No Kites Today


It seems that bank holiday weather is a Greek curse as well. After a wonderful day of warm sunshine we have now had two more rainy days and today is a public holiday prior to the beginning of Lent. You are supposed to go out into the countryside for picnics and kite flying. Well, it has been windy enough this afternoon but raining as well, so not so good for picnics. Unfortunately, it was also raining over the weekend and on the carnival parades. Not my cup of tea but a shame for all the people who have gone to so much trouble.

Syntagma Square, Athens

So it’s off to Athens tomorrow to catch the plane for Heathrow and visiting the family. There has been a lot of preparation, almost as bad as having a week off work. You do so much before you go and then there’s loads to do when you get back!
