Loved the video Sarah. So excited now as we will be there tomorrow. Let's hope the next two weeks go as slowly as the last two!! Bet they don't

What a wonderful, beautiful video.

Your third will become fourth, your thirteenth will become fourteenth, and then you can join in the rather daft competition for who has been there the most. But you only need to be there once to be seduced by the charms of Arillas. Or to find out that you hate it.  Jen and me? "Simples." We love it.

Sarah...thank you so much...what a wonderful visual (& gastronomical!) treat on a dull Sunday afternoon :-)

Only another 5 years until you are free to spend longer in Corfu.... :-)

Eileen meluvver, 5 years seems so L-o-n-g. But courtesy of the "financial institutions" that is how long I have to wait because I signed up to one of their commission heavy schemes. And they didn't even offer me a drink....

And who knows what the Tories will do with the pension age by then. I'm already a year ahead of Jen who is two years younger than me, and now "retires" at 66.

Ah, who friggin cares. We will be at home in two weeks time and the whole lot will gel into my "who cares?" attitude. I won't for 3 weeks.

See you there, loveandhugs

Thanks very much Ann...I'm afraid I can't take the credit! It's my husband that has the creative and technical talents...Phil, 5 years seems forever away but it WILL come! Ultimately we would like to be able to maintain a smaller home here in Gloucestershire and a small home in NW Corfu. Until then we will dream! :-)

Sarah meluvver, we're still dreaming. The little fishing village of Arillas is so much our perfect home. We might have to wait, but if we are still alive we will live there one day. In Arillas itself, nowhere else.

Suzanne, you were one of the Arillas lovelies and still are. Whatever life has done since, that group of Arilliac women still survive. I have pictorial evidence!

We met you in Artemis bar but played politics with each other. We had no idea what was going on. But that is the past, long gone and maybe forgotten. You must agree that Arillas is about including and accommodating people. Please include and accommodate Jen and me this July.

Phillip and Yiannis were showing us the stills your husband made for them (we must have been there at the same time), and were very impressed as were we. I understand  they are planning to upgrade the website with them. Cracking video.

Glad you enjoyed it...yes Martin and Yiannis had long discussions about the new website! Were you actually staying at Tria?

Great video - thanks for sharing.

It's made me very homesick for Arillas and Corfu. If all had gone to plan, I'd would have flown out on Monday for 2 weeks but sadly I won't be coming to Arillas this year - but July 2013 is booked so I'll just have to keep watching the video until then!

Sarah1 we were in San Stef this june as the we brought the in-laws and they had VERY specific requirements for the villa which couldn't be met in arillas (despite this they whinged for two weeks). We popped into Phil's a half a dozen times for a few frappe's and occasional brekky. Phil even helped us out with (the useless) hertz when the hire car broke down! We were looking for a house whilst over there and Phil (and Eggy) had lots of advice for us. 
Nic still looks like she does in the avatar, I look like a young Brad Pitt!

Nic and John (aka Brad...;_)) - ahaa - so the break down truck was yours! Lucky you looking for a house - hope to be able to do the same one day - good luck with that
