Christmas Jumpers... Although it's still only November and being a firm believer that Christmas shouldn't really start until December (to prevent Christmas overload), I will admit to feeling more than a little Christmassy. It all started on Monday when I decided that this was the year we were ... [ Read More ]

Please Don’t Make The Christmas Pudding Mum!…
[countdown] Christmas Traditions... Many of us have our own Christmas traditions that we look forward to and enjoy every Christmas. And we are no different, although maybe one of our traditions was ( I say was, as it was one that had to go). For more years than I care to remember I ... [ Read More ]
Music…
Looking back over my week, I think my Word Of The Week has to be Music as at the beginning of the week I dedicated far too many hours to sorting out my old Sony Walkman MP3 devices. I have two Walkman MP3 players, both of them are rather on the old side and as I look after them they are both ... [ Read More ]
Dandelion Clock
Dandelion Clock A dandelion clock never fails to take me back in time. What person of a certain age never attempted to tell the time by blowing the umbrella like seeds from a seeded dandelion head? I know I did. It was fun! And it got me into trouble on more than one occasion for being late. I ... [ Read More ]
My Plan To Tackle Those Tasks!

Treasure Hunt In Aid Of The Stray Dogs On Zakynthos
The Treasure Hunt... A few weeks back I was asked to make a cake for a treasure hunt being held to raise funds for the stray dogs on Zakynthos. It was nice to be asked as I used to create novelty cakes to order, as a little side earner when the children were small. It was something that I enjoyed ... [ Read More ]
Mommy Reality #22 – Mummy Breakfast
Firstly I would like to pay my respects to those bloggers out there who manage to consistently post several blog posts a week, be active on social media and host/partake in blog hops on a weekly basis. It is not an easy task by far! I enjoy taking part in the Mommy Reality Challenge (hosted by ... [ Read More ]
My Summer Look Back…
Summers End... October 31st is what we think of as the last day of summer, it's the last day of our six month tourist season. In the next day or two the airport will close for all international flights and will only open for the island hopper, which comes over from Athens daily. The shops and ... [ Read More ]
Pleased…
This week there were several words that I would like to have used for my Word Of The Week post, but I settled on the word Pleased as that is how I've been feeling for the most part of it. Why I Have Been feeling Rather Pleased... Back in September my blog theme was updated, for anyone who ... [ Read More ]
