This is interesting !!!!!!!!

Arillas is a resort in North Corfu. Many locals live there and this is a small segment of the 6/1/09 from the local church, blessing the holy water. The main priest is 84 years old and was futured on Rick Stein's programme on Corfu. Fit as a fiddle, rick commnented. He is actually my father.

I recognised Dennis and Nikos, and thought I also saw Stamatis from the supermarket....

Aaaaaahh, Terry, that was papa Spiros in the church. He is such a lovely man. Last year we went to see him blessing bar Artemis. Perry is also his son. They're a great family.
Thanks for that, it was lovely to watch.

Have to agree Maggie. Lovely man, lovely son, lovely wife, lovely family.

Thanks Terry - really enjoyed.

I love this video. Thanks Tontelf for posting it on Youtube.

From the pizza place in San Stefanos to the Mathraki apartments in Arillas by scooter

Ah Terry. yet another one! In our (slightly) younger days Jen and me have walked that journey. Past the taverna in San Stef (er, no, IN the taverna...) on up the long winding hill. Opposite Kostas Supermarket, right past Christos (in there for another break / beer.) Look left (the cameraman didn't) and see Alex studios (stop to say kalimera and natter) then Annas (Mythos and Amstels please luvver) then look opposite to the bakery (in there too....) Down the hill and right into Mathraki. End with a nice cold Mythos there, Jen into pool.

Delightful way to spend a couple or three hours. Thanks for reminding me of it.

I had a feeling it was you, Tony. It was a really good idea for a video, better than in a car.

The face on this next video looks familiar, but can't get a clear view to make sure.

Tony . I remember that little journey well (on a quad ) !
Some lovely big holes in the road (my rear end remember's) !
I think the perfect music track to accompany the video is "Two of us" by the Beatles.
It's on the Let it be album.
If you can get it try knocking the sound off your vid and playing the track on your media player or hi - fi.
Well done mate !

I have had a another play with sunset photos but the outcome was a video that is too long (8 mins) so I will condense it over the next few days. I just love the photos though, that were taken by forum members

Anyway here is the extended version - you may fall asleep though. The second song is called "Sunset" and its by April Wine, a nice song with words that fit quite nicely.

Marika's photos look fantastic on it.

Terry, it isn't too long for me. I might be alone in that, but I don't think so. I was disappointed when the youtube timer told me it was nearly over...

Well done mate.
