Hi Bill,just spotted your plaintive message.

Christmas certainly wasn't cancelled - far from it! The festive season continues here right through to the Epiphany on 6 January.

We're all on holiday at the moment but we'll get some people photos up soon for those of you who are pining!

Just to cheer up Bill a bit, I've posted a few old photos on:

Click on the Photographs link. I do have hundreds of Symi photos over the years. Perhaps I should put some more up and indulge myself. Mike has the link to my Kodak gallery.

Thanks for that Richard, some good photos.

I think it's just a tad poor of a Symi based organisation not to update during such an important period to tourists and relatives who use the services of SV.

Mike's just put some up and I've just emailed him some more. I'm still wrestling with my DIY web classes... :idea:

Remember Christmas is a much more personal festival here in Greece so much of the activity is behind closed doors as it were. I've shared with you some of my personal pictures where the participants didn't mind my putting them up. (I hope :twisted:

)

Carnival, Clean Monday and Easter are more public events with street parties etc. Athens is a different story to the islands as they have gone the western route with winter theme parks etc. This is the first year on Symi that the municipal Christmas decorations have actually all been up and running more than a few days before Christmas! :geek:

I agree, but some people must be "Out and About" or something happening over a 2 week period? If only a few pics of the decorations and Symi to inspire us in this wet and dismal landscape.

Has anybody else experienced the Epiphany on Symi?

Thank you.

Only in a spiritual sense.

[/quote]LOL! Thanks for brightening up a dull Sunday morning Richard!

Could have been the Biblical sense, Allan.

Richard,

does that mean your a medium.... or X-LARGE?

Oh dear

by **Richard** » 08 Jan 2007, 16:31

I don't know how to answer that one on a public board. I'm off to finish cooking Adriana's lemon chutney ... it's safer.
Thanks for being so restrained, Geoff. We'll try to look after our county captain for you next season, make sure he doesn't overstrain himself or drink too much screech.

Let me know how you get on with the chutney!

I've found that an added bonus is that the vinegary steam is great for clearing the sinuses

by **Richard** » 08 Jan 2007, 22:38

The chutney seems fine although the steam has stripped the paint from my kitchen ceiling.
I have posted a few 2006 Symi photos on

Hi Richard,

Sounds like you got the mix right! Now you just have to let it mature for a few weeks. It keeps forever - just gets darker with age. I made dozens of jars during the first Gulf War - helped to pass the time during the air raids and the lemons were free. The others sharing the yacht we'd converted into bomb shelter No. 1 did rather think that the chemical warfare going on inside was more lethal than anything Saddam was lobbing at us at the time but there's probably still a lone circumnavigator somewhere breaking open the last jar of Adriana's lemon chutney, Jaffa 1991!

As you doubtless know we have a place on the website for visitors' photos so if you email them to Mike he'll put them there. My favourites are the storm ones that Glen Beestone took in October.
