Well the weather has been unsettled across Europe all summer as you have seen o our blogs….. We headed back from Ghent towards Wessem in dull, wet or extremely variable weather but not the summer we expected.
One minute sunny, then rain and misty mornings…
We had a quick trip back to Bournemouth for Dawns and Alvins’ daughters wedding at the end of August. Really good trip catching up with old friends from NZ and UK.
Girls from School, Me with Dawn, Yazmin, and Sue. And then The Bride, Holly.

Sunday morning down to Bournemouth Beach for a few drinks, picnic at Dawns brothers Beach Hut.
Alvin, Max, Sue & Chris May and Dawn.
On returning to Holland we decided to bed down KIWI ROSE for the winter in Wessem, sort out the repainting job and the various winter jobs to be done and head for warmer climates….GREECE…our favourite country..
First a red bike, then we got upgraded to a white 200cc ,,,,, cool !!!!
A visit to Rhodes old town with its amazing old walls, cobbled streets and harbour.
These two columns are meant to represent where The Colossus of Rhodes was meant to have stood all those years guarding the old harbour.
Then a visit to The Ancient Acropolis of Rhodes…
Our newly favourite discovered beach, quiet and with a bar !!! A bit of a climb back up at the end of the day, but the Mythos awaited everytime…
So the end of the year….. Back to Uk to start a real life again,, working !!!
so goodbye till next summer…
A few lovely moments to share, a skiing trip with our two beautiful daughters, Emma and Claire in Italy in April this year,,, first timer skiing all together in 11 years… Why is it that they still can beat us down a slope so effortlessly??.
And the Americas Cup yachting…( with Graham Berry)…..all watched on an Iphone….
