Maud, when you return to your Cretan home, I am sure that you will be met with the same warmth that usually greets you. I think at the beginning of our Greek lockdown, there was some upset with ‘foreigners’. (Perhaps is the what the email refers to?) These were people who arrived on the cusp of the ...

My goodness, thank you one and all! I am now going to search all of them and take on board comments. Thank you.

Thank you both. I shall look into those.

I am curious to know as to what weather sites you rely on. I have listed in my favourites The weather channel, (Chania) which frustatingly I have to convert every time from F to C.

These anti vaxxers don’t seem to realise that it is because of vaccines that the diseases have been stop...

Bob sent you a pm.

I heartily agree Yorgo.

Yin & Yang excellent post, now if only we could educate some politicians and public!

Thanks everso for this link to Martin Lewis’ site and chargeback, it is most informative. I have forwarded it to friends in the UK too.

Ros 21- re guns...In the early 1990s I rented a small place in a small village. I was quite remote. A foreign man rented the place next to me. I was constantly ‘bothered’ by his attention to me and very lewd remarks. I tried to alter my times of arrival and departure, but he always appeared, barely ...

Before the days of Internet I was always flummoxed and perplexed by reports in newspapers, especially local ones. One would read about Mr &Mrs Smith of Acacia Ave, aged 80 and 82 who were robbed. Followed quite often with the physical ailments of the pair and therefore such ‘easy’ targets. Even ...

Thanks for the link. Interesting additions in the comments section too.
