It's all Greek to me!

Where have I been lately? picture may be a clue!
My sister describes the need for a 'Greek fix' every few years and I know what she means. My friend Helen and I went to Rhodes recently and sitting in a taverna by the sea in Lindos with the sounds of Greek music and the waves lapping on the beach was pure bliss. We just needed Tom Conti to be sitting in the corner strumming his guitar for the complete effect. I recommend watching Shirley Valentine about mid- January if you haven't seen it already - you'll be online to TUI in no time!
Greece is lovely at this time of year, still warm and not busy. The resorts close at the end of October so all of the staff were de-mob happy. I was however, surprised at how run down it is and very dry, with many rivers completely dried up. I guess I am used to Normandy which is such a clean and green country. All the towns here make such an effort to keep everywhere clean and the flower displays and roundabouts a sight to behold.
Where haven't I been lately?
I have one grouch this week, I arrived back late from my holiday and drove down from Calais. I was re-directed off of the motorway three times due to roadworks. I know that they have to be done but they seem to do them all at the same time and the directions are very poor. The signs are very small and difficult to see in the dark or are non-existent. I went around a roundabout at least 5 times as I had no idea which way I was going. Fortunately, it was late so the roads were very quiet. At one stage I was directed off of the péage and I had to come back on again on the other side (will I be charged twice I wonder?). I was stopped by someone in a yellow vest which had flashing lights in it (what an excellent stocking filler I thought!). He asked me to stop for 5 minutes which I did. I waited, expecting to see a lorry or work vehicle come through, nothing and after 5 minutes he said I could go - very strange!
Αντίο!!
