The writing's on the wall

Wednesday 7 August 2013

In ancient times they painstakingly carved words of wisdom into huge blocks of stone – even accounts of construction costs were recorded in this way.

Such fine inscriptions carved on the temple walls at Delphi

Accounting record of construction costs at Epidaurus

Nowadays the writing is still on the wall….

Or the hull of the shipwreck.....

Or the toilet block.....

Or the warehouse.....

Or the alleyway......

Or the old steam engines....

Or even a poor camper van - like ours but, thankfully, not ours!

But most annoyingly on the road signs….

It’s hard enough to fathom out the Greek alphabet anyway without it being defaced beyond all recognition!
