First, apologies for never finishing my feedback for September 2023. Things got on top of me and by the time I eased out of it, I had long forgotten what came next!
So, due to our medical problems, I've sadly had to cancel our bookings for 2024, both June and September, although as it turned out I would have had to cancel June anyway because TUI cancelled all Friday flights from Bristol and had the nerve to rebook us via Birmingham! I gave up work last summer (retiring for the second time - first time was thirty years ago and I'm no richer unfortunately!) in favour of becoming a full time carer - maybe in the fullness of time I shall get to be competent at cleaning, cooking (oh the horror of my belly pork slices!), shopping and all the other stuff. You'd think by now I could change a duvet cover with a magical flick of the wrist, but it is not to be and I don't have time to go on a course to learn how so I'll just continue to grumble about it.
This forum has given me such personal pleasure that I shall continue to watch out for all your posts and if I have anything worthwhile, may even post myself occasionally.
Thank you all for every contribution, no matter how small. Enjoy your visits to Skiathos and if possible, please post feedback - rest assured I shall be gobbling it up with gusto!

What can I say, other than to send you my very best wishes.
I’m so sorry you can’t get to Skiathos this year. I only hope it’s possible for you to visit again.

I'm so very sorry to read this Dennis and also send my very best wishes to you and Vera and hope that the medical issues improve somewhat with your tender loving care. I'm very pleased that I actually got to meet you a couple of times in Skiathos as I always hear your voice in my head when I read your funny and always worthwhile posts.
... and keep on practising that duvet flick!

Dennis, firstly a big thank you for all your posts over the years, your description and humour in writing left folk waiting for your next post. Even when you had the unfortunate accident with the drunken moped rider you still stayed positive, your skill in communicating your experiences is second to none I mean who else could talk about skittering fishes? Best wishes to both yourself and Vera, and please don’t be a stranger to the forum ,I for one will miss your contributions

I'm still catching up with stuff on here as I was relocating fully to Torquay in Dec, then xmas and its all flown by. Can I just echo all the sentiments from others earlier in this thread. I always held out hope we might cross paths in Skiathos airport as you always seemed to arrive as I was leaving but sadly it never happened. I will be doing my first trip from Bristol later this year so I guess I'm picking up that baton a little. Really hope things improve enough for you and Vera to make a return at some point in the future.
