We Love a Lidl Greek Week!

With our next Greek Odyssey only but a week or so away, it’s spookily poignant that Lidl are having one of their Greek Week’s at the moment ……..

I can’t tell you how much we love “ripping” into a spinach and cheese swirl on the beach, of a Greek lunchtime  and then, later on, in the evening, checking all the menu boards outside the restaurants as we walk into town, looking to see who is serving home made, proper Pastitsio, our very favourite Greek supper of choice.

Now, after Darrell’s thoughtful perusal of Lidl's flyer and since the shop is on the school run, he asked if Nigel would mind picking up a few treats to help us to get into our “Greek groove” ………..

…… unfortunately the freezer section was bereft of the aforementioned Pastitsio, but let’s just say Nigel did not leave us wanting, he simply got one of everything they did have …….

…… to keep us going, until we can actually partake of the “real thing” in Greek time (two hours ahead of the UK) in real life. What are we like, if not very impatiently counting the days, hours, minutes and seconds!

All that will get you in the mood! Maybe, Nigel could pop in a few times, this week, in case they restock. Fingers crossed.
