What a lazy life for some

^5th to 11^th DECEMBER

With good weather Keith has been helping Theo build his new walls and when he has felt like having a break we have gone walking in the olive groves.  

I never cease to be amazed at some of the things we come across.

All the time new tracks are being made and we discovered below Asomatos new signs  indicating a way to Preveli which we will try in the coming days. 

Pity the brambles are still red and very small but they are growing everywhere in the olive grove tracks

We have watched the news on TV and seen the riots in Athens over the killing of a 15 year old boy.  The riots have spread to other parts of Greece but have not affected sleepy old Plakias.  We went into Rethymno as usual on Thursday and the only signs of demonstrations were large sheets, with Greek writing on of course, hanging from the railings around the park.  The national strike had no effect on the village either, other than the daily bus didn’t run.  The builders continued with their progress on the new developments and the supermarket walls are beginning to take shape.  I feel so sorry for the people who have bought their new houses immediately behind the building as all they will look at will be a blank wall and lots of empty boxes stacked up behind. 

We have still not found Keith’s kite. 

The last few nights we have also had some great sunsets.
