Poros Photos

 Kalimera

Good morning....... 

From our neighbourhood 

This is a photo taken by a neighbour of ours and posted on Facebook

She lives higher than us.  From our house, on the far left, we have a restricted view of the sea blocked by olive and cypress trees. They need a severe pruning.  At night we can only just see the far lights on the coast of Athens. 

  

My front garden covered in the green of clover and nasturtiums. I'm happy to survey this sea of green every morning when I open the shutters. 

Hidden in there are pots of celery and the wheelbarrow is full of rocket 

And in the back yard the green and yellow of the clover covers all of Ks 'treasures' . 

Two car ferries cross the wintery harbour from the island to the mainland

Sailors at the Navy Base have a free Sunday with family and friends

I met these 500, 700, 900 ?, sailors on a walkabout with shouldered rifles. A police  car, our one and only, headed the parade with flashing lights. They waved at me to slow down and make way for the military column. 

Bringing up the rear was an ambulance and a Navy pick-up truck (ute) with it's bed full of casualties. Or that's what it looked like. 10 Ks on a country road in brand new heavy boots probably caused a few blisters. 

I had my phone hanging on a cord round my neck and was itching to take a photo. I did not. 

I didn't want to end up in the back of that police car.
