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.
Hi there Kiwi! I have just caught up on your blog. I'm so sorry to hear you are not well. I always get that stupid bronchopneumonia! We do have so many things in common, but I'm sorry to hear we share this unpleasant condition! Take it easy and don't expect too much of yourself. It takes quite a while to get your strength back... At least you are blogging again...;-)
I'm very sorry for the loss of your neighbour! I know that your heart and sole is sick with his tragic end but what about your body? Are you feeling better? The weather is still cold although the trees have their first blossoms.
I have been neglecting you. And here you are beset by trouble... I do hope the blossom presages better health and something positive that might offset the horror of your neighbour's death. Such wanton stupidity and waste.
If spring is in town, you're feeling better also? :)
ReplyDeleteThat's exciting. A sure sign of spring!
ReplyDeleteYou make me envious - I'll have to drown my sorrow in the bottle of olive oil from Crete I bought today ;-)
ReplyDeletePS Thank you for the pleasant comment - things are going well
The trees blooming is a great sign that spring is here. The plum and pear trees are in bloom here.

The Spring is here. I hope you feel better and have Spring in heart and body.
ReplyDeleteThose first blooms never fail to put me in a good mood. So long, winter! Hello spring!
ReplyDeleteYes at last... I was a bit tired of cold days.
ReplyDeleteA sign of Hope indeed:)

ReplyDeleteWow, I'm jealous. Not a single bloom yet in Liege...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Spring. Glad you are feeling better. - Dave
