LONDINO 2012, 121 days to go!

Cor blimey! Where is this year going? It’s nearly the end of March, a quarter of the year has just vanished…and only 121 days ’til London Olympics.

Before then, the swallows have to arrive, then the start of friends arriving, we have to squeeze in Easter, Big Week and Orthodox Easter including the Grand National, May Day, then tour operator repettes and start of the summer season in Corfu, the subsequent charter flights, then the arrival of the fire flies, Ol’ queenie’s diamond jubilee, the wonderful tennis, boat race, it just comes and it comes!

Phew, fantastic!

Best enjoy it all, before we raise the union jack to support and cheer our British Athletes!  Good luck to them all in their Olympic quests.

We’ll be watching the big screens, not in the luxury of a superyacht at Canary or Swan Wharf, more likely in the company of friends either at the Hawaii pool bar or down at Spyros taverna on Pelekas beach, so much cooler and relaxed! See you there!

The Corfu sky is a totally different blue to the paler Indian version, it’s a beautiful, clear, deep colour. Easter comes first I know, but gathering flowers for a May 1st wreath is a delight. Finding a field of cornflowers one Corfiot spring, is a lovely memory of the wonderful nature of this island.

Blue hues are quite a spring colour here; tiny grape hyacinth; delicate honesty; sweet violets; scented rosemary; soft mallow & bristley borage.

Cornflowers are my favourite, the blue gems featured in my glorious wedding bouquet. Nick’s been reminding me…19 years ago! Tempus fugit.
