The ferry sailed into Corfu as we passed Pantokrator which was being pummeled by lightning!Fortunately the sun shone on us as we disembarked and set off homewards, just fifteen minutes drive from the port.
Well, the wonderful thing that awaited us when we arrived home was a fridge full of semi-rotting food. Since we had rushed off at such short notice we hadn't had time to clear the fridge by eating our way through it all. So, we left it to providence that things would be OK on our return. It seems that one of the storms had caused a power outage that in turn had flipped the fuse for that part of the house where the kitchen is! Bang went all our frozen stuff and whatever had been edible in the cool part. Fortunately we had raided Sainsbury's before leaving the UK, so a quick trip to Sconto for some chicken and a jar of Mrs Patak's best saw us OK for dinner.
The next day we picked up the cat from our vet and finally thought we were back home!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Anna. It's nice to get some feed-back.
ReplyDeleteI'm developing my photography website www.robertdingwall.com where I'll be publishing some more photographs - there's a gallery there I've started on Kerkyra (Corfu) - it will grow as I get round to processing my photographs.
