Symi Calendar 2017
Some more of Neil’s photos today. You might have seen the advert over on the right, for Neil’s Symi calendar 2017, if not, have a click and it will take you to the page at Lulu.com where the calendars are published. I know it might be a bit early to look for next year items but it’s also a good idea to start ordering your Christmas gifts now. Yes, I know! It’s still summer but I start my collecting well in advance so there is no great and sudden rush at the last minute.
Just below the calendar image on the Lulu sale site is a small word, ‘preview.’ If you click that you can browse through the images: Harani, Yialos and the Blue Star, Nos beach, St George, Koukoumas with girls in traditional costume, Pedi in the morning, the Poseidon, A wedding in Syllogos Square, the sea at sunset, the village and Castro at sunrise, the windmills and Pedi bay in the morning. Everyone’s favourite places and things captured in 12 great images.
He’s also got a cat calendar for sale, and again the link is over there on the right of this site and you can also do a preview there. Everyone’s favourite image of Jack, the Alarm Cat, is included. What little he makes from this calendar goes towards feeding the strays up the road from us as we are always ordering large bags of biscuits and, in the winter, trays of Rokus for them, giving them Jack’s left overs and water and generally keeping an eye. This means that the local animal charity, Symi Animal Welfare, doesn’t have to use its resources on these particular strays.
He was saying yesterday that he may not make another Symi calendar… we will have to wait and see. That’s mainly because he’s not out and about taking photos so much these days, now he doesn’t have the shop. But let’s hope there’s a change of mind there. Meanwhile, I’m going to start thinking about my Christmas ordering (can’t believe I’m writing about it in August, but it helps to cool me down) and I know a couple of people who are going to be getting a copy of the Symi Calendar 2017 in their festive parcel.
