I write. I create. I observe and record my life, after 40 years, in Greece. I love to create either with my handy craft, cooking or writing. Freeform always. Keep it simple, keep the interest, make it useful. I write about my garden sometimes, my grandchildren and the different culture and traditions. My New Zealand up bringing was so different from this way of life that I do truly feel like an alien at times. Greece is home but so is my kiwi 'homeland'. I am a citizen of both and an alien in both.
They are having a lot of fun with that scooter.
ReplyDeleteHours of enjoyment
DeleteDog power or four paw drive?
ReplyDeleteLove it . 4 paw drive!
DeleteLove it!!!
ReplyDeleteMolly seemed fine with this new fangled walking too!
DeleteSeems like you are doing "coping," in the face of possible disaster on your border.
ReplyDeleteLike us here, trying to live naturally, like the COVID-19 is not popping up, all over.
Courage to us all...
I'm finding the positive. The family is safe, the kids are happy, the dogs are walked, coffee and people watching is still a favourite pastime
DeleteBoth having fun, my Yorkies wouldn't be able to keep up :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,

They would need to be on the scooter with someone running alongside....not you!!
DeleteTHat looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun.
ReplyDeleteThe girls love scootering and it's great now the roads are empty. In summer that beach road is very busy. Not a place for a scooter
DeleteThey need a bigger scooter, then the dog could have joined them. Poor thing; made to walk.
