The old minaret adjacent to St Nikolaos church is a perfect reminder of the way the East met the West in the town I made my home, Chania, Crete, Greece.
The photographs I post all help to tell a part of a longer story that focuses on the town and its citizens, whether they are living there now, or have made their home in other parts of the world. As a newer resident, by writing about the town in this way, I am trying to put some order into the chaos that I seem to be confronted with.

Winter garden
It's not all doom and gloom: our garden is looking rather prosperous. We harvested our first broccoli last Sunday, and now the cauliflower is also ready. But the cabbages still need some more growing time.
Good on ya. A useful (food) garden is so good, food for the soul in a way, too. I've never seen cabbage growing. I finally cleaned up the land on the two sides of my little rented house. Took a pickaxe to one plot and it is ready for planting. But local follks tell me the wild animals will dig up any seeds or vegetables I put in. Do you have that problem?
Not bad at this time of the year! We have to find a shop for this kind of thing. If you have a look here, you may see the only fresh item we could have got last Sunday...
great to have home grown veggies!
