Hi eggy,
Many thanks for the lovely pictures of Bob and Penny's views.
We didn't get chance to go over last year and have had to put our build in
Afionas on hold until 'le crunch' and the rate of exchange gets sorted. It was great to see that everything worked out well for them. Still we could always put the tent up
on the plot and a shower in the tree.  (Although I much prefer the Bardis Brothers
villas)
(The last time we saw them Penny was sorting out their Post Box in the village)
Your postings really help to temper our 'withdrawal' symptoms. I don't normally reply to the forum - I like reading everyone else's observations instead. But it was so
nice to see that the move went according to plan.
Hopefully we will be over this year - so fingers crossed.
Regards to Linda and Nick at the Night Owl.   
Deb and Paul

I think Cheryl and Timbo will remember the house and couple as we all paid them a visit just before everything was completed and ready for "the big move".

And... What I like about Bob is , he likes a game of darts as well.

Cheers Negg.

Yeah, I remember it well, we had a fab time & Bob & Penny are such a lovely couple, please pass my best on to them both when you next see them!

The views look fantastic!

[Eggy]

Paul n Deb
How nice is that to have a posting from you? - Glad you're both well.

Timbo
Bob n Penny have really settled down well and all their neighbours have taken a shine to them as , said it before, down to earth people.

A wet Arillas today with overnight heavy winds finishing in torrential rain early hours.
We recorded 25mm of rain in 45 minutes this morning. Our neighbours bank collapsed and they can't get the cars fown the drive.
An afternoon drive,for me, to Sidari took me through 4 very deep flood water areas. But "Red Pug" did well even though a few coughs and splutters.
Temps arpund 12 deg outside and now dry at 6 pm.

Darts at the "Owl" tonite -  Gotta be done - "Whether" or not.
Cheers

Hi Negg,

I think I can remember you having a bank collapse last year, in heavy rain. At least its a different type of bank collapse to the ones we are having in the UK.

Next time in rains can you take your wellies with you and take some photos of the flood waters. Maybe Wendy could take your photo and then we could see the wellies that havent been seen since April 1st last year ( Melon Murderer)

How did the darts go?

Hi Terry

I maybe popping out later so will take the camera.
Meanwhile, to "whet" your appetite, this is a photo of the normally dry ditch, just beyond another neighbours land.

Wegg took this yesterday, just after the rainguage recorded 25mm of wet stuff in 50 minutes!

Darts went well and a posting due soon.

Cheers
Negg

More rain there then here at the moment. Is that the ditch you had to jump over when the strimmer ran away with you lol. Viv

I don't think I could manage to jump over that one Viv. But thanks for the compliment.
I don't think I could jump this ditch either.


A few pics of Arillas today where the rain kept away until about 5 ish. We're currently under attack by heavy thunder and lightening and the rains back, but not as potent as last night. ---- So far.




I also spotted a new sign outside a well known Taverna, ready to be put on the wall for the summer

Bet a few of you recognise the place?

Off to our neighbours tonite for a meal and drink or two. There's still a lot of noisy activity going on out side. Wellies on methinks. - But photos not allowed.
Cheers
Negg

Hi Eggy
The photo you took of the flooded ditch I noticed the plants surrounding it , they remind of the plants Castle Eden Dene Nature reserve very close to where I live and love to walikng there. Now I know why years ago it was owned by a family who planted the Dene,  inspired by Italian paintings of the countryside. Maybe inspired by Greece too. Now I know why I love both places. Castle Eden Dene reminds me of Arillas!

Take Care

Thanks for those pics Negg, really interesting. You can almost sense the water flowing down the ditch on the first one. The pictures from the webcam yesterday, showed very black, stormy skies. You can see why Corfu is so green with all that water.

I love being by the sea when its rough (but not in the summer). Its a great thrill to see  massive waves crashing on to rocks.

Could you stand at the end of the pier next time you have a storm please and aim the camera inland?

Terry

LOL, Negg, let us know when you are going to do it and we can all tune in the webcam to see you get swept away!
