Traditions 2026

2026

Honestly, as I write that date it seems to me as though it's something out of science fiction. I'm actually living in the year 2026. 

New Year Traditions  

New Years loaf with a coin

The first slice is cut for the Madonna

The second for the house and fields, olive trees, grape vines

Then a slice is cut for everyone in the family from the oldest to the youngest

The slice cut for Grandson George had the lucky coin

Grandson Jamie got the coin in the sweet cake I baked

Dear daughters enjoying yet another New Year's cake

George got the coin in this one too

K got the coin in the cake Elli cut on New Year's Eve

So much cake to eat

As usual we give away as much as possible 

Our lucky bulb, boska, hanging on the front gate

K smashed the pomegranate the next morning 

This is his first throw which only split the fruit 

It took a 2nd throw for the seeds to spread out over the flagstones

I left them there till the next morning and swept them into the garden
