Sounds like you have had a fabulous holiday.
You have taken some increibly amazing photos, we all can only hope to take anything that amazing!
I stole the cliff one for my desktop background... it's all so very... windswept... and interesting...
Thank you my children... internets here in Kos are a bit primitive (all the computers here are made out of giant stone cogs and gears, and powered by dripping water) so it might be a while before you see any more pics from me
My talk is tomorrow morning, and the Sav-man is here so we're discussing my Australia visit in the summer.
xx all, more news as it comes to hand.
It's so nice to see those pictures. We lived in Normandy for a year when I was 10, and I totally remember those cliffs. Lovely.
Are you sweating in Kos?
Did you ride a donkey at any point?
Was it sweating?
