Tam and Toby ~~ Hunting Zorba .....Take two.

[rolosroller]

your feast looks a lot better than your Bombay bad boy pot noodle

 

[Caggsie1]

is it better than Spain Tam? You seem to be enjoying it more or is it the drone etc and getting more piccies. You seem less on your own there too. Merry Xmas

Overall I'd say yes but keep it quiet as i plan to come back next year and dont want it mobbed ....with covid its obviously a little different and not getting a chance to have lunch in taverna's and see the local sights etc but the peloponnese is beautiful and every local I've met have been friendly and welcoming.... and yes there are lots of other vans about and nearly everyone chats etc even the grumpy german from the last place mellowed out after a day or 2 lol
Can't believe im half way through my trip already

i think I heard the German say EVEN THE GRUMPY SCOTSMAN FROM THE LAST PLACE MELLOWED OUT AFRTER A DAY OR 2

life is more about the people we meet than the places we go

merry Christmas & I’m sure we all would like to thank you for this thread as it’s a bit of escapism from the harder times we are living in just now

Happy Xmas Tam to you and the doggies. Have a good one.

Not sure whats happened to Jackie this morning as she's nowhere to be seen .... she's usually up at silly o'clock but its now 10.20 here and ive not seen or heard her. Vans still got all the blinds closed in the back so she's not gone out ...sent a text about 40 minutes ago asking if she was up and no reply ....very strange

Last i saw her was just after 9pm last night when she went in as she was cold.

Very odd ......even me out playing with dogs and whistling and shouting them doesn't seem to have stirred her .

 

[tacr2man]

Go over to her van , and ring her , see if you can hear phone . Northernraider

I'll give it another half hour or so then chap on the van ....its just a little strange

Don't want to seem nosey or paranoid either ...but from the little i know of her its unusual

Shes normally up and outside the dogs go running to see her every morning

 

[Figaro]

Give her a break, she's having a Christmas day lay in

People can be affected by Christmas etc , so you are not being paranoid .

 

[Figaro]

We're all worried now Tam, give her a call on the phone ?

 

[Val 3 dogs]

Hope Jackie is OK Tam and not poorly or missing folk at Xmas, maybe she is texting friends and family with Xmas wishes.
Put the kettle on so she has a cuppa ready to start the day, then have a good one all of you.

 

[Mikey RV]

Have you looked on the other side of your bed.

 

[Northernraider]

Ok panic over ... she's appeared...i think maybe a little hungover so possibly had a bit to drink when she went in van last night.
People handle Christmas differently so I'm not going to pry ....im just relieved she's ok ....my imagination runs of with me at times and i perhaps worry unnecessarily.

The fact that you worried shows you are a caring human being and a good friend.

Just had a visit from a greek man on a scooter ....he brought us a Christmas biscuit and stayed for a chat .... nice old fella he speaks english greek french and german ....says he owns a tavern about 2km up the road and in normal times has around 8 or 10 camper spaces to park when he is open But this has been a very bad year .....lucky he says he has greek gold ( olives) so he has been busy with that ....
I think covid has hit this region hard .... probably why all the locals are still happy to see us around

Its very windy today but still around 22° ive had all the windows open on Toby and all the throws and cushions outside to give it a good airing ....

Helped the dogs to open their Christmas pressies ...i think they have enough to eo them 6 months

The Greeks are so friendly and kind and very generous with what little they have. As there are more vans around than when we were last there I so hope they are not taking the proverbial ( unlike you btw )
If it is still the same these people have so much less that us in our vans. To them we must seem very rich .

 

[Chris]

Merry Christmas Tam and thanks for another great thread

Yes ive found all the greeks very friendly ...even the young ones you sometimes see on the beach or whatever ...every one always says hello ...some will then ask where you are from etc and make a little conversation ....many wave at you just when you drive through villages etc
I had about 8 of them waving out a tractor trailer at me the other day when i was behind it

I love it ....you feel welcome

 

[Northernraider]

On a other note ...has anyone seen or heard from hymerbell lately?
He was commenting on this thread at the beginning and he was in the peloponnese too but not seen or heard from him in ages and just wondered if he was still here or back in the uk
