Tortoise? Of Course!
We spotted this wild tortoise crossing the road when we were on our travels in the Peloponnese last month ‘Wild? I was furious’ said the tortoise when asked (hey, as you all know, the old jokes are the best….!). We had a great time away in Italy and the Peloponnese, and thanks to everyone for their wonderful hospitality but it was so great to get back to Rethymnon, too. Sometimes you do need a bit of a break to truly appreciate the beauty of Crete. As the ferry sailed into Souda bay, the editor got all teary eyed. As she stood on the car deck for two hours waiting for the upstairs ramp to move she got less teary eyed, but let’s not dwell on that. And thank you ANEK for all that lovely olive oil!
June Highlights
On our Spotlight Page we feature fish. In fact, you’ll find quite a few fish references in our June issue. This has nothing to do with the fact that a couple of kittens have recently joined the editorial team. You will read about the trauma that can result from being named after a car, there is a great cocktail recipe and some potentially controversial comments about gender stereotypes. All this plus news and views from around town and much more!
About ‘The Bugle’
The Rethymnon Coffee Morning Bugle is an independent, monthly FREE publication that was started in January 2007
(how time flies). The Bugle is an English language publication that is geared not only towards the Greek and international community living and working in Rethymnon, but also to anybody who likes our town (or would like to know our town) and loves Crete. The aim of the Bugle 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 June issue!
