Well, with just a few hours to go until a new year I’ve been thinking about what my word for 2010 should be. This in turn led me to “review” my year of 2009… I’ve done this on the blog for the past couple of years (here’s 2008?s) but this year I’m struggling and getting [...]

When I was in Dannyland we went for an afternoon walk one afternoon and I took these butterfly pics… Which I’ve only just got round to editing (x months later!) (Update!Now available at Zazzle and Etsy!) Danny waited patiently and didn’t complain once or tell me to hurry up as 50 pics of butterflies was [...]

I’ve made myself an “elbow cushion” to stop my poor elbows from getting sore from leaning on the table where I work away on the laptop all day. I’ve not really done much sewing before… I can sew a button on and occasionaly alter tshirt straps if they are too long for me. But a [...]

I’ve been home a week tomorrow but am only just getting back into my work routine… I had to do emergency cleaning once I got back… Which lasted for a few days! Today is my first day “back at work” but it’s hard because outside the sun is shining and it’s warm (I’m in shorts [...]

On Friday we are doing a super quick trip to Cambridgeshire to see my friends/family before I go back to Crete on Tuesday. Return flights will be booked this week (hopefully tonight!) but I keep changing my mind about when to fly back / when to have Danny come over… It was going to be [...]

You’ll recognise this face from previous posts… Unfortunaterly I have some bad news about Scotty. He escaped at the vets when my Dad took him for a check up. You’ll probably be asking HOW????? like everyone else has. Basically vets in Greece aren’t like in the UK (and I presume the U.S) – [...]

It was my 25th birthday on Saturday… I feel old now. As if I’m now supposed to be a responsible adult who does “adulty” things… Not quite sure what those things are but it just feels like I can no longer claim I’m young. As in 18-24 youngness. I’m probably not making much sense am [...]

It was rather a busy one… On Saturday me and Danny met up with my friend Neil to go to Pizza Hut and then bowling. That evening we had to load the car up for the boot sale on Sunday… We were up at 6am Sunday (well, I managed an extra 15 mins as I [...]

I went camping with Danny at the weekend… I’d never really been camping in a tent / field before so I wasn’t sure what to expect or if I would like it but it was good. It was rather a last minute thing… Friday night we’re both online looking for campsites. All the big “proper” [...]

Tada… Do you like it? I’ve been wanting to do a series of posters in this style for over a year but kinda just never got around to it… until now! The beach one is the first in the planned series… there will be many more to follow including crete landscapes, flowers and color themes [...]
