It started with buying lots of new paint as the weather has been very favourable for the time of year to paint the outside. Having a husband as a painter does definitely cut the cost but also you need to beat the whip as if not its always tomorrow (avrio).

Anyway so the house now has gone from the normal Magnolia of the past 15 years (painted before we married) to a lovely fresh Sage Green with light Grey borders - very shabby chic and modern. It fits in the with garden furniture but also suits the great name sign we bought from a Ceramic shop in Agios Stefanos (San Stefanos NW) from Hippopots ....

As the weather has been kind the lettuces we planted in October are flourishing so lots of lovely salads were consumed, drizzled with Olive Oil from a kind neighbour whom picks and presses their own olives via the local Olive Press
in our village. Nothing better then adding to the Olive Oil than a few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice - again picked from the garden.

So today sat outside in December with mild temperatures of 16c, although we do now need heating in the evening when the sun drops, I noticed our Hot Pepper plant is growing fruit - all down to this crazy winter weather.....
And lastly lets not forget the abundance of Oranges, vital Vitamin C also picked from the garden which as well as using as Juice I have added to a few dishes in the oven including roast potatoes sprinkled with Orange Juice not only give a wonderful colour - the taste is amazing too.....
Oh Life in a Corfu Village - just lovely so until next time I hope you enjoy too.....
