Duh, I was there only last month. And there’s a reason the grass is green … ☔️
Nice little cafe just back down the road, Crafts & Things, worth a visit.

Just watched a BBC Scotland news report that hoards of Londoners and other posh southern softies are rushing north to experience our lovely cool climate.
Result?
Absolutely, accommodation prices have skyrocketed, some over double the normal prices quoted.
Thanks. Now fook off home and leave our midgies where you found them.

You weren’t sharing the sunshine when it was pissing it down up here and you were getting suntans. It’s ours.

First full day in Kavala 🇬🇷 today, having flown into Thessaloniki and travelled across yesterday.

Met up with fellow MOT Forum member, ‘leedsalex’ this afternoon and had a good chat over a couple of beverages. My thanks to Alex, who I PM’d a few times before we came out for advice and tips 👍

He is without doubt a lifelong and committed LUFC fan 👍

In Kavala until Saturday and then a ⛴️ across to the island of Thassos for a week.

He certainly is, I've met Alex at away matches as he used to travel with the Griffin Supporters Branch, (he may still do.)

A nice bloke!

Enjoy your holiday, Cat.

I know and that’s exactly what Sarah thinks. I also then get accused of encouraging them, she’s not a fan, notwithstanding we’ve had Muppet for the past 17 or so years.

I even buy sachets of food for them 😊
