Just back from a wonderful and sober two weeks on the island of Corfu. I am delighted to say my wife managed to locate the house used in the Durrells TV series which we have been enjoying immensely. Swimming in the warm shallow waters in front of the house was a sheer delight and the setting is truly breath-taking. It was great to think of those drunken scenes taking place with the likes of Captain Creech, and the cast drinking beers in the water where we were. Of course, none of that made me want a drink. What did surprise us was that no-one else seemed to have found the place as it was deserted. Behind the scenes however the trucks were arriving as shooting of the next series is about to start.
The other thing that struck me was settling my bill. For the two weeks our drinks bill at the hotel was £90.00 and all of this was for very expensive water. The man next to me had been having two bottles of wine per night plus cocktails etc. and his bill was just over £1000.00 for one week! I used to waste money like that!
