A NIGHT AT THE THEATRE IN AGIOS NIKOLAOS

If you missed last night's performance of Aeschylos' Seven Against Thebes, then you missed a real treat. Members of INCO together with members of the Municipal Cultural Organisation of Agios Nikolaos staged an English translation of the play. The translator was Mr Nigel Radcliffe-Springall of Kritsa.

LIFE IN BETWEEN THE FUN!

It was my granddaughter Jade's birthday on Sunday, how wonderful it was to speak with her on the telephone, what a joy she is. It was also my sister's birthday on Saturday, another wonderful family chat. Jack has gone up into the 'Juniors', quite a little man, and I did a little cello practice. I also gave my talk at the Belvadere Hotel in Hersonissoss. All the energy I used this week was renewed when I got to hug the big plane tree at Krasi. All in all it has been a most wonderful summer, and now it's back to work. Hm... I feel a book coming on! Don't forget the full moon on Wednesday, a very inspirational time. I have a feeling that the weather may change, time to think about buying a pair of jeans.














A LITTLE HOLIDAY IN CRETE!

David's sister Nan, and her husband Lawrence, came to stay for a week. We had lots of fun, ate lots of icecream, and got to see some interesting places. The boat in the photo is called the Stella Nan, and as David's grandmother was called Stella, and his sister, Nan, we thought the boat was very special. Our visit to Talos gemstone shop in Agios Nikolaos was another highlight of the trip, and the Minoan palace at Malia was so worth the visit, even on such a hot day. Finally we said goodbye to our visitors today, hoping that the holiday did not tire them too much.









A big hug to take home to the rest of the family.




LUNCH AT THE ART CAFE, KRITSA

What more can you ask of life? Good friends, good conversation, good food, and good music!

THE ANGELA HOTEL - SISSI

I met these two happy holidaymakers, Nick and Emma, at the Angela Hotel in Sissi. Yamass you two!

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.
