News of Esmerelda

I am pleased to report that
Esmerelda is living happily on Robbie's allotment
But I do wonder if he is a bit dyslexic and she seems to be employed as a
scare cow

Welcome to Janet & David to my blog

It was their idea to post this pic of the hibiscus flower that blew away and landed in the pool.


Beautiful

Greek Independence Day - 25th March

Lefkas Town - noon today


First of all there were prayers (and the wonderful smell of incense) and then wreathes were laid on the memorial.


The marching band played ...


And finally the school children marched - some of them in traditional dress

Wednesday 24th March

Welcome back Paul & Cathy

We decided to get the Pauls weighed and measured for the season -

Just as we will do with the tortoises when they are all awake and ready for summer!

Welcome to Tortusvill - one little chappie is awake!

Wednesday 17th March

This is our emergency water tank. (under the green cover)
"GOSH" I hear you say "How interesting!"
YOU would be interested if you lived here and the water had been off for -
well, we are not sure how long!
At least since Monday, but maybe longer.
If you want to come & see us just follow your nose!

Tuesday 16th March

Spring must be on the way. These are the trees in the car park of the marina - just where I park my car.
Flowering cherry?

Weather forcast

I have tried out the link that I have given you below and it does not seem to work.
Can't see why..
If all else fails
Go to Holiday-Weather.com and follow the links to Lefkas
(or if you live here just look out of the window [porthole])

Monday 15th March

Gosh it has turned cold!!
It was freezing (well, not literaly) at the Derby yesterday and does not feel much better now the sun has gone down today.
Sunny skies, no rain and temperatures almost up to those forcast in the UK for the rest of the week!
Especially for the Mitchell family:-
Might be worth keeping an eye on the forcast ready for the hols !

Sunday 14th March



Hard to pick an image from the Soap Box Derby but this has to be one of the best! OK Robbie came last but one but at least he was going slowly enough to get a good photo!

Happy Mother's Day


This is a photo of my beautiful 3D Mother's Day card that Victoria made for me
The picture does not do it justice - may try to take another when it is light tommorrow.

Flash, Linda, Mark and Kevan (well the back of his head)
