About Me
- local alien
- 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.

Nice in theory but will it ever happen?
ReplyDeleteFrauentag. Power to the lasses!
ReplyDeleteHappy international women’s day to all
ReplyDeleteIsn't it also St Meghan's day today????
ReplyDeleteAwareness that there is even such a day seems to be gathering force. I wonder how far the pandemic has set women back. Lots of things i read suggest that will be one of its side effects - disproportionate economic disadvantage to women.
