Worra laugh...

Hail on the sun lounger.

 Last weeks end we had some quite spectacular Thunderstorms and with it the temperature has dropped not reaching twenty degree's in the early part of the week, Thankfully we are now back to at the right side of the twenty mark.  I spent about half an hour trying to catch some of the lightening on the camera but this exercise ended in abject failure so I'm afraid it's just a photo of the ice left over from the hail.  Sandra and I had all the lights off in the house whilst sitting and watching the spectacle.  Nature can provide the best fireworks display of all.

Ladies who lunch!

Sandra's School friend Jane, and Jane's friend Pat arrived for their visit to us on Sunday evening after catching a flight to Athens and then getting the bus to Lefkas.  As they are going on Saturday morning it meant that really they only have five full days with us but I'm sure that Sandra and I will never forget them.

It's been a week of almost constant laughter up to now what a ray of sunshine they have both been.  On Monday we showed them both around the islands resorts and did a little coffee here and a snack there type of thing before going out for an evening meal at Mama Mia's in Nidri which was top rate.  Tuesday we decided on a trip around the mainland to show them where we used to live and introduce them to our Greek family.  After the mandatory coffee stop with Mantha we headed off to the Spring of Achrion which is worth a look and then over the mountains via Souli  where we stopped to try and see the wild horses again and failed and also had the worst ever coffee and tea we have yet to experience in Greece.  We won't be calling in at that taverna again!  Onward to Paramythia and then Parga which the girls seemed to fall in love with, this is understandable as most people do!

Sunset at Lygia.

Where's captain Ahab!

Trouble getting afternoon snacks as most places were closed but we managed in the end.  We decided to go to the famous fish taverna at Lygia (on the mainland not the Ligia on Lefkas) for our evening meal and watch the sunset over the sea, magical.  After about fourteen hours of looking around we got home and went straight to bed ZZzzzzzzz.

Yesterday, Wednesday, we went for a trip around the Island taking in Eglouvi and the Lentil growing region where they sampled the fresh spring water from the wells and onto Karia where the girls where introduced to Brenda I'm sure she's a character they won't forget in a hurry!  Time for a swim now and we go down to beach at Gialos where Sandra and Pat both take the plunge while Jane and I content ourselves with whale watching, THArrrrrr she Blows.......

Sandra would just like to thank all the people who have sent her cards and good wishes for her Birthday today, she's having a great time and going out tonight for a meal with close friends.  Happy Birthday Darling xxx
