Doing up Mandala Before and After's :)

We've been here three months now but it feels like sooooo much longer. We've made friends, we've run retreats, and we've made a huge amount of changes to the house.

We love Villa Mandala so much,we are still working on things everyday but we are very proud of how far we have come in such a short time.

Hope you enjoy the latest little film!

How things work in Corfu... Part One: Mail

There are a million reasons why Ben and I decided to come to Corfu. There are endless beautiful aspects of living here and positive qualities about this place. Organisation is not one of them! How things work in Corfu for someone whose friends describe her as OCD -is quirky to say the least. One of our first questions was the mail- You know that stuff that in civilised countries just gets posted through your door each morning. Well here it doesn't work like that. There is only one postcode for the whole of Corfu and our unique address is composed simply of the name of the first resident of the villa and the village name. We asked the previous resident of the house where to get mail sent- she has owned the property for over 15 years but of course she didn't know where the mail gets collected- that would be too easy wouldn't it? We are learning that Corfiat villagers apparently see the mail a bit like a sport, you can't just have i...

Short Film of Our Drive From Villa Mandala to Corfu :)

It's been a bit mad really. Ben and I have been working harder then I knew we even could! The long days are taking their toll on me a little. ( For instance I look like a troll right now!) We are very grateful to have Ben's friend Chris here to help us for the week. The boys have almost completed the wall and ceiling re-vamp of whole of the upstairs rooms- Yayyyyy! (...Thank you sooo much Chris. ) I have been painting not one, not two, not even three but four wardrobes and thankfully the graft is paying off and this particular phase of work is coming to an end. (Phew!) But in our downtime we have all the beauty of the island to explore. Here's a vid of us blowing off a little dust and heading to our local beach to catch a sunset... Big Love! :) s www.gofundme.com/launch-the-mandala-yoga-bnb www.mandalayogabnb.com

Summer of Love!

I have more to say then I could possibly recount in a simple blog post so this is a tricky one! I shall attempt to keep it brief and to keep my updates more frequent over the winter... I'm not promising anything though! Wow- what a year. The summer flew past in a sunny whirlwind of activity. Ben and I both feel like we fell on our feet so many times since moving here. In short we took a massive risk, leaving our beloved boat, our amazing community of friends and family, our beautiful jobs and lives in Hampton for a mad, somewhat out of the blue and decidedly risky plan to move to Corfu, start work on a house that we didn't even own and try to integrate our selves in to new work and social lives. All I can say is that the risks all paid off- a million times over. We bought the house of our dreams and many friends old and new stayed with us this summer. We have met people from all over the world and shared our house with artists, T.V presenters, healers,...
