Late on a cold afternoon
This is a private chapel dedicated to Saint Nektarios. It's fiesta is 11 November and it's favoured for Baptisms, Weddings and Services for Health and Thankfulness
The chapel is in the grounds of Paradise Taverna. Paradise is just down the road from us and is a good walking distance. It's very popular in the summer with chairs and tables under the grapevines.
However there were family disagreements at the end of last summer and it closed down. Their chairs and tables were advertised for sale on Facebook so it looked final. Now there are bulldozers in there revamping the outdoor dining area. Rumours are it will reopen this summer. We hope so. It does a roaring trade with its Al fresco dining, views of sea and mountain and excellent traditional Greek cuisine.
A hedge of lavender. It's just had a haircut.
The wild sage bush
I've taken cuttings from this and they're thriving
A hedge of rosemary
At the bottom of our cul de sac
Our neighbour has these 2 abandoned boats on his land. I think he was intending to fix them up and go fishing. That was 10 years ago.
They've been joined by 3 motorbikes, a couple of fridges and a little red car
He has grand plans but something else always gets in the way

i'm so glad you have herbs in your garden, do you use them in your cooking/baking? I do and I use mine to make soap and face moisturiser. That is one huge sage bush.
ReplyDeleteThat's impressive, making soap and moisturiser. I use a lot herbs in cooking. I have fresh oregano, thyme, lavender, sage, basil and mint. Love them all, especially in the summer. Basil, mint and parsley go in everything. Almost. And oregano
DeleteOur outdoor herbs have shrivelled during this past winter.
ReplyDeleteI may need to think about restocking.
I'll have to buy some basil. That never lasts all winter but the rest have done well. The sun is more likely to dry them up here
DeleteA pleasant walk.
ReplyDeleteI really need to walk earlier. It's a bit chilly
DeleteThe boat would be excellent for growing strawberries or a collection of herbs. It would look lovely in the yard filled with green
ReplyDeleteYour winter is looking very sunny. I hope it doesn’t get too hot for you
You're right about the boat. That's probably all it's good for now. But he won't give anything up
Deletesomebody should turn those boats into planters,lol.
ReplyDeleteThey'd make a wonderful addition to my garden!! I'll tell him but he keeps on saying he'll fix them up. Year after year lol
DeleteFrench farmers are like that; they never throw anything away. Old cars become Chicken houses, and huge piles of scrap appear in the woods. Everything will come in handy at some time or other!
ReplyDeleteThe little red car would make an excellent chicken coup. His kids are going to make money one day with all that recycled metal.
DeleteNice pace to walk around.
ReplyDeleteSorry place not pace!!
ReplyDeleteEvery corner of your lovely island looks wonderful. Here too, there are some people who don't throw anything away because they might have a use for it one day.
ReplyDeleteA hedge of rosemary sounds wonderful, as do the lavender and sage - delicious.
