Chronia Polla (Χρονια Πολλα) Rodanthe

Today is the name day for all women and girls named Rodanthe.  To "celebrate" we took a walk to the Secret Plateau and the site of the battle in which Rodanthe, the heroine of my story died.

I will soon need to write the key battle chapter at the end of the book so I wanted the area to be fresh in my mind before we set off for the UK.

Another way to celebrate this day is to show this photo of Nigel at work in his studio on a figure of a young girl sat working at her crochet - in my version of the story this scene occurs whilst Rodanthe was at school.
