Xmas Eve on the Island

 It's still Christmas Eve here in Greece as I write this but Christmas Day has already dawned for my family in New Zealand and Australia.  They are having scorching hot weather and I could almost say the same for us.  These last few days have been wonderfully sunny and warm for the end of December. 

Down at Neorio some of the family went swimming.  

Crazy girls

 

Gingerbread men made by M who works with my daughter

They are simply awesome and she made them for the first time

Yes, that's Santa in a bathing suit

We went downtown to send a Christmas lunch across to a friend of mine who always spends Christmas Day with us.  She can't come over here so we sent lunch, and dinner tonight, over the waters to her on one of these little taxi boats

K did a mighty job with the piece of pork we sent across

It smelled so fantastic sitting in the back of the car it's a wonder I 

didn't just dive in and break off a chunk there and then.

There are potatoes somewhere in there too

Down the end of town.  The only people about were lining up outside the sticky-cake shop

Now we are preparing for a Xmas Eve drinks and nibbles with some of the family.

So far we are all healthy and having a merry time.  I hope the same applies to you wherever you are in the world.

Thank you Judy and Steve in England. Yes, we received your card in time to hang it up for Xmas. Hope you are having a Xmas day with your wonderful family. Loads of love. One day we shall meet again.

And a Huge shout out to Angela. I received another Xmas card today , from Australia. Amazing. My 4th card is from downunder. Efharisto para Poli.

Keep safe.  Have fun.
