Surprise Surprise ………

Hold on to your sombreros, because as you read this, you find us not in our adopted homeland of Evesham as you probably have expected, but in Elounda on the beautiful island of Crete.  How amazing is that?  We just didn't dare saying anything before .......

..... but we've finally made it, after three years in the making and yes, it was emotional, very, very emotional, as our slightly red eyes may attest!

We decided it best to just keep schtum as to the actual day we were due to fly out for fear of jinxing anything ………

……. what with all the continuing cancellations, queues and awful mayhem going on at the airports at the moment. 

We simply crossed everything that could possibly be crossed, including our in-flight Twix’s last night and then held our breath as we got into our taxi for the airport, silently praying that we would get here.

Someone was obviously watching from above and despite Darrell completing his daily quota of steps in the winding queue for security alone at Birmingham Airport, we’re here.

Let’s just say our first glass of Mythos in three years hardly touched the sides, but the bits that did couldn’t have tasted more wonderful ……… here’s finally to yet another Greek Odyssey!
