Holiday and football

Had a great break in October in Crete. Really a summer holiday in mid October. A real contrast to the weather in the UK. Hot and sunny for all 10 days. Arrived in Chania, stayed in Rethmyno. Beach side hotel, just a quick walk to the old town. Two trips, Spinaloga / Knossos and Previli palm beach / gorge on the south coast.

Managed to catch the Sunderland Leeds game where the goalie error secured a late point. Leeds fans with head in hands in the bar. Also England vs Greece.

Ten games in and top is better than I thought we would do. The two away games I have been to Plymouth and Watford were lost so can see how it could go. But they do seem to have recruited some players that could see it through the season unlike last year, Chris Mepham and Alan Browne look good. Wilson Isidor is scoring and I look forward to seeing Abdul Samed when fit. Chris Rigg and Jobe getting better at present. So far so good. The young squad could fade and injuries take their toll but fingers crossed.

Below are a selection of snaps from the Crete break. Greek food is healthy and tasty, so now a convert.
