I want there to be plenty of cloud at night as I like it warmer. Tim seems not to need heating up, an ideal pensioner in Rachel Reeves’ Britain. A clear sky allows him to photograph the stars which in an area like this with little glare can produce stunning results.
Meanwhile on the higher taygetos mountains above us there is now snow. In years gone by I’d send a photo of this to my late Uncle Chris Booker, a high profile global warming sceptic as proof that there was plenty of global warming falling here in Southern Greece. There is more forecast to fall tonight.
Meanwhile in Northern Greece, in places such as Anelion where I spent childhood holidays, there are warnings that the snowfalls, which happen every year, are this year now unusually heavy. Roads are being closed, villages are cut off. That’s climate change for you.
