Darn good thing they grow here or the Greeks never would have left the mainland.
A lot of timber was shipped down from Macedonia in the Classical period. They were the only people in 'Greece' who had timber tall enough to make oars from
You'd think they'd want 'long', not 'tall'.:D
Why do you think that the Irish ended up using boats made of skins stretched over a frame
Just thought I'd mention it again. Amazon has cut the price of Swords for a Dead Lady. It's now £2.63 from http://www.amazon.co.uk/Swords-Dead-L... Haven't a clue how long it'll last because they never bothered telling me in the first place
Went to Sparta and climbed Mystras today, Jim.I'm knackered.
Right then, can you jump up into the air, kick your bottom with your heels and then land on your feet?Standard training for Spartan girls.
(Who were expected to by physically fit, have lots of children and do all the organisation and admin that didn't pertain directly to warfare :-) )
Just tried. Landed in the pool, thank goodness.
Think I'd make a good despot, though.
better a despot than a tosspot!
Gonna climb up to this little darling in the next few days, too.http://www.gtp.gr/TDirectoryDetails.a...
Yep, will post on Facebook as usual.

Looks fascinating

How do you steal a mountain?
If I post a picture of my bacon will you steal that for Tsarina?

Nope. Too far. Looks wonderful though.
Patti (baconater) wrote: "Nope. Too far. Looks wonderful though."Wasn't sure how your plans were going. I guess it's one of those under publicised places
oh and how about this to keep your garden tidy

Yes but nicking it 17 tons at a time is a lot more time consuming than nicking it 40 tons at a time
Surely if you're nicking it 17 tonnes at a time then, at the least, you need another tractor. In which case, why would you nick one.
Because you've already got a tractor...
Just borrow a Vogon Constructor Fleet
Bit OTT and means having to cope with Vogons :-(
Ah but they have a weakness for poetry.
Well just one vessel then.
Or small jewelled crabs.
But I did see a Roe deer yesterday evening as I took Sal (our dog) for a walk to see that sheep were OK
I saw a herd of goats with a real, live goat herd yesterday.Would have made a poignant photo if we'd not blown past at 80kph.
I like having the car as it gives us a huge range of travel, of course but as I was saying to Dave, one does feel removed from things.
There's a blog topic for you, Jim.
How can one experience a culture through the window of an air conditioned vehicle?
That's a interesting point.On the other hand I discovered that when I was working in a field on a tractor, wild life ignored me as just another noisy herbivore or something.
The minute I got out of the tractor I was a human being and everything immediately went to ground!

Same thing with the neighbourhood cats - they'll sit and watch the car arrive, but as soon as you get out, they scarper.
I wonder if you'd get the same effect sitting on a horse...

On yer bike, Richard.
Back home, I found I was able to get quite close to deer whilst riding but they'd scarper if I was on foot. Bunnies, too.Although I remember one magical moment when a deer walked up and ate out of my hand. I was quietly sitting under a silver birch reading at the time, though.

Hey folk, Patti just challenged Richard to a cycle race up Mount Taygetos
Bags I the popcorn
If Patti and Richard are on bikes and Jim is on a tractor, doesn't he have an unfair advantage?
He would have to be handicapped.
