Change to location of blog

Please pass this information to anyone you think would be interesting in following the day to day life of the village.

The annual backgammon (ταβλι) Championship

Guiness Record Attempt

Last night was the Guiness record attempt for the most people Cretan dancing at once (Pentouzalis)....there were people dancing from Chania to Ayios Nikalaos on the side of the highway. Due to one or two organisational slip ups, some people missed it so I am not sure what is happening with the record. The main thing is that we had fun, and showed both tourists and others living here that we have a community spirit and pride in the culture! Take a look at one or two pictures...

Dancing in the three squares

Last night there was music and dancing in three local squares St Georges, Upper Panayia and the new square at Lower Half....I havent got any photographs, but Alex has given me permission to use some of his, thanks Alex!

Apology

Hi Everyone
A really big apology for not having posted for a while, but this was due to personal reasons. I am back and there is lots going on in the village at the moment to keep me busy posting.....
Sorry again

ASDA home delivery supreme.....

I have tried supermarket home deliveries in the UK, but this is the first time one has come to me here. Joanne, pictured arriving in the village square, brought me two big bags of goodies from ASDA, including 8 kilos of my favourite breakfast cereal (ASDA crunch with raisin, honey and almonds). Thank you so much Joanne.....if anyone else is coming out I can e-mail a wish list ;-)
