Our holiday cottage is called Mandarin and you can just about see them forming on the tree outside our door. It's so lovely here we have to force ourselves to go out, and as it was Sunday we truly had a day of rest. A couple of swims and lots of reading and really only going out in the evening for a meal at a recommended restaurant. On route we took a detour to what turned out to be a locked church in the grounds of a ruined monastery.
The restaurant was good but with three tiny dishes given with bread before we even ordered, and the frozen grapes taken from the owners vine hanging above us, you forget how filling eating a meal can be. Needless to say we were not hungry when we woke in the morning.
Modern technology keeps us in touch with family. So news of my dad having seriously fractured his thigh and needing an operation means waiting to hear how the operation goes Monday afternoon and a trip over Wednesday morning to see him.
Well today has meant greater activity as we headed for lake Kournas and a pedalo ride for an hour with blue skies above.
We stopped at a small sea side resort on the way back before taking an afternoon to just sit by the pool. Then having taken out the fallen leaves,
hardly onerous in the sun and heat, a final opportunity to swim read and not overeat.
So our holiday ends as we fly back tomorrow morning. From the warmth of 90 F to a much cooler Sheffield. We hope the garden has been looked after by a neighbours son who has been doing the watering.
