Greece so far

Published by

We have been officially living in Greece for three weeks on Wednesday. It’s been some rich three weeks. Rich in experience, rich in joy, rich in frustrations. What have we gained? A new home in a wonderful neighbourhood, close to friends and people who are genuinely kind and helpful. Humbled time and again is how I felt by the amount of care and help we have received so far. From being welcomed to the airport to having us connected to their own energy supply for the last three days(long story, I won’t get into details). From being invited for coffee SPONTANEOUSLY on Sunday morning to having a glyko(sweet) at midnight in a neighbouring town, we have been surprised to find ourselves part of a great community for which we are grateful. Emma has gained an appetite for fruit(no, she isn’t cured of her famous pickiness but at least she has added chicken souvlaki, watermelon and melon to her list of favourites). Everybody’s love.

The Photo Gallery:Food

Published by

Two weeks have passed since I last posted. We have done a lot since: packed a house and put it in storage in Ireland, started from scratch(quite literally) with another one in Greece. Cleaned(well, as much as one can clean with a toddler “helping out”), furnished and settled into another one in Greece. Went from 17 degrees to close to 40 in a matter of days. Sweated buckets(even in my sleep), shouted LOADS (my coping mechanism to heat), took numerous baths both indoors and in the sea…And enjoyed fresh food from the market for ridiculous prices(my average spend on all I can carry fruit and veg never exceeded 15 Euro). So to celebrate this week’s theme at the gallery I will add something related to Greek food, obviously. Have a great evening, everyone, talk soon!(now that we have Internet in the house!!)
