If you are thinking of moving to Corfu, as we are, then you really should read this www.corfuupthehill.blogspot.com/   It is well written and offers an often amusing and very perceptive account of life in a Corfu village.

 

NOT TO BE MISSED!!! First thing we go to in a morning.  It's a hoot!

Thanks again

Bill,
I love your writing. I think you will be very successful with your first book. It is great to read something so well written.

Just thought I would check out your blog Bill quickly - an hour later I'm still reading and grinning - you should write that book.  A wonderful account of your time in Corfu so far - I haven't finished reading yet - will carry on tomorrow!!  Thank you.

Hi Bill,

love your blog, but can no longer access it from my home pc - keep getting that page that says "..experiencing difficulties..page may no longer be available.." etc etc.  do you have any idea why that could be?  I have missed your recent postings!

Regards,

Joni

I've just been reading a good number of the blogs. Very entertaining! It's got to be a 'must' for anyone contemplating moving out to Corfu.

I did try to leave a comment, but I think I mucked it up!!!!!!!!

Hi All

Thanks again for all the positive comments!  I've been a "wannabe writer" for more years than I care to remember, but until now have never really had sufficient confidence in myself to believe I could entertain others... perhaps this is my new beginning?!

Joni - There was a problem with the blog a few days ago when everything got lost, but it was resolved almost immediately.  If clicking on my signature link at the bottom of this post doesn't work try going to Google and putting in the seach "Corfu life up the hill" - I was amazed earlier today to realise that the blog can be found from there!

David1 - I don't know what the problem is with this, but it seems to be very temperamental.  If you leave a comment in the box, then hit "publish" and it should, theoretically send the comment to me.  Please keep trying!

Many thanks for all the encouragement.

Bill

I have had the blog on my favourites for a while now and I really enjoy your style of writing Bill.

Of course I was already in love with Corfu but I do look forward to your updates.

Go for the book Bill, nothing ventured....and all that
