Much inspired by our new Christmas tree, Yiannis at the Rainbow Bar has invested in one of his own.
Calling into the corner shop last night, I was as impressed as always with the Wonder Wall; the place where any child of any age is able to pass by and add their contribution to modern art.
And after admiring that, I admired the village Christmas lights from a different angle and was mightily impressed.
In the rest of our little local world, the rain has passed by, for now. There are still scenes of destruction coming out of Rhodes which was particularly badly hit by the recent storm, and there is more to come this weekend. In the meantime, we should enjoy the respite. It means we can open some shutters and brighten the house which has been in constant darkness since Friday. The washing is in the machine, the doors are open to let some air through, and I may even venture out for a walk, the first since I got back from Rhodes. There’s not a lot more to tell you about that trip, but if I remember anything, I’ll come back to it.
