Update to our Whereabouts......

This is an update for all you confused people over the other side of the world as to where we are, and what we're doing!

We are still in France and winter has hit with a vengence. We are here in the Montagnac house until 31 December, and are then moving to a friend's apartment at La Tamissiere, near the town of Agde, for January. Its a small studio apartment, which overlooks the mouth of the Herault River and we do have the Med about a 5 minute walk, or bike ride away. Internet will be a little restricted, but we're hoping to get a dongle with mobile access, and the one cafe open in La Tam seems to have internet. We won't have a landline there. On 31 January we head up to Paris and I arrive in Sydney on 4th February and will spend a few days there before going to NZ until 15th Feb. Peter stops off in LA to visit his Mum and arrives in Sydney on 16th February. I will have my usual Oz mobile (0414 263 085) up and running, but no landline for the first 4 weeks there.

Our move to Greece takes place in mid April, after spending a couple of weeks back in France gathering up our belongings. The plan is to still spend time in France each year, and we hope to come back here, probably to cool off, sometime around October. Of course, visits to Oz and NZ will be factored in as long as the funds allow.

Wishing you all a very Merry Xmas and everything you wish for in 2010.

A Painting a Week - No 37



For Sale - 7th December 2009
[SOLD]
Greek Blue, Koroni
Size: 21 x 15cm
Price A$80
(Plus A$10 postage and handling)

Here we have a little snippet of Greece - this is one of many photos I've taken of 'Greek Blues' whilst wandering the streets of Koroni, our little haven in the south of the Pelopennese. Its actually rather a challenge painting what appears to be a relatively simple blue and white picture. I was determined to get the feeling of the 'grittiness' on the painted walls - something most of the whitewashed buildings have in abundance!
