I'm off!!!


Recommended Posts

Taking a break in the sun, well earned for Mrs Phil who's had a crappy time over the last few months. 

It 12 degrees wind and rain here, in a few hours we'll be in Corfu and 30 degrees. 

Looking forward to Retsina and baby squid cooked in its own ink.

They've got wifi but tbh I can't be arsed checking in. Behave yourselves in the meantime.

Corfu? That's in foreign isn't it?

I hope you've had your jabs.

Have a good break!

Retsina! That is one Greek taste that I haven't cultivated. I'll drink it if there's nowt else. I tend to drink village wine (our local shop does a nice white for about 3euros for a 1.5 litre bottle) or beer.

Enjoy your break. Both of you.

Corfu Special Red is a nice beer, especially nice on draught.
