I am quite excited. Back in October I was asked if I'd be interested in a job that entailed looking after a private villa that is rented out for the summer season, next year. I've known the chap who owns the villa for years and used to work for his holiday company a few years back, when the children ... [ Read More ]

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 ]

Why I Blog…
I was recently asked by someone I know if I make any money from blogging and when I said I didn't they thought it was wasting my time. Their reaction did catch me off guard and I was stuck for words, mainly because I didn't get their logic, but also partly because this I sort of took it personally. ... [ Read More ]

It's time to take part in the latest Mommy Reality Challenge and as this one ends on the eve of Halloween, the hosts, Jen and Celeste have come up with the rather appropriate challenge of getting us Mums to share a photograph of something scarey in our lives. We recently threw away some very ... [ Read More ]
Change
Change... This weeks has been all about change. On Wednesday, after a long summer, my husband finally finished his summer job of working in a hotel beach bar. Living on a Greek island means that summer working hours can be long and most summer jobs don't come with a day off; unless you work for ... [ Read More ]
School Strikes?
School Strikes By Students?... What's that all about? I can vaguely remember one school strike happening at the high school I went to and it was pathetic to say the least. I can't even remember what it was about, but it was arranged that after the bell to start afternoon lessons went off, ... [ Read More ]
Flu Jabs
It won't be long until it is cold and flu season (I am trying to ignore the fact that I have already suffered my first snuffles of the winter!) At this time of year school children are the most vulnerable to colds, flu and every other sickness that happens to be doing the rounds in the classroom, so ... [ Read More ]
