Just one fire in Rachtades, there have been no reports to my knowledge about any other fires on the island, North or South.
We don't know how this one started but no humans were hurt and no real damages. The response was fast.

We are waiting for the technician to come and take a look at it again, we have tried re-starting it but it doesn't seem to work. Please bear with us  :) :)

Spoke to Spiros in Nafsika and he said they can't use their own olive oil , on the tables, he has many olive trees and so used to press his own olives.

Today is very windy, coming off the sea. Lots of new faces in yesterday. We're all gearing up to watch England later! :)

Hi Karen, it seems it's the Greek Government that has enforced this, not the EU.... Absolutely ridiculous - the thing is, most of these ridiculous laws they pass from time to time (like the closing at 9pm for the Super Markets last year) seem to be enforced for about a week, and then everything is back to normal... however, I fear this one is here to stay.

I don't think it will be necessary, Karen!! :D
Yes, we had a very cold couple of days and a rainy June, and many places in Greece flooded.... but Corfu, as usual, came out of it fairly quickly!
We are blessed with that NW again that is pushing all the clouds out of the region. 
Enjoy your time in San Stef!!

What's happening is that the storm is finally OUT OF HERE! :)
What has been a very unsettled June, possibly for the first time in my life, is now *fingers crossed* behind us....
Temperatures are set to come back to normal within the next couple of days, and the clouds by Sunday will have disappeared.

Yippeeee!  ;D

I just wanted to share the excitement with you & anyone else that is due to come over!

Just a quick update on the olive oil situation...
The law has been held from being enforced after all of Europe in an uproar condemned it, and so the whole situation has been cancelled - GOOD NEWS!

:) :)

Hi everyone! I took this image a few days ago, on a very rainy day as you can see!! Yesterday and today has been sunny but cold... around 8 degrees during the day and close to zero at night! The houses are all lit up, and I think the cold is actually making us feel like we are experiencing a more authentic Christmas  ;D ;)

So, I think you might have heard that it's been raining quite a bit over here!
Yesterday and today we have had the sun shining back into our lives, and very much enjoying it :) It's not really meant to rain here, is it? ;)
Here are a couple of images I took yesterday overlooking the beach, off in a bit to take some more for you!!

A bit like the ridiculous law they dug up last year banning businesses from having illuminated signs outside.

Yes, I remember that one!
I guess we'll be having the same conversation again next year  ;)

Hi everyone,

as I see you are getting quite worried about the supermarkets ordeal, I just wanted to let you know that they are closing again late...
A similar situation happens every year; for one reason or another the police dig up some ridiculous law and start going around "collecting" money. A few days later everything is back to normal.
Greeks are rebellious - it's in our DNA. Do you think this absurd law is going to stop people running their businesses as usual? I don't think so! :)
