On my journey through the Ionian I have got a little involved with the Island of Cephalonia for the past couple of weeks. I step now across the narrow channel of sea to its smaller sibling, Ithaca. Here I have made a lot of visits, and had plenty of time to explore almost every inch… Continue reading Ithaca – finding our way to the island of the gods.
My focus has largely been on Kefalonia as I move around the Ionian Islands. There is so much more I could write about this fabulous Island, and I probably will, but for the moment I am going to make this the last blog on this gorgeous gem before moving on to other locations. I have… Continue reading Kefalonia – and a nice beach to spend the day on
In my series of articles about Greece I have been trailing through the Ionian Islands. If you have been following I hope you have enjoyed the journey so far, for now I will continue with the exploration of Cephalonia. As you head down the coast road further, if you are missing out Lixouri and the… Continue reading Kefalonia – and a dark night on a mountain
The changing Seasons is a challenge put up by Su from Zimmerbitch, a blogger from NZ. This is my first attempt, so I hope I get it right. I have already put posts up from walks and bike rides I have been doing, so I am pulling photos from the month that have not seen… Continue reading The Changing Seasons – February 2019
If you have been reading this series of blogs about the Island of Cephalonia, you will know I left us having struggled to take the journey much past Fiscardo in the North after the last edition. What can I say, a lot of things happened in Fiscardo. If you missed that episode then please click… Continue reading Kefalonia – Adventures on a moped
The last couple of mornings have been rather misty. A very pretty start to the days which are now turning out warm and sunny. Yes we have early spring here in London. We must be doing something right. If I were a believer in gods and diving punishment, I would say maybe we have it… Continue reading Misty Morning
I had an interesting time today, visiting some friends who live on a Dutch Barge on the Thames in Kingston. This is somewhat larger that the British version, and actually makes for some serious living space. Whilst I imagine the lifestyle comes with some challenges, particularly in the dead of winter, on a sunny day… Continue reading Gertruida
This weeks Lens-Artist is hosted by Patty at P.A. Moed. The theme is nature which gives us a lot of scope. I have chosen a set of macro and other close ups of flowers along the River Thames, mostly because they remind me that the long lazy summer days are heading our way. Something to… Continue reading Lens-Artist #33 – Nature
The light was a little surreal last night, with dark storm clouds we did no think we would get a sunset at all. Then as I cycled home I noticed the gap between the dense cloud and horizon so followed down the Thames to get these shots. I was late to pick the kids up… Continue reading Sunset on the Thames
Vast sweeping mountains, pastel villages crowded around natural harbours, surrounded by tree covered hills that reach out with arms of hardened rock to protect the inhabitants within. Isolated and secluded emerald watered bays provide playgrounds where suntanned tourists swim from white sparkling yachts with wine and picnics on-board. A shiny capital that boasts a stunning… Continue reading Kefalonia – and a life or death moment
