Little what-nots....................
My salt container. Pink salt. Himalyan probably. It's unrefined and sold very cheaply in the supermarket. I love the taste. When we go to the Navy taverna they only provide salt if you ask and they put a little in a plastic glass.
You can't eat fried potatoes or souvlaki without salt so I carry this now in my handbag. Always handy to have salt in your bag.
Three red hot peppers given to me by a neighbour.
I already have these in the garden. They come up by themselves every summer. I told him I didn't want any more but he appeared with these 3. So we have red hot chilli peppers growing all over the garden, in pots, and planted amongst the tomatoes and pumpkins
A scarab beetle came along and landed on K during a church service.
A sign?
But of what.
They are symbols of rebirth, transformation and growth,
prosperity and good fortune.
They give protection to the living, guide the dead to afterlife.
He's pretty well covered then, in this life or the next
View of the bay below us. You can see the hills around Athens on the far horizon.

Oh, the colour of that beetle! K has been truly blessed.
ReplyDeleteRed hot peppers in abundance too. What more could you wish for!
A euro joker win??
DeleteSurprise, surprise, I like to carry salt with me when travelling….. because nothing worse than being served a lovely meal and it doesn’t have enough salt! From ‘she who has her own rooster salt shaker! (In Poros)’
ReplyDeleteYour little rooster is in hibernation. Salt makes everything tastier.... But don't tell Jamie 😊
DeleteThat scarab beetle is bee-you-ti-ful!
ReplyDeleteBeeutifil colours. It landed on K and sat there happy for me to take a photo
DeleteThat beetle is a wonderful colour.
ReplyDeleteSuch a brilliant green. We see them all over the place just now
DeleteI love your salt container. I always have salt in my purse as well. The beetle is a beautiful colour but I don't think I'd be too thrilled having it on me!!
ReplyDeleteThe container lid closes really well and it looks much better than the marmite jar I used to have
DeleteI had a friend who would never go anywhere without his small antique Pepper Grinder. He simply didn't trust the quality of anyone else's Pepper.
ReplyDeleteI can understand. I do like this pink salt. You can see the imperfections in it. It's not refined and tastes very different from the normal table salt
DeleteBeautiful neetle. My word that sea is blue - it never seemed that good looking at it from the other side!😀
ReplyDeleteLooking at it from a height it's a very deep blue.
DeleteYour salt container is so pretty. It's such a good idea to carry your own preferred salt.
ReplyDeleteThe beetle is stunning. I wonder what it was that attracted it to K?
Possibly he was the only one who wasn't squirming. Small children all around were bouncing
DeleteI think any wildlife that chooses to land on you are just saying hello. It’s an honour.
ReplyDeleteI’m sure Greeks would say, you never have enough hot peppers. Unfortunately I can no longer eat them. So I don’t grow. Them
Years ago I read, in one of my woo hoo hippy books, as hubby called them. That you must never run out of salt as it brings prosperity into your home. So I’ve got a little takeaway packet of salt just stashed on the very top shelf of the pantry. I also told my kids to do the same.
You just never know!
