Christmas in Crete

We had a fabulous Christmas in Crete this year. The first one here in about 4 years.

The weather was mild and we celebrated Chrismas day in the traditional way. Presents...gin & tonics....The Queen and a massive roast Turkey meal.

We had a friend, Brian the jewelry seller and our German neighbour Wolfgang to share our meal

On boxing day skies were clear blue and temperatures high so we headed off for a walk along the coast. Here is a photo of the boys on the walk.

So now we have to get back to work...and back to finding some work asw well.

Sausages-sausages


Hey everyone!

I am so excited! I just finished and uploaded a new step-by-step guide book.

As an expat, I always missed good sausages especially Lincolnshire sausages so I make them myself.

Then I though perhaps others may want to do this too, after all, you can then control what goes in them and you can make your own recipes up as well.

So my guide is an easy straightforward tutorial on making your own sausages at home.

Typical...

It just turned chilly and rainy this weekend, when we were planning on going for a walk.

It looks like the weather put bob tait off too as his latest article on Bob's Blog is a puzzle competition. Just the sort of thing for rainy days spent indoors.

The Paleochora Puzzle actually carries a prize of a signed walking book from Bob & Lynne. The rumour that runners up get 2 books is completely untrue. lol

The Blog Goes On!

So I will continue the Calypso Blog. Infact continue is really pushing it a bit...as I have let it slip a bit of late.

I will write and add some articles, thoughts, ramblings and experiences all about our life here in Crete.

So stay tuned.
