Clean Monday

Dupnica:
 Lesley, you didn't remind us that today is the beginning of Lent in Corfu and everyone would be down on the beach this morning flying kites.When we've been there our kites have usually ended up in Albania.Today is called Clean Monday and it's anything but.People get blacked up and take delight
in blacking everyone else up.There is a carnival  in Avliotes and dancing and bonfires in the main square and everyone has a wonderful time. Wish I was there.

Lesley:
Well the rain held off for the Avliotes Carnival and Clean Monday and it was a good turn out too..... loads of photos for those on FB have been posted by several and I believe its Pancake Day Shrove Tuesday in UK?  Might make some as I've plenty of lemons on the tree.
