Sounding the Horn!
January, and it’s time to blow our own trumpet again. We are three years old this month! Hard to believe just how much has happened since we started our little newsletter back in 2007. And we never expected that the Bugle would take off in quite the way that it has. It’s a source of real pleasure to us, and once again we’d like to thank everyone who has helped to make it such a success. Let’s hope this continues in 2010. Anyway, back to Rethymnon life: The holidays here were full on in terms of the party scene, and it might take us a bit of time to recover—but as you will see from this edition, this is always assuming the town gives us any time to recover! They sure know how to party here! Weather, all things considered, was very good (especially compared to Northern Europe) and we felt ourselves to be extremely fortunate to be here. Happy New Year everyone!
January Highlights
We see in the New Year with an article about komboloi (Greek worry beads). There’s a funky octopus story, and a holiday picture gallery. And, of course there’s news from around town, details of local community and charity events, the recipe and the crossword 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 January issue!
