A few incidents

Having  heard so much regarding earthquakes, which have sadly caused so many lives to be lost recently, and then for us to actually experience a tremor, was quite frightening.

We were sat in the van a few days ago, feet up, relaxing, when the camper began to rock from side to side. This swaying motion lasted for about ten seconds and looking at each other, we said in unison, "earthquake " Kefalonia was relaxing too and releasing some of  her tension.

We continue to make new friends, both Greek and other nationalities. This morning, a French couple came to visit. They have a huge camper truck, and saw us from the other side of the bay, where they are parked up.

Brits on holiday always stop and ask questions about our travels. Greeks from the village now know us by name and local cats and dogs sit patiently under the awning, hoping for a treat.

It is purple thistle time in the fields and the air is full of stripped butterflies.

We had rain in the night, which continued for a couple of hours this morning, but now it's back to sun, sun and more sun.

Sue is making home made lemonade by the bucketful and I'm off to take some photographs.

Hello Sailor !!

Meet the skipper of the beautiful yacht, Caymen. This is Roger and he treated us to a wonderful, few hours, sailing the blue waters of the Ionian Sea.

Melvyn was Chief Petty Officer for the day, and he leapt fore and aft, as the Captain ordered and even Sue was asked to hold a rope!

Views of the coast that can't be seen from the shore.

The land lubbers finally arrive back on the dock feeling somewhat sickly after the wind dropped and we were left to wallow outside the harbour until Roger started up the engine to get us home!

Harbour Highlights

The moon is almost full, the mosquitoes are sounding like buzz saws in our ears and a mixture of  Greek music is wafting over to the van ,as we sit and enjoy the ambience of this Sunday evening.
Here are a few pictures that were taken today, so that you can see some of the delightful colours that are a part of the small harbour, just a few yards from our door

Nicos, with Lola having a break from painting his boat.

Busy fishermen repairing their nets.

Colourful

 boats of all sizes.

Giant witches and pulleys haul 

in nets full of tuna, bass, bream, snapper and swordfish

The nets come in all colours but the floats are always brown.

Roger and Melvyn ( the boys ) 

towed this colourful bouy

out to the reef this morning

Tidy coils of rope but I still tripped over them.

Wonderful reflections in the clear water

No ripples this evening to spoil the effect

This was morning coffee.... A coffee, a frappe, a slab of almond cake and two spoons

A love heart tomato with lunch

and a decorative lantern in the bole of a tree.
