It’s Raining In Lefkada :: Βρέχει στην Λευκάδα

June 3, 2019Fred Hart Leave a comment

The change in the weather meant I had gone from 28 degrees, clear skies, Sunny in Glyfada; when I filled up with petrol in Athens I was greeted with a very cheerful: «Καλημέρα, καλή εβδομάδα, καλό καλοκαίρι» (Good morning/week/Summer) to… Continue reading →

Ιt felt like an English spring day and it was warm enough that I could take my coat off. Warm enough that I forgot that we are only 2 and a bit weeks away from Christmas.

Athens to Halkida

October 21, 2016Fred Hart Leave a comment

The weather in Greece at this time of year isn’t exactly cold, but it is the sort of weather where you might want to have a jumber with you. In the sunshine it is pleasantly warm – like an English… Continue reading →

I’m Fred Hart, from Cirencester in Gloucestershire.

I’m a Stock Controller by day; Out of my day job I’m a radio producer/presenter by night and the technical expert at Corinium Radio.

I spend my weekends driving abroad. I’m interested in politics, news & current affairs, baking, and my two cats.

I read, write, and speak Greek and German. University of Gloucestershire Radio Production graduate. Based in Cirencester but often found on the road both in the UK and abroad.

I blog about my travels, home baking, things I get up to at the weekend and politics.

I’m autistic, I have depression and anxiety, and travelling and presenting my radio show are often what keep me going.
