Autumn

It’s starting to settle towards autumn, the heat I mean, although yesterday was very muggy. The mosquitoes were out in force at our place, and we had to put the hot water tank on for the first time since the start of June. Only 20 minutes a day to do the washing up and take showers, then after that, that’s it. I have even had to revert to wearing a shirt at times. Outrageous.

Yesterday's dawn.

Yesterday, I forgot to mention the Secret Garden in my list of places to eat in the village. It’s on the road to Pedi, just before the left turn up to the windmills (as you’re heading downhill towards the sea). There will be live music there on a Friday night, plus food and drink and a gorgeous courtyard garden to be in. I don’t know what it was like there last night, but Neil reports the village square was very busy when he was called back to work at half nine. Here’s a shot of ‘Nelly and the Boss’ that you might enjoy.

That was in the afternoon when a newlywed couple wandered past with their photographer…

You see it all in the village if you hang around long enough.
