What I did on my holidays


Went on a glass bottomed boat.

Watched the sun rise, twice.

Listened to scops owls.

Ate chicken souvlaki at a restaurant I hadn't been to for 8 years and it still tasted the same.

Swam at Sidari beach and it really is the warmest water in Greece.

Went lizard hunting with the Grandkids.

Watched a young jay drink from our pool.

Taught some of the Grandkids how to hold a crab.

Ate hot cheese dip and crackers.

Sat 2 hours in a restaurant waiting for a power cut to end. Dinner never tasted so good.

Watched my 3 stepdaughters giggling and laughing together like they hadn't for years and years.

Went to Mouse Island and Pontikonisi.

Sat on the Liston with a frappe and people watched.

Saw a Grandad with the biggest smile ever.

Fell asleep to the sound of waves on pebbles.

Hi Jas. Bill here from "Corfu, life up the hill" blog.

At long last I've managed to work out how to access your blog - I'm a bit of a techno-phobe really! Anyway, I wanted to say a) your site is brilliant, you have a lovely way with words! and b) please could we publish this post (What I did on my holidays) in a forthcoming issue of Nisea magazine? It sums up a wonderful holiday so very, very well (I actually had a tear in my eye when I finished reading it!).

If yes, could you email me at the magazine on belinda_farmer@hotmail.co.uk.

Many thanks, and keep up the great work.

Bill
