplying a number by its seventh power, or the fourth power of a number by itself.
Zenzizenzizenzic is an obsolete form of mathematical notation representing the eighth power of a number (that is, the zenzizenzizenzic of x is x8), dating from a time when powers were written out in words rather than as superscript numbers. This term was suggested by Robert Recorde, a 16th-century Welsh physician, mathematician and writer of popular mathematics textbooks, in his 1557 work The Whetstone of Witte (although his spelling was zenzizenzizenzike); he wrote that it "doeth represent the square of squares squaredly".

Really weird I wonder why I suddenly got a yellow one, I hope it doesn't mean somethings wrong and it's going to die.
Hi
I am not a gardener but is this what you mean
https://www.gardeningexpress.co.uk/callistemon-sieberi-widdicomb-yellow-bottlebrush
https://www.anbg.gov.au/callistemon/
The flower spikes of bottlebrushes form in spring and summer and are made up of a number of individual flowers. The pollen of the flower forms on the tip of a long coloured stalk called a filament. It is these filaments which give the flower spike its colour and distinctive 'bottlebrush' shape. The filaments are usually yellow or red, sometimes the pollen also adds a bright yellow flush to the flower spikes

Certainly looks like it but it's been RED all the time we had it so don't understand it suddenly having a yellow one on it, especially with it being a cutting from a red one, which as you say, the filaments were red. Never mind Ive always been one of a kind. lol.

I find it hard to believe. Have you seen the color change yourself?
I very closely followed several Australian native plant forums on Facebook for years as I was obsessed with Australian natives and learning all about them. I did see so many posts about Callistemons as well as Melaleucas and their photos. No one ever said this happened to any of their Callistemon though many posted red ones and yellow ones and many other colors. There are a ton of cultivars.
The only 1 I saw change colors happened in 1 season. It is a gorgeous one too, Callistemon 'Pink Champagne'.
https://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/422084/
This cultivar opens in the cool spring totally white but as it gets hotter it changes to light pink to darker pink when really warm then fades back to white in the cooler fall.
There are some that are light in color that change with age to a darker color like Callistemon 'Cane's Hybrid'.
https://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/330869/
If you figure it out, I'd be most interested.

House Martins in the air. The house martin is a small bird with glossy blue-black upper parts and pure white under parts. It has a distinctive white rump with a forked tail and, on close inspection, white feathers covering its legs and toes. It spends much of its time on the wing collecting insect prey. The bird's mud nest is usually sited below the eaves of buildings. They are summer migrants and spend their winters in Africa.
All the best - PJ

I wonder if anyone knows what is happening at the Arillas Beach Point café?.
Last Sept it seemed to suddenly close for no apparent reason, other than possible family issues?? It's in position A1, ideal for a drink or snack when coming off the beach, and the food was always excellent and Maria and her sisters were so pleasant and friendly. A big, big loss to the village if it does not open for the season. Any news most welcome. Thanks... Jon.

Ouzo is our main product, which is produced by alcohol and anis mixture distillation, in traditional distillation device.
The recipe of our mild-taste ouzo is given from an older generation to the next one. Therefore, ouzo "KOKKORA" still remains an authentic traditional Greek product.
We also produce dry alcoholic brandy-like beverage, which is awarded in past drink competitions and liquers in seven different tastes.

I FOUND THIS WORD
Y FOR YEGG The word "yegg" soon came to mean a burglar or a safecracker, a usage that's also of uncertain origin, though there are several theories about its orgin. The most common suggestion is that this slang usage is derived from John Yegg, the alias of a bank robber in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Dimitris will say if i am wrong
The LYRA of the Greeks of Pontos (Black Sea region of Asia Minor) is also known as the Kementse. It is played like a violin (violi) with a primitive style bow, but the musicians hold the lyra in an upright position. Sometimes they rest the instrument on their knee when they are sitting, and sometimes it is held out in front of them. They sometimes even dance in front of the dancers while holding the lyra in that way. The lyra usually has three strings. There are several tunings. Common tunings include: a-a-d, e-a-d, and many others. Since the instrument was often played alone, the tuning was often done according to the preference of the musician and his voice's range. Sometimes percussion instruments like a defi or daouli might be played to accompany the lyra. The musicians usually play two or all three strings at the same time, utilizing the open string(s) as a sort of drone to the melody. Sometimes they play the melody on two strings at once, giving a primitive harmony in fourths. They tend to play with many trills and embellishments, and with the unusual harmonies, the Pontian music has a very unique sound.

L FOR LAGOON Chalikiopoulos Lagoon
Stilianos Chalikiopoulos, a member of the Chalikiopoulos family, participated in the naval battle of Lepanto in 1571. The Venetian government also paid tribute to him for his service in the navy. Although it is unknown whether he was awarded an honorary title, we know that his descendant Nikolaos Chalikiopoulos-Mantzaros, who was born in 1795, inherited the title of Knight, namely Cavalier. Also known facts indicate that he was allocated exploitation plots surrounding the lagoon in the area of today's Airport known as "Chalikiopoulos lagoon."
