As we are forecast a few days of cold weather, before they arrive, I thought I would have a wander round the olive grove and see what else is in flower. Apart from the roses, pelargoniums, osteospermums etc which have been planted there are wild cyclamen, wild iris, Bermuda buttercups, grape hyacinths and Friars cowls inter alia.

All a great sign spring will soon be here.
As we are currently suffering from colds and flu, contacted undoubtedly at the last ex-pat gathering, we are mooching about coughing and sneezing indoors trying to recover.
No sooner had we resolved never to go to another party than an invitation arrived for 'The Big Lunch'. However, it is in June so we should have recovered by then and hopefully there won't be so many germs about! Certainly don't feel like flag waving and singing patriotic songs (think Queen's Jubilee) at the moment, and possibly ever?
Yesterday when I took the dog for her daily evening walk down by the shore the weather was very clear and you could see the snow on the tops of the mountains in the distant Peloponnese.
Tonight it was not so clear and the photo doesn't convey the impression the Drakonera islands give of floating just above the horizon.
I'll try again another day but I feel life is not long enough for me to become a decent enough photographer.
