As I predicted. We woke up to sunshine. A bit cold but it's still early.
I've put a load of washing on. Later we will go out and get a few supplies.
Bread and wine
It's Saint Nikolas fiesta day.
Happy name day to my niece Niki.
Saint Nik is patron saint of the Navy and all those who sail the seven seas.
Are there only 7?
There's a big church service at the Navy Base here. K should have attended but we were just a little late this morning.
Farmers further north are still revving their tractors.
On the island it is a beautiful day . Blue skies , warm sunshine. Calm seas. No yachts tied up. No cafeterias bursting with noisy gatherings. Empty shops and roads. There is peace in the air.
The valley near us called Fousa. Full of grapevines, olive trees and sheep.
Today nearly all the water has disappeared. The land just soaked it all up

So calm and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHere it is grey and very soggy still.
Winter in Greece can seem grey and cold to us sometimes but the sun is always nearby ready to cheer us up
DeleteLovely to see the land was watered. Now here after a storm last night it is dry and sunny and even quite mild. I exercised outside. Rachel x
ReplyDeleteHi R. Those photos were taken yesterday afternoon by someone else. I went up today to take my own photos and it had all drained away
DeleteA dry and sunny day after the rain is a gift from above. We all come out to get some sun
Loving the classic Greek scenery, sunny days are always good to put some washing out to dry.
ReplyDeleteOne good thing here, we usually do get sunshine after a rainfall
DeleteI wish I could grow Bougainvillea. No-one does where we are in France, so I presume they would get frosted. I have the perfect spot for one!!!
ReplyDeleteBougainvillias survive here in the snow. I don't know about a snap frost.
DeleteThey die away in the winter and are pruned right back to the main branch. But come spring they grow really fast and are soon sprouting long waving fronds
It sounds wonderful - peace, perfect peace.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised by the peace and quiet. I suppose it won't last long. Xmas is almost here and another invasion
DeleteIf I ever have the opportunity to come back to Greece for a visit it will definitely be in the winter. The summers are just too hot. And it looks so much less peopley. Is that a word?
ReplyDeleteso much more relaxing
April or October! Put it in your diary!!!! And Poros Of Course 😁
DeleteRainy will have told you...most amazing weather here. Normally 24 degrees max this time of year...were getting 30. We went away for 5 days and darling Rainy came and watered my tubs
ReplyDelete30o! You're suffering 😅😅
DeleteBet your garden is loving the sunshine. I'm sure Rainy will be doing an amazing job. She does love her flora.... and her skin and blister 🤣🤣❤️❤️
It's always so wonderful to see what a magical place you live in.
ReplyDeleteNot too bad!
DeleteI love the little boat! I want one so bad. But just daydreaming of course.
ReplyDeleteThat boat is for sale! Come and pick it up.
