Corfu Island is considered to be one of the most magnificent island in Greece, because of its panoramic scenes and a lot of birds singing all around

That's a valuable information! Thanks a million!!!

And what do you know about the wheather, shall we say, in the end of October?

I've been missing you, girls!
We visited different places all around, in our own county and in Wexford, too.
Saw one of the oldest lighthouses of Europe, on the shore of StGeorge Channel; chased a French cargo ship from the moment a pilot boat met the ship in the Waterfod harbour in Dunmore East and almost up to the Waterford cargo terminal.
And, can you just imagine that, we've forgotten to take our camera with us! Both times!!!

Ok, I'll write down about the weather in Corfu:
January: Cold, rainy & windy. There is a one-week period during January when the weather is generally good and the winds cease. This period is called the Halcyon Days.
February: Slightly warmer & sunnier than January. The first trees to bloom.
March: Usually cold & windy but there are many sunny days too. The first daring swimmers appear.
April: Spring time in Corfu with medium temperatures & low rainfall. Corfu is full of wildflowers.
May: Warm and sunny. Rain is unlikely to occur past May 10. The meltemi seasonal North winds have not yet started to blow, the sea is calm and nature is at its best. May is considered the best month for outdoors activities. A jacket will prove useful for the night.
June: Sunny and hot. Time for the beach!
July and August: Windy and very hot. July and August are the months that the seasonal North winds blow. It is hard to do anything else during these months, than spend the entire day at the beach.
Look for a shady place and drink plenty of water. Do not forget your hat and sunscreen.
September: Sunny, less windy and slightly cooler. Good for outdoors activities.
Get a light jacket for the night, especially if you plan to visit any mountainous areas.
October: Sunny, very few windy days but some rain will fall. Good for outdoors activities. Warm clothes are rarely necessary.
November: The weather becomes unpredictable. It may be sunny but there are plenty of rainy and windy days too. Pack a sweater and don't forget your umbrella.
December: Conditions vary from year to year with a mixture of windy, calm, rainy, sunny, cold and warm days. Pack warm clothes together with your swimming suit. There are days when the temperature along the south coast makes swimming possible and pleasurable.

I think it would be useful for you!!!!

How do you know? Have you ever been here?
This summer we have plenty of tourists from Germany, Holland, Italy and Spain.
Maybe they are trying to escape the summer heat, in their own place, in such a way.

Оличка, your pictures look like Ireland's landscape!

Splattie

No, I haven't been there but I read a lot ab.it.!!! I wish I were there not only to escape the summer heat but also to see a lot of places of interest!!!!!!

Can you write me the titles of the books wroten by Gerrald Durrel? If it's possible, for sure.thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!

Оличка I've just made a photo of some books but couldn't load it because of batteries having turned unloaded. Nevertheless this is the list of the books by Gerald Durrell I have in my home library.

Земля шорохов, Путь кенгуренка, Поймайте мне колобуса, Сад богов, Только звери, Пикник и прочие безобразия, Золотые крыланы и розовые голуби, Натуралист на мушке, Ковчег на острове, Перегруженный ковчег, Гончие Бафута, Три билета до Эдвенчер,Под пологом пьяного леса, Зоопарк в моем багаже, Поместье0зверинец, По всему свету, Моя семья и другие звери, Птицы, звери и родственники. A wonderful fairy tale, the only one he wrote to earn some money for his Zoo - Говорящий сверток.
I wish you enjoyed them. Sorry to say I can't reread them because the paper the books were printed on is yellow and got old very soon and it is allergic for me. Otherwise I' d enjoy reading the books again.

Оличка Thanks a lot. We're considering the island of Corfu as our holiday destination next year. It can be neither May nor June... What's left? Maybe September? Your piece of information is sure of great use.

NatalyS
Thanks you a lot!!!!

Оличка

Olga, dear, I don't think you have any reasons to complain. The more we communicate in English the better for all of us and our mastering the language too. By the way your new picture is great. Very young and charming lady in her late twenties, aren't you? I like your style - elegant but not ostentatious.

Jezglad to see you and your charming baby. She looks very much the same as my youngest granddaughter Nataly. She is two and a half.

Dusya and NatalyS - thanks so much for your compliments! And NatalyS is correct - the more we speak, even if we make mistakes (which you didn't make, Dusya) the more we learn.

I agree - very elegant and beautiful without being ostentatious. Was the outfit for a special evening? An anniversary, perhaps?

Jez, thank you for correction and having great tact.
