We’ve been here pretty much 5 days to the minute when our first visitors come strolling through arrivals in Corfu town. Reg and Buffalo (Lynn's brother Graham and my mother.) They are here with us for a couple of weeks and are fairly easy guests. Reg has the short straw being first on the task list helping me replace the kitchen and pantry ceilings.
My mum has not been since the Christmas of 2008 so there will be a few noticeable changes, the bathroom, the decking, the weather and the holiday makers. Out of season is pretty quiet here and last time the Buff was here it was too quiet for her I think. This time we have a couple of wild nights out planned, some BBQ’s and beach bumming around.
The break went well with beach days, lazy days and the obligatory grafting couple of days for Reg. We had to do the ceiling as it has been up 30 years, was a little warped and wouldn’t really look too good with the new kitchen. The word from Mrs D was about the mess as she helped do the bathroom one and ‘remembers’ how bad it was. Anyhow it was a mess, we tried to contain it the result was another splendid ceiling!
No sooner had they arrived and we had to take them back to the airport!! The holiday seemed to fly by. We did plenty, ate and drank well and they seemed to have a good time (all that matters.) Reg will be back again in September, when I’m trekking up to Machu Pichu with a neighbour. We now have 3 days until our next visitors arrive on Monday evening.
