Back to the rain...

Will all this lot go into the car?
2000 Miles later it proves it has
 Well that's the end of our time in good old Yorkshire.  The only problem we had was logistical, could we move all this kit from the UK to Greece in a Renault Clio.  We folded down the seats got the top box fitted on and watched as the suspension got lower and lower.  One washing machine, one cooker, four solar panels and a mountain of ropes,

clothes and others bits and pieces later  it all went in and the doors actually shut!
Blue sky's and damsel flies in England before we left. 

We had an incident free trip across Europe with not a spot of rain for the entire journey, this is a first for us as we have never before until this week seen Switzerland without low cloud

and rain.  It was marvellous.  The only downside we had was a big stone hit the wind-shield whilst travelling through Germany.  This has resulted it quite a big chip in the middle so we will have to see if we can get this repaired before it develops into a big crack.

Grey sky's and rain here in Lefkas.

Just before we left home I took the photo of the damsel fly on number three son's washing line with the blue sky as a backdrop it was Mediterranean weather in the UK for probably the first time since we had been home, typical!  We arrived back at Vournikas at around one in the morning on Thursday with temperature in the mid twenties and we thought and at least we'll get some sun now.  Halfway through the day it started to get seriously cloudy with some rain by late afternoon, this was followed in the evening by violent thunder, wind and rain which looks likely to be staying around for several days so it seems that plan is out of the window for a day or two.
