That wraps up the season! Tomorrow, Jenny, the Boys & I go for our camping beach holiday for a week or so.
Please log on in the coming weeks as when I return I will be posting the end of season report in which I will look back at some of the highlights of the year and I will continue to blog as much as possible in the coming months. This is going to be a very interesting winter for a lot of reasons, not least of which is that we can share it with you all through this blog.
See you in a week or 10 days and keep clicking the ads!

Last Night 2006
Here are some of the folks who helped us celebrate the end of the Season!
First we have Steve, Sally & Millie who have a beautiful house at Kondoura
Next photo is Stephen & Olga with good friends form Scotland - Steve, Caroline, Lotte and Alistair who think we should start a restaurant in Edinburgh. Well, you never know!
Dave & Gina were on hand as well. Thanks for all the books and the bottle of bubbly! That will go down well on the beach next week!
I Don't know who these people are, I took the photo as I went past the table.

Better late than never!
Calypso & Paleochora regulars Dave & Gina eventually showed up - a little later than usual. This year they have travelled independently, finding a cheap flight and booking a room locally.
Adoram, from France and his lovely girlfriend Laura, from Italy, spent a stormy evening in Calypso with Laura's father.

Mediterranean Meze for 2
People ask us what is on our large Meze. Well, it changes a bit according to what we have got but to give you an idea, here's one Charlotte prepared earlier
The Wilkinsons are a familiar name here at Calypso. They have the good sense to always reserve a table and, quite often, pre-order the dishes they will want. At this time of year when most nights we are full, they avoid disappointment!
Brent & Wendy returned for their second holiday in Paleochora recently. Here they are just about to journey home. Whilst here, Wendy kicked her cigarette habit. Bravo girl! See you in the spring!

007 days? or 0014 days?
We had a visit from a group of agents today. They are not the secret kind, they are all travel agents on a fact -finding whistle-stop tour of Sunvil Holidays resorts here in Crete. It's a hard job but.........etc etc. Instead of saying they are 'licenced to kill', you could say they are 'licenced to dispatch' - you on your hols!

I caught up with Ed & Rose last night. They last had a holiday here 2 years ago ( It doesn't seem that long!) and last year thay went to somewhere I will not mention (not a million miles away with a red flag). They have visited Calypso 4 or 5 times on this holiday but each time I have been looking after my boys. Good to finally see you and have a chat.

Paleochora regulars Denis and Pat were in last night for a bit of spice. Both enjoyed the Lamb curry - good job they pre-ordered it!
Viking Invasion!!!!!
We played host to 20 people on holiday in Paleochora from Norway last night. They comprise of 4 families and come to Crete every year. Thankfully there was little in the way of raping and pillaging going on and they behaved themselves impeccably!
Happy birthday!
Regular customers from years past, Brian & Frances returned this week. They were in on Friday to celebrate Frances' birthday with friend Sarah, centre.
