House-hunting in Crete

---

Well, got to live somewhere later in life - London is so expensive, it's impossible...However, decided that Crete wasn't for me - unless I wanted to spend my life rebuilding - starting with a roof! And Kate and I had a great holiday, our balcony overlooked the sea and it was great to be back in this part of the world. But house-hunting for later in life is just going to have to wait a bit longer...

We loved whizzing around having a look everywhere though - Krista was the village I thought looked most likely for me, but not to be. We grabbed a boat out to Spinalonga - the 'Leper Island', now abandoned - a very still place, surrounded by vivid turquoise sea and lots of remnants of the old Turkish architecture, overlaid with more recent buildings - all of it ruined. We both loved the old town in Rethymnon and Kate had a fabulous jamming session with a the owner of a totally eccentric shop!

Around the lake
a great place to laze around in Agios

Biscuit house, so called because
the old lady who lives next door is desperate for a new neighbour and rushed out with biscuits every time I went back to see it...I almost bought it - it had a good roof terrace, but...

Inspecting the roof...
can I get a roof terrace up there?!

Kate and shop owner
