SEPTEMBER VISITORS - SISSI!




Nan and Lawrence checking in at the Angela Hotel, Sissi. It's a beautiful place with a super pool!
No doubt we shall all be in there before the week is out.







We had a relaxing day at home in Vrahassi today, and tomorrow after my cello lesson we shall all be together again.

MY LIFE IN CRETE!




This is part of the talk which I gave at a hotel in Hersonissos on Saturday evening. I will be giving the same talk every Saturday throughout September and October. Then I hope to take it to England (or even America if anyone will pay me to go there)If any of you know of organizations who would like to hear my talk, please get in touch with me. My mail is: janesharp_creta@hotmail.com Now's your chance to hear what it is really like in Crete.

Happy Sunday everyone! Jane x

SOUNDS OF CRETE AT EPANO SISSI



David and Jane met David and Jayne for a bite to eat at Epano Sissi during the annual church festival. Lots of our Vrahassi neighbours were there. On the way there we noticed that the new road which leads around the back of Anavlohos, has been closed off. I would think that further work is being carried out. There will be a lovely scenic route to Vrahassi when it is finished. A new pipe line is also being put in along the road, all ready to service new developement between Vrahassi, Sissi, and Milatos. It really is an up and coming area.

Just in case you never saw my Aunt Martha's Lenten Quest rendering, here it is. Share it with your friends if you like it. I was brought up in the Yorkshire Dales where I'm sure the spirit of Aunt Martha still lives.

GREEK DANCING - OR IS IT?

We had a barbecue last night, this sort of sums up the evening - fun!

A LITTLE TRIP TO RETHYMNON



On Tuesday we were in Rethymnon, a little unexpected trip to pick up a parcel in Vamos. The Nomad depot doubles with the shop of the English butcher, John. We returned with cumberland sausage, cold roast ham, and home cured bacon, plus the parcels of course.

WHAT A WONDERFUL SUNDAY!



David and I had a wonderful Sunday. First we met friends for coffee in Neapolis and then on to Milatos for lunch with some other friends. Milatos, was a very relaxing place to be for our day out. My only gripe with the scenery, is the concrete shapes that make the harbour. How much more pleasing to the eye natural stone is. I am sure the designers of Milatos harbour have provided a very functional wall, and a very safe harbour, it is just my little gripe! I might even have a boat in there one day.
