Curry at Palairos

The sixteen seater bus left Bill's at 6.30

A great time was had by all
Especially as no one had to worry about driving
Good company, good food & good value
I look forward to doing it again

Grenvil holds forth

My little car is in the hospital

Jim & Joan's Wedding Party

Joan looks beautiful in her wedding outfit at the Champagne reception at the Olive Museum

The party in full flow at The Tomato

The Very Happy Couple - with CAKE !

Lilith

Have you ever heard if Lilith ?

I am surprised that I had not.

I have just finished reading the Sunday Times (23rd August !) 

There was an extract from "Red: A Natural History of the Redhead" by Jacky Collis Harvey

Where she said that redheads were often 'portrayed as sexually voracious or vampship'

'The earliest is Lilith, Adam's first flame-haired wife, who refused to obey him and hurtled into the wilderness - ending up as a night demon and a witch'
Adam's first wife ??????

Our 14th Wedding Anniversary 

Regatta 2015

The bay begins to fill up

A warning for later

Sivota was looking as beautiful as ever

We had a lovely meal in the 12 Gods
It used to be The Old Storehouse & has now acquired a roof restaurant as well

Steamboat Rooster were as good as ever

Our trip to Meganisi

After a pleasant ferry trip we chose a spot for lunch
Good job Paul had his secateurs to clear our spot

A

Perfect until ........

A wasp sting on my wrist
(not actual wasp!)
Still very sore and swollen two days later

Steamboat Rooster were as great as ever
Fantastic night
Thanks to Tony & Tree for all the Rally Organisation
Roll on Regatta

Off on an adventure

Tomorrow we are catching the 12.15 ferry to Meganisi
Picnic lunch and then meeting up with the Rally in the evening
Steamboat Rooster are playing
Really looking forward to it

Book Club

The only book that I read during my trip to UK
The first of the Diskworld novels published in 1983
I have started the second one

Despite seven weeks of neglect we have managed to save our Umbrella plant

Home now

Holidays over - get back to work

Off to the Ferry

Last view of our hotel in Lake Garda
Sorry that the sun was not shining
Home soon

Today the Queen becomes the longest serving Monarch

A great picture, I think

We took the ferry to Sirmione del Garda
and found this on one of the beaches.
Needed Googling
The dream installations were originally the work of Yoko Ono back in 2008, all over Italy.
This year it is back in the beach as part of the Fondazione Bonotto Foundation from Venice.
Quote:-
With the DREAM project a word became a manifesto.
A single word to sum up complexity, an uncertain future, a crisis, values.
Too much information methinks

Italy - Lake Garda

Stalls dedicated to the sale of Lake Garda Lavender

Well, you did say a BIG beer !
But one litre .......

Meanwhile Lachlan had his 11th Birthday on August 27th

They celebrated at Disneyland Paris

Austin on the way home

Switzerland

We don't normally enjoy the drive through Switzerland

Road works, road works & road works

And the scenery not what I expected

BUT ....

This time we went over the Gottard Pass instead of through the ghastly tunnel

The top of the pass
There was a disproportionate number of motor bikes and sports cars enjoying the windy road

The top was like another world
Flat with rocky crags and dotted with pools and small lakes

Just as we began to descend we stopped at a little cafe with a spectacular view

The sound of the cow bells below was so loud

A view of the road to come

We're off. France ....

Calais & the new double, razor wired fence is much in evidence. 

First stop Ibis in Reims

Early morning windscreen cleaning

And in no time it is a sundowner at Captain's Hotel in Blotzheim
