Unfortunately Daddy had to return to the UK on business for 2 days out of our week’s holiday. As a surprise he brought the remote control helicopter back with him – much to the boys’ delight!King Julien and Spike both took it for a test flight and I am pleased to report no casualties. Currently…
Tuesday means Market Day Homemade Lemonade
Tuesday means market day homemade lemonade and, when spending our summer holidays in Greece, we always look forward to Tuesdays (or rather I do). Tuesdays is market day. Which means homemade lemonade. The thought of buying super fresh fruit and vegetables straight from a market stall that are oozing with flavour, fills me with such…
Greek Lunch on a Shoestring
With the Euro incredibly strong this year, we’re having to be clever with everything we spend our money on, particularly with our lunches.Bread is a staple as always here and feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, salami, chilled water always taste delicious here. Freshly chopped fruit in plastic containers easily eaten as already it is becoming…
The crazy week in May
Time has flown by but I still wanted to blog about the crazy week in May. This month has been a busy month for travelling, both for business and pleasure. Normally it is the husband that travels.

There’s something about cleaning – it’s intensely therapeutic
It’s half term break, so the family headed south to Athens to the appartment. Part of the ritual of coming down is reclaiming what is yours. First things first – clean the appartment.

Helicopter came home! Back at base!
Days later, on Saturday afternoon, Daddy and the brood decided to check out the tree one last time and see if by some chance the helicopter had dislodged itself and was now visible from ground level. Leaving the others to it, (thinking their chances really slim), King Julien and I went off to get some…
Helicopter missing in action
Has anyone seen this helicopter? This was the surprise present that Daddy bought that day for the brood. As well as fly their glider planes, they also had a go on this remote control helicopter. Huge huge fun and this was left charging whilst at school, so the brood could take it on another flight…
The secret to getting kids up in the morning…
It is always a challenge to get the brood up in the morning, particularly on the days when I need to be in the office by 0830. It means they have to be dropped off at 0800, ie up at 0630! Washed, dressed, breakfasted, lunchboxed and out the door at 0750 ideally… There are two…
Time flies… Ocarina Update
I can’t believe how this year is flying by. We are now in May already. Some people say time flies by the older you get. I don’t feel so old and when I was asked at bedtime tonight my age, I replied “I am 21 again.” King Julien retorted, “Wow! Mummy, you’re really young! Daddy…
