Catching up!

Oh dear, nearly six months since I last posted a blog. It is not that I
have been bothered to write to you. Oh no. It is because words have been
absent ...
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.

ReplyDeleteIt is the perfect combo. Kali oraxie
ReplyDeleteThat's what he says !
DeleteI was watching a Rick Stein programme where they boiled Octopus for just 3 minutes. He said it was very tender. I always thought it took hours!
ReplyDeleteNo way it would be tender after 3 minutes!!
DeleteIt was on his programme about Palermo. One of the Weekend Breaks series.
DeleteI will look for it on youtube. Maybe it was boiled first for an hour or so and just presented as 3 minutes. It would have been very chewy I'm sure
DeleteI haven't had ouzo in years, it was nice.
ReplyDeleteBetter if you drink it on a Greek island!!
DeleteSeems perfect to me.
ReplyDeleteHe sure thinks it's perfect
DeleteLooks like a happy man there
