Are you at the harbour ? Hang a right at the bottom of the hill ?

 

[spitfire]

Thé fort at Methoni Is Venetian and just free and open to the public. You I think could park nearby if the weather is going to improve .

 

[Lenny HB]

Which side of the harbour are you, the car park by the marina or the other side under the cliff where the coaches park?

They did get a bit touchy all those years ago and I guess more so now there are so many more vans . We stayed at Camping Thines in Finikounta . Despina and her husband so kind . For Xmas and NY they said use the cafe which was closed for winter . Light the fire and there is a wine barrel of our own wine in the back . Office door never closed , key in the lock but maybe not now :-( Only 4 vans on site . Lovely time .
Café bar in village we had a coffee most days and bought a cake for tea . One day I said two of these and girl said no choose another . I said but I like them she said no another those are yesterdays . I’ll sell to the Germans . Was a bit confused why the Germans but it appears they are not too popular . Could cee why when I visited their village treated like Oradour here .

Tam, sorry to hear news of Sis's FiL. Does not sound good.

Re your weather, it sounds like laying second anchor time.

We have first snow of winter here in Poland. Winters are not so cold but start early and finish late which I do not like.

At least where you are given a couple of days the sun will be out again.

Resist Zorba, even if a stray, he is too big and two small ones is enough. What does Val 2 3 dogs say?

Find a good taverna for this evening with lots of cheap wine and cheery locals and hunker down in there.

I support the try several olives from different marinades idea, all taste different. Best done in a shop with open tins so one can just pick single ones out to taste.

Keep enjoying, despite the not good news.

Yeah its not great and as a his family are in the uk they cant even get to see him and now been sedated

He's a nice auld fella ...ive only met him a few times ...was meant to pop in to see him last year when i was travelling spain


Really weird how this virus affects everyone different as my mums only surviving brother had it a few weeks back and just like a bad flu ...hes 80

Obviously the asthma hasn't helped in steves ( sisters Fil) case and now as kidneys etc are failing

Yeah i decided this morning that stray or not zorba seems to be doing ok ...hes healthy and happy and like you say he's really too big for me to home with 2 already and living in a van ....days like this he'd be demented as would i ...my two just cuddle up on a seat and sleep but he'd need a sofa to himself and theres only 2


All the taverna's are closed ...only supermarkets open until at least the 7th .

Hopefully the big storm passes quicker than the 3 days its forecast for

Can you post from France to Aus then? We haven't been able to for 7 or 8 months now. Not even letters/cards.
We have to send to UK & get it sent on.

What a swizz - no stones to spit at anyone!

Enjoy.

That's actually a sport here at the summer village fiestas. That many enter they have heats. I watched am amazonian German woman spit one out over 12m & that was just during warm up!

Doc's don't think hes going to make it

So sorry to hear that but fingers x'd he makes a recovery.

Yes no problems except it is taking longer . I send a prepaid Colissimo box 7kg limit . Normally 6 days delivery but the last box took just over 2 weeks .

Have been sending boxes regularly to keep her cheered up for the 7 months they have been in lockdown but this one is for Christmas ! They are now free and allowed out at last i would stay in for ever if it would have got them out sooner . 7 months of very real lockdown is hard to do . But Christmas will be lovely for them

Do you mean out of the house, State or country? Basia's son who has Aus Citizenship has not been allowed out of the country since April, although his wife who is on a visa is allowed out, but together they are locked in there.
