I read that you like Retsina? I've never tried it, what's it like? I'm going to Corfu in August and plan on trying Retsina and Ouzo.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08650727428126834841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549687624161040763.post-75836143973555512012016-06-17T06:48:44.187+03:002016-06-17T06:48:44.187+03:00I was so struck by this story. I think because, ye...I was so struck by this story. I think because, yes, I do live my dreams, I do do things that are challenging and out of my comfort zone, such as recently I have made a Tiffany stained glass lamp, which involved cutting 400 pieces of glass and using a hot iron (both which I had serious qualms about attempting). <br /><br />When I read about your night camping out it really struck a cord. I've often had longings to do that again. I even told my husband that I'd love to stay overnight on Delos when we go there and just watch the stars and listen to the ocean (he thinks I'm nuts). So I literally gasped about you camping on the beach.<br /><br />I do go out of my comfort zone, but this was like, a whole new 'out of comfort' thing for me. Now I want to do what you've done.<br /><br />You really keep the dream alive for the dreamer.Jan Irvinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11701536169324333801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549687624161040763.post-8794478095418731962016-06-15T22:45:03.405+03:002016-06-15T22:45:03.405+03:00Funny about Trundle and Whit walks! :-)

Wondering if I will ever regain a sense of adventure that I had 40+ years ago!<br />By the way, absolutely loved Octopus in my Ouzo, read by myself and my husband while in Rhodes over Easter. The mention of my beloved Trundle was unexpected and my other half was equally delighted to be reminded of the Whit walks of his childhood!<br />Thanks,<br /><br /><br />VickiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549687624161040763.post-17251271836263919702016-06-13T21:49:44.054+03:002016-06-13T21:49:44.054+03:00Much appreciated indeed, Peter - thank you!! xMuch appreciated indeed, Peter - thank you!! xJennifer Barclayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14791285838910091918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549687624161040763.post-38907007036712240802016-06-13T21:36:35.277+03:002016-06-13T21:36:35.277+03:00This comment has been removed by the author.Peter Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05136790847193755898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4549687624161040763.post-70064606581028645152016-06-13T21:36:03.457+03:002016-06-13T21:36:03.457+03:00Jen, This is marvellous.
