The New Year and we are still on Crete where the rain has arrived and the waves are lashing the shoreline. We then visit Heraklikon, Rethymno and Kalyves where a walk up the hill takes in a view of the white Mountains
and Zoa points at a cat:
We also go back to Rethymno to collect a few things and for a while the sun shines.
After some time trolling around Crete we leave for the Peleponnese and visit the fortress in Napflio
then head to Hydra
and further around the coast to Koliada where Zoa goes for a splash.

Before we head to Abbotsbury for a visit to Chesil Beach based on a stay in the carpark
Then we head for our Devon home and walks along the Dart in the mornings
and back behind the town in the afternoon.
There is even a full moon and we sometimes hit the morning walk before sunrise and even before the dawn chorus.
The weather is doing us proud.
We also take a walk uptowards the Avon dam.
And spend time in the garden
But what Zoa really, really likes to do is stalk and chase the squirrels on Vere Island.
Then we head off to Cornwall for the beaches.
