28 October 2009 :  Back in UK now.  Very good windsurfing at Lepe in Hampshire last Sunday : 5m sail on Tabou Rocket 105.
 
19 October 2009 We had a good 2 weeks in Kouremenos in October and the weather was warm and sunny apart from 2 cloudy/showery days. The first week was windy and the second week light.  We had a few good mountain bike rides including a climb up to Xerolimni wind farm at 450m.  We made some progress on the house.  Still a lot to do.
