Nea Chora Beach
(Markers and coloured pencils in small square sketchbook)
Last year, Pat and I decided to carry out a plan we'd thought about for quite some: we'd find an apartment abroad and spend as long as possible there, me painting and drawing, Pat reading and sitting in the sun.
We settled on an apartment in Chania, just outside the old town. We've grown to love Chania over the years and it has a very special place in our hearts. The apartment gave us easy access to the Old Town and Venetian Harbour, had a kitchen and bathroom, a patio and garden to sit out in and a good big table to work on indoors. Just round the corner was a very good supermarket and, of course, there are more restaurants than you can shake a stick at (should that be your favoured method of counting restaurants). We were there from the end of August to the end of October, the weather was great and it wasn't long before we felt perfectly at home.
Walking out right at the beginning of our stay, we had lunch in a taverna overlooking the beach at Nea Chora, the new harbour. Determined to make a success of this working holiday, I got out my little square sketchbook and made a start.
