It really does look good Sandy, and because we stay at the Horizon and get that view every morning, it really makes you want to be there. Later on sitting on the deck with a Royal Ionian, looking out to sea and people watching along the road, listening to the sea .........ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
The drive to work was good today, cold but a lovely sunrise over misty fields.

It certainly is looking good today, Sandy! It makes us realise that we've not long to go until we're home amongst the lovely people and lovely warm (or hot) sun.
It's even sunny from my office (at home) window this morning - although I've still got the central heating on...

And i thought we were doing well here with wall to wall sunshine and a whopping 7°C lol probably the best day of the year so far but looks a bit feeble compared to 18°c in Arillas that would feel like an heatwave if we copt that temperature at this time of year Not to worry only 5½ months to go :-) Tony

The weather is looking good in Arillas today, sunny & 20 degrees. Hope it stays like it for the next three weeks!! On the 15 day AccuWeather.com site it looks like it's going to take a dip over the Easter period, but then it just gets better & better each day. I might even come back home with a tan....finger's crossed. Whatever the weather it will just be nice to get away to our favourite & most loved place.

Cloudy in Arillas today, but it still 21 degrees. I've just read that November in Greece had record breaking temperatures & the warm conditions should last up until Christmas .... sub zero temperatures & snow here - what's going on? www.athensnews.gr/portal/1/34444 (http://www.athensnews.gr/portal/1/34444)

Wish I was there!! My son Kevin was supposed to fly out from Prague today, but has posponed his trip because of the weather.
Loads and loads of snow in Denmark, Copenhagen Airport was closed for several hours yesterday morning, and a new snowstorm is expected tomorrow.

Post by: justphil on February 05, 2011, 01:37:18 PM
The winds have blown all the leaves off our palm trees, which suffered badly in the snow. The sky is grey, I'm on the wagon with antibiotics for an ear infection, and it is cold. Oh boy could I do with a slow walk along the beach, then a lovely hot meal in Armourada. Sandy and Val, thanks for a short daydream before I have to go grocery shopping at Morrisons Aaaaaargh!!!!
Phil.

Hi Phil, Oh, how I feel for you! You seem to be even more miserable than me, just having a bit of a cold, but the sky is grey and it was extremely windy over here last night as well. I wish I was in Corfu too and can't wait !!
Best wishes to you and Jen. Connie xx

Post by: Val n Bill on February 05, 2011, 04:04:45 PM
Oh Phil you poor thing, get well soon, no booze and in pain, horrible weather and having to go shopping. I am sure Jen will mollycoddle you for few days and you will soon be back to normal. Val
Title: Re: Looking good.....
Post by: justlynn on February 05, 2011, 04:29:38 PM
I know where I'd prefer to be, too!
Phil, I hope your ear gets better soon, being on the wagon is no fun, is it? ;)
Love, lynn xx

Our back wall has been blown down after being there for 20 odd yrs. Whats worse its sheared down our olive tree. My mate next door thought I had gone barmy when I almost got blown of my feet trying to get the stone off it. I think it's gone for ever but will keep whats left of the trunk in the ground just incase. I just want to be walking through the olive groves ,down onto the beach, have a swim and then go to dinner in our favourite place in the world. Vivxx

Post by: Sandy x on February 06, 2011, 08:57:09 PM
I'm sorry you've lost your tree Viv....but don't give up on it. These trees are very hardy. I have several olive trees at Kouklospito and sometimes they look half dead....but the next year they spring back to life. So you may be surpised....
Title: Re: Looking good.....
Post by: vivian on February 06, 2011, 09:20:33 PM
Me give up, no way. Peaple might wonder in another 20yrs why ive got a stick in the ground but there again they might just be admiring our olive tree.lol. Vivxx

I have a little video taken of us all at the same day, but would have to get permission from all corcrned to post it. I know Sandy & Ally wouldn,t mind but havent heard from Alex, Suzzanne for quite a while (O Dear forgotten who else was a tiller with us ) will have to take a look, anyway I cant post it without asking and all those years ago I felt a bit silly anyway, but now relish the experirance, dont suppose it's something many people have done. lol.

Hi Viv, Sorry to hear about your Olive Tree. The same thing happened to me. I arrived home after a holiday in Arillas to discover the dividing wall between me and next door had been blown over in a gale and flattened my Olive Tree and the rubble half filled my Coy Carp pond killing 2 of my 6 large fish. The Olive was reduced to about 12 inches from 4 ft. I just trimmed it about an inch below the breaks in the stems, now its at least 5 ft. and doing well. This last season, I had a few olives ripen, don't give up, I'm sure yours will pull through!
