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.

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. Hose down the shutters, balconies, windows then move the furniture out then start to work on the inside – cleaning, mopping, scrubbing….

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…
