Welcome to family, friends and visitors. Here you will find interesting (hopefully) pictures of my part of the world, news of our household and probably, long ramblings about anything that catches my interest.

Bright.

There have been moments of sun today but generally it has not been very warm. I've seen a few terns plunge diving in the distance and in the morning a seal was fishing very close to the beach. (My photo of its head is quite boring.)
After breakfast Peter went down to the boat park to meet up with members of the local council to discuss the removal of the derelict boats, trolleys & kayaks there. This has been an issue for some years but at last something is being done. People will be given 30 days to move their rubbish stuff after which it will go to the dump. Then people who have seaworthy craft will be able to use the space.

While Peter was out one of the rowing club carnival committee came up to the house and we discussed ideas for the carnival and set up a WhatsApp group so that we can keep in touch. Neither of us could work out how to get me back on Spond which is the usual way the club members communicate.
For the rest of the day I've either gardened or did more  research for our holiday. The nearer stables got back to me and they only do 'walk' treks so it will have to be Odysseia stables. As it's an hour's drive into the mountains I used Google street view to familiarise myself with the route. (Love being able to do that.) Not all of it but going through the villages and then up the rough mountain road. I know I'll have a Satnav but being ever cautious I've written down a full set of instructions just in case. The last section reads like something from 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt.' - past houses, over a bridge, ignore brown sign on the left, past chapel on the left, keep on going up, up, up.

Last night's sunset.
