Wow have we got behind here, we are back in Corfu and we haven't done a blog for the UK, the trip back here or anything since!!! Will try to catch up and get a grip on things.
So getting back home was good after the events with our friends Kwikfit in Hastings, which sadly had a second episode at home!! The house and garden were fine and Middleton hadn't changed much.
We spent most of our time catching up with family and friends closely followed by a series of shopping fixes for Mrs D. I had to ensure that I got a pork pie, real ale and fish and chip fix before we set off back.
The diary was full with social events, the shopping fixes gathered so much stuff we were on the verge of getting a trailer to get it all back to Corfu!! We piled it all up at home and wondered where it all was going to go.
We were very lucky whilst at home as the weather was almost perfect every day. We walked locally and saw the spring lambs and super flower displays, cycled in the dales, caught up with almost everyone and shopped for England. You just don't get the choice of shops or products out in Corfu, so much so, that there are a couple of guys with big vans who do shopping runs to the UK four to five times a year coming back loaded with Argos and other such outlet supplies for deprived Brits!
So having seen and done all we could in eight weeks and bought out all shop stocks we started to think about the drive back to Corfu and the mountain of stuff we had take back with us. Some of which was shopping orders for some friends out in Corfu.
With route planned, ferries booked, car tested we started to load the car. All I can say is that it is a good job we had some new shockers fitted all round because did we have some gear in the car.
All set, loaded up it was off again for another 1250 mile trek across Europe to Venice and the ferry to Corfu.
The pictures show the canal at Kildwick in North Yorkshire and a couple of local lambs near Middleton.
