Corfu Oct 08

I've been reminded by a few people now that its about time I updated my little blog page here. Sso here I am.

I've been rather busy in my new job so I've not had a lot of time to devote to telling you my little tales of events etc. But I shall attempt to update you of my goings-on in the past couple of months.

I've been away on holiday to corfu which was delightful as ever. I went to a 5* on the beach so plenty of sunshine and sea side. Not a lot of activities to keep you busy during your stay and a food poisoning bug that attacked just about everyone but my dad in the resort put a downer on things for 48 hours or so. But not to distract from the holiday itself which was relaxing and a nice way to wind down before heading back to the rat race in the big smoke.

Lots of stray dogs about, and im not one to discriminate so there was lots of patting them on heads and giving them cuddles. It definately made me miss Ralphie a lot though. He seemed to be having a little holiday of his own though at his Auntie Annes whose old grumpy dog Henry taught little Ralphie a thing or two in doggy ettiquette. Ralph came back a different beast, all patient and restrained. Calm didnt last long which goes to show I'm a bit of a push over as far as hes concerned. He was soon back to chasing the cats who also seemed to have rather enjoyed their break away from their canine companion. But were rather pleased to see us.
It was rather a hellish treck from the airport in Corfu to the hotel complex itself which wasnt much appreciated at 4am.... and neither was waiting for our room to be ready for a good hour.

We planned to take a day trip over to Albania, which never materialised for one reason or another, but did make it into Corfu town. Brilliant for shopping - some good jewellrey there people. It was a pretty little town with lots of little hidden gems.
