A Winter's Walk

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
