Sunny Spells

It is that time of the year in Greece when it is warmer outside than in, during the day at any rate. It always takes a while for the spring thaw to penetrate the thick stone walls of Symi’s old neo-classical houses. The island is gently steaming in the sun as Symi slowly dries out. More showery weather is forecast for the rest of the week but the sunny spells outweigh the wet ones and everyone is hard at work, preparing for Easter and the forthcoming season.

Here is a view of Chorio from the bus stop at the windmills. It is interesting to see how the ruins are being rebuilt and restored and red roofs are creeping across areas that were only recently quite derelict. The part of Chorio in the centre of the picture is one of the oldest areas of habitation on the island and many of the houses have medieval or even older foundations. New visitors to Symi are often astonished by the number of churches and even in this photograph it is possible to see at least three.

Have a good week. I am off to play in my garden!
