I’m just sharing a few photos today which Neil took yesterday when he was out and about. As you can see, the new road surface is well underway, as mentioned yesterday. There are also a couple of shots taken from that end of the lane which overlooks the upper side of the village one way and the back of Yialos the other. I am sure these two areas have proper names, but I can’t think what they are, or I don’t know what they are. They make for great views though.
If you’re wondering how to reach this lane and view, it’s very simple once you have found the village square, the platia, or Syllogos Square (all the same place). Where the Kali Strata meets the village, just up from the tavernas, opposite the bars… You’ll find the square easily enough, just ask someone. You climb up to it via the steps and then, set off in one of only two possible directions. As one takes you into the main village road with shops and things, you’ll know if you’re going the wrong way. Take the other exit up a slope, around a dog-leg bend, and you are on the lane. Follow it all the way around and you will pass the church with the dome on your right and down, and at the end, come to the top of the Kataraktis, which is the very old way down to the back of the harbour. There. You can note that down for your next visit.
We reached 20° here yesterday, at least, we did in our courtyard. I managed to get a lot of editing done inside, and today, I have a load more to see to. It’s inconvenient when you are watching a film of an evening and a stray thought wanders in and tells you to alter or change something in the story you’re working on, and you think, ‘I’ll remember that’, and of course, you never do. I’ve got one of those in my head, and I can’t remember what it was, but it was later in the story, so hopefully, I will remember when I get to it. It wasn’t vital, just a slight improvement.
One last thing this week, if you want to join my author mailing list, you’ll find you’ll get a monthly update of promotions for new reading ideas. These aren’t paid promotions, simply links to where a set of titles old and new are on offer from various publishers and in various genres. I usually go in for historical novel promos and the like. You can always opt out of the newsletter if you find it’s not of interest but you have to opt in first, and you can do that very simply by heading to my other website and blog here:
