It's rained here for the first time in nearly a month. Alf isn't used to it.... Happy Caturday to all who celebrate.

It's lovely, but several sources misname this print... I used to live quite close to Ditchling Beacon. Fabulous views from up top.

I adore Cavafy. He's one of my favourite poets. This is his most famous poem, Ithaka. It was Jackie Onassis' favourite too, and she asked for it to be read at her funeral.

Beautiful sunset tonight. Lots of subtle layers. There's a south wind, so there's a little Sahara dust in the air. Adds to the vibe.

I see your dill recipes and I raise you. This is anithopita, or dill pie, a kind of pancake stuffed entirely with fresh dill leaves. It's a speciality of The Old Mill at Argyroupoli, one of our local tavernas here on Crete.

It's a day for poetry. I think. Wilfrid Owen is my favourite WWI poet. He was killed in action on November 4th 1918, exactly one week before the armistice.

It's really nice to read a positive post where something lovely happened to someone for a change. I'm happy you're happy. And it happened because someone did something nice for someone else. We must do more of this....so here are some flowers to celebrate your new kitchen!
