Well -this is a bit delayed as a posting! We left Paleochora on 30th September - four months after arriving. There were some nice days in late September, and the graph shows it was a pretty good month compared to the others, and we were swimming in the sea up until the last day.Down on the beach there
was no progress with the new cantina! Work had started in late July nd we expected an opening for August, and then for the 15th holiday, and then for September - but no! This shell on the beach is no further on, and will obviously deteriorate over the winter - so a mystery! Rumours suggest the potential lessee could not get hold of the requisite mobile cantina vehicle . A second year without a meeting point and care of the surroundings has had a bad effect, and spoils the beach experience. There was definitely less business on the beach this year in any case. Expansion in Scandawegians - especially Finns! Brits down but significant! Busy weekends with Gr
eeks!Ruth had a small beach-related accident which cramped style for a few days:- strolling along the shore she deviated to avoid a sandcastle and fell into the soft sand of its filled moat! Face first down and a badly sprained foot! The offending structure got a hefty kick - What a place to put a sandcastle!
And on the subject of regular summer things - whatever happened to the Yia-Yia Gaga Club? Well, what with shorter stays (Sam and Catherine), displaced holiday (Eva), multiple guests (Jim and Susan) and trip to UK (us) and combinations thereof (Julia and Eion) - we were never quorate so the AGM didn't take place! There is a three-line whip on the 2010 meeting (first week of August - Yianni's Place!)
