Contracted in the 1960s, still alive and kicking today, thanks to 97 injections of streptomycin and two years of daily Inapasade.

You are correct Warwick. The original EOT rules still exist for those who want to let for any number of weeks to tourists. It has stringent rules regarding facilities with a points system to qualify, depending on tose facilities. There is no limit on the number of weeks that may be let. Then there a...

One euro per night per booking for us. It isn't going to break the bank, and we have come to expect a new tax every time the resopnsible minister changes his socks.

Eleni, the shop (Crete & Chic?) next to the accountant's office in Kalyves plateia. They have many and varied good things.

Where can I buy the sunhat?

Pruning to preserve or make safe the tree might pass unnoticed, but a complete tree or two missing could provoke a reaction from anyone wh...

Yes, permission is required for removal, also, theoretically for pruning. Ths architect who built our house had to apply for, and was given, permission to remove any tree that was in the way of the house, but not for the very many others on the plot. I would have thought the local KEP office would b...

A colleague of mine way back in the day was a photography fanatic. He used to use a Linhof camera, I can't remember if it was full plate or half plate but it was absolutely massive. I think it had bellows on both the lens holder and the plate holder so it was possible to create an infinite number o...

The very one Phil. Nice photos. Francis Frith would be proud of you.
Sorry the Pyrex jug was obviously the last one.

The general hardware store in Kalives main street on the left heading out of town westwards, near the post office, unearthed one for a friend a while ago. Not for nothing is it known as "Arkwrights".
