Have a good weekend! Happy #caturday! Another glorious day. Did some shopping & now will go for a little walk. This cat is keeping guard outside Hellenic Social. The village is so peaceful at this time of year #Nov2016 #lambisstory #ioschora #iosisland2016 #cyclades_islands #myios2016 #lambsios #tumblr #iosvillage #iosgreece2016 #autumnonios #iloveios (at Ios, Chora)

Walking along this magnificent deserted beach, not only filled my lungs with fresh sea air and energy from the waves, but also gave me space to think. I've allowed myself to be too upset and angry at recent political events. The way forward is not by hatred, but by trying to understand why things happen & how we can change this by reaching out & love. #thehippieswereright Meanwhile I'm going to enjoy the glorious day on this beautiful island. And then back home I'll listen to Leonard Cohen & say goodbye and thank you #Nov2016 #iosinnovember #lambisstory #mylopotasbeach #iosgreece2016 #cyclades_islands #myios2016 #tumblr #lambsios #iosisland2016 #autumnonios #iloveios (at Mylopotas Beach)

Was going to walk down to the port, but when I realised which way the wind was blowing, I decided Mylopotas would be more dramatic. It was so invigorating walking along the deserted beach with waves crashing against the shore. Looked for shells, but with little success - will have to wait until the north wind blows again & uncovers what's been thrown out by the sea. Very luckily I was offered a lift up to the village, so didn't have to wait an hour for the bus #Nov2016 #lambisstory #mylopotaswaves #harmonyios #mylopotasbeach #lambsios #tumblr #blueholics #autumnonios #iosisland2016 #cyclades_islands #iosinnovember #iosgreece2016 #iloveios #myios2016 (at Mylopotas Beach)

Yesterday I was delighted to bump into this talented duo. Lovely to catch up with them. Although Ios is a small island, it's easy not to bump into friends for weeks on end unless you make some effort. Anyway this creative pair gave me a push to get back to the de-cluttering so I can make some space to work in. Having a break today (table nearly finished) & going for a walk while the sun is out #Nov2016 #lambisstory #ioschora #myios2016 #iosvillage #iosisland2016 #autumnonios #iosgreece2016 #iloveios (at Ios, Chora)

On my way home. I nipped out to get some more shoe boxes & then went home & had my curry. Am tired of clearing up, will go to bed & read my book #Nov2016 #bw #lambisstory #iosisland2016 #myios2016 #tumblr #cyclades_islands #iosgreece2016 #lambsios #autumnonios #iloveios #ioschora #iosvillage #thereslightattheendofthetunnel (at Ios, Chora)

On my way home after a lovely evening at the Mills. Malcolm was celebrating his coming to live on the island 12 years ago. Thanks for the great evening Mal. Will try & sleep a bit before checking out the results of the US election. I do like the way the churches are lit up at night #Nov2016 #lambisstory #ios_island #cyclades #greece #tumblr #cyclades_islands #iosgreece2016 #lambsios #myios2016 #iosisland2016 #autumnonios #iloveios (at Ios Greece Island)

It turned out to be a sunny day in the end, but I only went for a short walk round the village. Did some garden work and made another attack on my room. Another 5 giga bags of rubbish and one more wall clear. Tomorrow I'm ready for the worst bit - the table & the desk. When that's done, I can concentrate on sorting out my studio/storage room. I'm surprised at how therapeutic it's been to have a clear out & get some order in the place. Next you know, I'll be playing some music ..... Better get ready now as I'm going up to The Mills tonight #Nov2016 #lambisstory #viewfromfrancescos #ios_island #cyclades #greece #tumblr #myios2016 #lambsios #autumnonios #cyclades_islands #iosgreece2016 #iosisland2016 #iloveios (at Ios, Greece)

What better way to end off the evening (& indeed the season) than with a delicious #espressomartini at Lord Byron's. The place was filled with friends, as I had expected, taking advantage of a last meal here for this year. I thank all of the #lordbyronios team for all the great times - and food - they've provided us with this season & wish them a well-deserved rest #Nov2016 #lambisstory #lordbyrons #iosisland2016 #myios2016 #tumblr #iosgreece2016 #lambsios #autumnonios #iloveios (at Lord Byron)
