Steve Just back home yesterday afternoon after three glorious weeks in Molyvos. It really is a wonderful place, and somewhere more people should visit. The refugee crisis that hit the castle-topped village on the northern tip of Lesvos is over. Tourism, however, is still down. Last year saw a 60-80% decline in tourism across the season. This year could be worse, but let's hope not. Glad to be back home? No way! The pic was taken with a GoPro. Bought it specifically for holiday and enjoyed using it very much. Got loads of underwater video clips to string together now. Watch this space...

Harry Crosby Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Went to the toilet at 4.30am this morning. Went back to bed and laid wide awake, before getting up and taking my little smooth fox terrier Rosie for a couple of hours on the local beach. We had a lovely time, and it was a glorious morning, in beautiful surroundings. Best part of the day for me 1

Suzannek Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) Had a lovely walk out on my favourite walk yesterday of 7.6 miles through the Gaunless Valley Woods and over Cockfield Fell. The sun shone but there was a cold wind and blowing a gsle on the fell. Small Skipper butterflies, a rather bedraggled Speckled Wood.
