Well it's time for some Me time now,

I'm going to the greek islands on sunday for a week in the sun with my wife and kids,

I'm not the sort of guy who wanderes the beaches looking tanned and buff,

I'm the one who dissapears down the back streets looking for authentic and real places,

Local people and the foods, restaurants and bars where it's just the greeks and there families and friends

they make you feel so welcome and can't do enough to make you happy,

 I'm going to feast on cleftico, afalia, mountain greens with lemon and olive oil,

freshly barbecued seafoods drenched in garlic herbs and oils,

slow cooked squid and octopus with garlic and wild rosemary,

lovely crisp fresh salads with olive oil, feta, olives and tomatoes that strangely taste like tomatoes,

but definately NO ouzo or rhaki,

I learned that lesson once back in the 80s and i'm a very quick learner,

I'll be taking the boat to Kefalonia for the day as it is an Island that is heaven on earth,

probably have a pint with captain correlli whilst i'm there, must remember to take my mandolin as well,

He can play us a tune while I slice the potatoes,

see ya soon,

Nick......  YAMAS !!
