Ups and Downs of the Rhodean Winter Weather

Just thought you may be interested in two photo albums I've placed on Facebook. One is the photo shoot for the new book's cover, and was taken two days before Christmas. Just look at the weather there folks...

A Brief Moment of Sunshine Cover Shoot

The other is an album of a few shots I took during a beach walk on Boxing Day...

Stormy Boxing Day in Kiotari

Those two albums well illustrate why I tell people that a Rhodean winter is much like a British summer - totally unpredictable and never boring!!

Today, it's stair-rodding it down outside, my wife's making bread and I'm sitting in bed writing my second novel and this will be the scene tonight in the lounge...

and this is what my beloved likes doing when it's raining...

Keep warm, safe and snug.

I should've gone to Specsavers!! Having wondered why you 2 have a Christmas wreath on the wall above your TV.................. I realise it is a clock! Really love the pics of Kiotari beach and the wild sea. It looks like Norfolk.............in the summer!

Having Rhodean Withdrawal symptoms?

The perpetrator

I was born in Bath UK in the 1950's and married a half-Greek girl many moons ago. We re-located to Rhodes in August 2005. My wife's mother was from Athens and married a British Serviceman whilst still there just after WW2. Following the birth of my sister-in-law, they re-located to the UK in the early 1950s.

I have always been interested in the arts and creativity, which is why I enjoy writing and making music (albeit with dubious results!).

Further down this column you'll find a section entitled "Browse thru older posts...", where you'll find anecdotes and experiences, plus loads of photographs of Rhodes [many taken during wintertime] and other parts of Greece that we've visited over the years.

The Pages:

Home: Read the latest post or any of those that have gone before.

News and Stuff: Odds and sods which I think the reader may be interested in. Not long enough to become a "post".

Stay: A list of links and info about places to stay on Rhodes for the independent holidaymaker.

Play, Eat, Visit: Where to find activities, plus a list of tavernas and bars here on Rhodes which I've reviewed elsewhere on the blog, together with links to those posts where the reviews appear, as well as to external links about the places listed. At the bottom a section with info about other more far-flung Greek islands (with links where possible) that we've visited during the past four decades or so to give the reader ideas as to where else to go to find the real Greece.

Nearby Islands: If you'd like to visit one or more of those islands whilst holidaying on Rhodes, or to use Rhodes as a base from which to "hop" to smaller islands in the area. There's a brief resumé of each island with some helpful links.

Links: A selection of links to loads of other Greek and Rhodean sites. Other stuff too that may interest ageing hippies. Plus some ideas for things to do or places to go in the UK.

Attractions: Tourist attractions here on Rhodes, packed with links to other sites where you can learn more about each of them.

Rhodes Τrivia: Lots of stuff you always wanted to know about the island of Rhodes, from statistics to name-meanings, to stuff about places to the climate in wintertime.

Thanks for your visit. I hope you'll be back again.
