Rudi

     


Meet Rudi
 A gentle soul with a long term medical issue.

A couple of times a year Cecile (from Belgium) opens the Greek Sail's offices and helps to spread out an array of preloved treasures, books, clothes, doggy bits and pieces and lots of 'white elephants'.  The bazaar is to raise money for Rudi's medecine


These girls, Jan and Cecile (England and Belgium) put it all together and happily search out bargains for all of us
It's a fun couple of days, for me, long hours for them, especially as they're both working.  Greek Sails has started it's summer charters and Jan is working with a team of Danish vets who are sterilising a hundred or more cats and dogs from all around the area

You can see how much Rudi loves his Mum

Now in my garden keeping company with gnomes and frogs, Jemima Puddleduck and Don Quixote riding on Rocinante

I found some clothes and kitchen ware and a toolkit for K (thanks Jan) and  bargains for my girls.......lovely


We had visitors and local aliens from Sweden, one Danish couple on a yacht but recently residing in Tauranga (near my home town of Te Puke, New Zealand), Belgium
England, France, Holland, Australia, and even some from Greece

  4. That's awesome that all the stray animals are being neutered, I can't bear the thought of the cats and dogs still breeding and breeding and breeding. Rudi looks like he gets lots of pats, I would give him lots of cuddles, have a nice week.
