Red Cage Fungus I wasn't going to partake in My Sunday Photo this week as the days are busy and time is limited. Then this morning as I was lying in bed listening to the quiet sounds that are only audible predawn, I thought why not? So up I got, let the dogs out, stuck the kettle on, checked on the ...

Coconut Shortbread Recipe
Coconut Shortbread Recipe This week I had planned to make some shortbread and update the photos in my previous shortbread recipe. My plan changed when Hubby returned from a shopping trip with yet more desiccated coconut instead of coconut chips! Having plenty of desiccated coconut already I ... [ Read More ]
Marathia, Zakynthos – Through My Lens
Marathia, Zakynthos Last week I wrote that many of us had foregone the Sunday walk to Marathia, Zakynthos because of the weather. Well, it turned out that the people that did go stayed nice and dry as it didn't rain. However this week the walk was repeated and guess what?... We got caught in a ... [ Read More ]
Puppies In Crime
Puppies In Crime Oh me! Oh my! What a dilemma! After sharing this photo of our two puppies in crime in another post, I wish I had saved it for my Sunday photo. So my dilemma was whether or not to share it again as My Sunday Photo? As a general rule, I don't usually use a photo more than once, but ... [ Read More ]

A Break In The Weather – Through My Lens
A Break In The Weather I had hoped to share with you some photos of Marathia this week. But alas the day started off so bad we decided early on that we weren't going to go, only for it to clear up (typical), not giving us time to get there for the start of the walk. Not to worry, I am sure we will ... [ Read More ]
Flirty Turkey
Flirty Turkey This week I felt so good as I had a Sunday photo all sorted and ready for this Sunday. Then as I was sorting through some photos on my camera I came across a photo of a turkey that I'd taken whilst out walking on Friday. It seems that Sunday photos are a little like buses, some weeks ... [ Read More ]
Kiliomenos, Zakynthos – Through My Lens
Kiliomenos, Zakynthos Last Sunday's walk was around the village of Kiliomenos, Zakynthos. This quaint old Greek village has a lovely olde world atmosphere with its mix of old tumbledown buildings and some more modern builds. Many of our Sunday walks start in this area as it is surrounded by ... [ Read More ]
Monday’s Supermoon
Monday's Supermoon As many of us saw, last Monday's moon was a supermoon. The moon's orbit of the earth is on an elliptical path, meaning that every now and again it passes closer to the earth than usual, giving us a full moon that is bigger and brighter than normal. I have to be honest and say ... [ Read More ]
The Supermoon As Seen From Zakynthos – Through My Lens
The Supermoon As Seen From Zakynthos Last Monday the moon was the closest to earth it has in sixty-nine years, resulting in what we have come to know as a supermoon. The moon was close enough to appear 14% larger than normal and if you were lucky enough to view it as it came over the horizon, ... [ Read More ]
