Good point for any newbies, be vigilant about fastening your blinds down because if one of these gets it it will be straight over the roof and they appear from nowhere.

It’s a right desert sand storm

Look on the bright side, at least your van will be nicely 'sanded' ready for it's paint job!

 

[CaptainPaul]

That Sahara sand gets everywhere mate you'll be finding in your van for months after you get back home, here's my Mrs stealing it as if we didn't have enough of it in the van!

Didn’t do a lot today except for cleaning up all the sand that’s getting everywhere… sat on the front having a mint tea and coke for cintia… then had a siesta to make up for lack of sleep last night from the wind which has died down a bit, breezy and again tomorrow and looking at windy the uk is going to get some bad weather so stay safe you lot…

It’s still so warm here, sitting naked with skylights open and maxxfan on…

Run out of fruit so may venture into town tomorrow, looks like getting a taxi in because of the hill up and it’s only 20d apparently so hopefully will have some pictures for you all…

Camp Wi-Fi is sporadic at times but I’ve got my booster set up and it helps, especially when the blinds are shut…

So… laters

We were the same with our French holiday home, we got to the point where we were going back to the same places time after time and spending more time weeding and painting than relaxing. It also not as sociable because people dont tend to sit out where passers by can chat. Although it more difficult now more UK people have foreign registrations.

following Northernraider remarks about Greece, Ive just checked what Crete weather is doing ( being furthest south) and its OK but not as nice as here and not quite warm enough to lie on the beach so what would you do?

I've friends in marmaris Turkey just now getting 25/6 degrees daytime.


I never trust the temps given by forecasts and apps . I've had 27 28° in the peloponnese in December/January it just depends where you are . Inland always colder and I believe islands are always windier .

A fan just moves the hot air around.

Is that like the ones you put plain water in a container and with the fan blowing air over it, it helps to cool the air? If so I don't think I'd want to use wee. Unless of course you're taking the urine.
