Spent Xmas in Penzance with Gwyneth. Stayed at the Egyptian House as before and the highlights included the imprtant (and final) parts of the Montol festival with the appearance of Penglaz (or Obby Oss) and being selected to Mark the Moke. Also being able to finally visit the whole of St Michael's Mount since they decided on a bit of winter opening.

Thanks for all the brilliant pressies :)

National Day

Turkish National Day came with a mega firework display and since my apartment came with a mega balcony with a view ...

Stay with it to see the amazing curtain of fire from the Bosphorous Bridge.

Singapore

A trip to Singapore for business, met up with the parents, visited Sungei Buloh nature reserve and a video of a lizard ...

In October, I went back to Crete with Gwyneth. We hired a car this time to get to some less accessible areas (nick named "the pram" since it was a tiny Kia but it managed to get across the mountians and some crazy roads) and we said for the whole week at Kato Zakros on the East Coast.

Kato Zakros is a very quiet village at the end of the road and is a really excellant place to spend an interesting week.

We spent most of the time sitting on beaches and eating with some additional visits to minoan and other sites.

Photos ... for those who wan to see ...
