A Week in Corfu, Greece

I just want to close my eyes and magically be transported back to the poolside where I could read my book in peace and tan to my heart's content. Alas, my holiday has come to an end and I'm freezing my tits off back in good ol' Blighty whilst trying to deal with all the delightful things reality likes to throw at you to remind you that no one can just sail through life without a little wave hurling them in a different direction. Paleokastritsa was beautifully serene which in turn created a safe haven for me to just forget about my own identity for a while. There was no sense of urgency or schedule and I love having that flexibility in my life. Luke and I have decided we'd like to live out our days on a yacht - now we just need to become millionaires in order to feed this desire. Oh, such is life!

12 Things That Remind Me Of Childhood

What reminds you of your childhood?

1. A bubbling dish of shepherd's pie, placed in the centre of the dinner table, that would be met with chants of joy.
2. Performing the hits of the Spice Girls in playground, official dance routines followed implicitly.
3. Gingham dresses.
4. Finding my daredevil cousin funnier than anyone in the world, especially when he was getting told off.
5. Convening in the village square during carnival season or whenever there was an event that warranted a street party.
6. Hours lost to the sand pit.

7. Mother's Diedre from Corrie glasses and horrendous perm.
8. Matching daisy print shoes from Clarks.
9. Picking apples from the orchard with Grandad.
10. Reciting the Italian 1-10 with him over breakfast every morning.
11. Disinfectant mouths in music class.
12. Falling asleep to the same old stories but loving them all the same.
