Things are moving apace...

Vines all neatly in a row.
 This week has seen a great deal of socialising in one way and another.  We had Friday evening at the Spanish evening courtesy of Vliho Yacht Club.  As usual it was a great night, with Deb and Jez and the food was very good also.  The yacht club put a good deal of effort into the layout of the dining areas and staff costumes and once again they didn't disappoint.

Saturday evening we went  down to the Plane Tree restaurant with Liz, Tony, Janet and David and again had a really good evening with fine food and much talking, well that comes naturally to Sandra.  Janet and David showed some interest in some of the stuff we had for sale so we arranged to meet again for lunch on Monday.  Thanks for all the Yachty advice you guys.

We have managed to sell or have reserved all our house furniture which I said last week was for sale.  The exception to this is the cooker and a quality Hi-Fi (both available still at €50 each if you are in the market!).

We have had very strange neighbours living in Tree & Mikes lower apartment this week, he was introduced as "my Italian Stallion!".  They are currently looking for a house to rent on the island and have a dog which is the size of a small pony and bigger than some.  Not our cup of tea but I wish them well.

Last night we went to Lefkas town and had a great meal in Burrano's, I loved it.  Top company again with Linda, Kev, Deb & Jez.  Fortunately, Spurs had the result they wanted Kev!

We've had a really good ride over the top of the island today on roads which cannot be used by a small car a 4x4 is a must but have been rewarded by some stunning scenery and views which we have not been privileged to see before, Lefkas is a true jewel in the Ionian sea.

Stopped off at Vafkeri to see Peter and Alison on the way back and had some lunch at the Katoghi, I do love those prawns Alison.

We have got everything ready now for the arrival of Sandra's dad on Sunday, he sounded very excited on the phone and we can't wait to see him again.
