Twists and Turns?

Where has the winter gone? After the soggy socks of February it’s time to hunt out those sunglasses again. It won’t be beach weather for another couple of months yet, although some of the Easter visitors might think differently. But spring has definitely arrived! March seemed to go by like a rocket, and now it’s serious gardening panic time at the Bugle ranch. We’ve got to get those seeds on the go very soon if we want to be eating home grown salad in the summer. And as for the weeding—jungle doesn’t even begin to describe it. Where’s that axe?! And how did it all grow so fast? But we’re not complaining, far from it. All across the island the spring flowers are starting to come into bloom and the countryside is looking fresh and green. It really is the most beautiful time of year to be here on Crete.

April Highlights:

On our Spotlight Page we focus on traditional Easter celebrations. We’ve got some stories about UFOs and give you a few helpful phrases in Greek. All this plus news and views from around town, handy household hints, updates from local enterprises, details of local community and charity events and much more!

About ‘The Bugle’

The Rethymnon Coffee Morning Bugle is an independent, monthly FREE publication that was started in January 2007 by the same team responsible for the www.rethymnon.biz website — Kate and Luc Brusten, who have been living and working in Rethymnon for a number of years. The Bugle is geared not only towards the international community living in Rethymnon, but also towards anyone who has an interest in the town. The aim of the publication is to be both informative and light hearted. We welcome feedback and written / photographic contributions from readers. We particularly welcome feature articles that have a Rethymnon slant; if you are considering submitting an article we would ask that you keep to an upper word limit of 500 words.

You will find our contact details and a listing of hard copy distribution outlets at the bottom of our This Month Page.

We hope you enjoy reading our April issue!
