Fire and Wobbles

Fire is a great concern to everyone and although the village is away from the forests, we are surrounded by olives groves. The sound of helicopters flying overhead with large buckets of water slung below the fuselage, makes the heart sink and we rush out to see what direction they are flying. When we were in Souda, we could see the yellow fire planes scooping up water from the bay to drop on the fires in the South. Seeing smoke in the mountains is a real worry

We felt our first “wobble” yesterday. Having my siesta, I suddenly became aware of the day bed slightly moving – our first experience of a tiny earth tremor
