At 3.59pm on Saturday (22 July) I was gardening when I was copied in on an email from our MD Chris Wright, asking our agent in Rhodes if they were all well and whether guests had been affected following news of wildfires on the island.
We are used to reacting to such fires in Greece. We do not have a large programme on Rhodes, as we use the island mostly as a gateway to the many Dodecanese islands, which form the basis of our low- and mid-season programmes in that area.
Chris happened to be on Paxos in the Ionian islands; Rachel, our marketing manager, was on holiday in rain-soaked Dorset, while Neil, our flights director, and Dudley, my co-director, were both at home.
