Wrong Country?!!

After posting yesterday's blog entry, we still had some time in Rhodes before leaving for Diagoras airport. Wandered past a park area we have passed before, but never noticed the muslim graveyard there. Some wonderful grave markers.
Nice minaret over the area.
One last time by the Aegean before we had to go to the airport...
At the airport, waiting for our flight to be called. Luckily, we were just about on time, and even managed to get a bit of extra leg room on the plane. Arrived on time and leisurely wait before we caught our train back to Bath. Got home just before midnight, so we didn't have to wake up our house sitters!
In the (cold) light of a UK day, the garden looked luscious - especially after the relative sparseness of Symi vegetation.
Took our house sitters down to the station before taking Bella out for a walk over at Stanton Drew. Saw this unusually shaped old lock up.
Not the famous stone circle (which does not allow dogs) but a nearby other example.  Lots of stone age activity in this area.
We finished off our walk with a yummy end-of-holiday lunch at the Pony and Trap in Newtown. Great vista.
This day a year ago, Su saw a big fallen branch at Weston church (most excitement there for some time!) and photographed this unusual figure on a house there.
Apologies if this blog isn't very inspired - still recovering from the culture shock of not being in Greece with warm temperatures and blue skies (even if there were big clouds!). It may take some time - plans are being laid for our next visit to Symi already. More will be revealed when details are firmed up…
