I meant to blog after I got home, before Christmas came along, but I’ve been a little bit busy with some fur babies! I mentioned we were going to get a ginger kitten once I got home to Crete for the Winter didn’t I… But after a quick discussion and my Dad agreeing we thought [...]
Tomorrow night I fly home to Greece for Christmas and the rest of the Winter… From Dannyland (and Danny himself!) and the cold but quaint Wiltshire cottage…. with views like this from the bottom of the garden… I will be returning to this… with this view from the garden… I’ll be leaving Reggie and Randy [...]
On Sunday some new critters came to live with us… Two 7 week old dumbo rats who we have named Reggie and Randy (Reginald and Randolph being their official names should they ever need a pet passport or be registered at the vets!!) Reggie on the Left. Randy on the Right. They are Danny’s rats [...]
On Wednesday I had a brilliant idea… I’m not sure where it came from… Perhaps when I realized the recession has hit my Zazzle store ($300 light compared with the past 2 years) and that I needed a way to bring more $ in and that I didn’t have many holiday themed cards and how [...]
It’s that time again… time to think about what I want and need to accomplish in the next 3 months… We won’t think too much about how we got to be in the 3rd quarter already… seems only yesterday that I was writing out how the plans for Jan-March went! I won’t go into too [...]
I’m in the process of adding mounted prints to my Etsy shop… I’ve had the mounts since my failed attempts at craft fairs last year but have only just now gotten around to listing them for sale online… Sometimes it takes me a while to get moving with things! So far I’ve listed the Courtyard [...]
Hi! I’m Emily but you may think of me as Emele, I use that name for most of my online activity. Why Emele you may be thinking? Well, it’s a combination of my first and middle name… but I’ll keep you guessing on what my middle name actually is What I do and Where You [...]
That was the question I asked last week… I looked in his usual places – On top of the compost bin, on the fire wood pile… Couldn’t see him… then my eyes focused on this… He had found a new spot to sunbath in… The pool steps to be precise. I’m guessing the metal was [...]
As is customary around this time of year I’ve been thinking about what I’ve been upto during 2010. Unlike 2009 which I thought was rather a waste with nothing much accomplished, I’d say this year has been a lot better. Phew! Highlights of 2010. Danny came to Crete, met my Dad, the cats and saw [...]
These boys were the first stray cats to turn up way back in 2003-2004. In the early days they were known as “Big Ginge” and “Little Ginge” but soon got christened Sidney and Edward, Sid and Ed/Eddie for short! Eddie was a proper tom, he would only really make appearances for food and was quite [...]
