We had a night out with some of the family and all the grandkids. We took them down to the Navy beach taverna/canteen where we can all eat and drink at subsidised prices.
It was a most enjoyable evening. Naturally enough. All the 'kids' get on well and there's a lot of laughter. They're all on the island for the summer but it's difficult getting them together. Most have summer jobs. Luli is doing summer lessons to get ready for next years University exams.

The aftermath
We managed to chow through 40 kalamakia, chicken and pork on a skewer, a dozen kebabs (spicy mincemeat on a skewer) a couple of salads and lots of tzatziki and fried potatoes. Jamie is the tzatziki king, he always manages to finish one bowl of it on his own
The family
Dear Daughter Elli and me (or 'I')
Jamie, the Tzatziki King, with his Mum
In a squirmy moment......but he loves his Mum. Of course
Best friends
Cousins George and Luli
The oldest and the youngest
Kostas and one of my lovely sons-in-law Kyriakos
Poppi and sister Nels
They always have to pull a face
Even though I yell at them and tell them to 'Close your mouth for goodness sake!!!! The wind will change and you'll stay like that forever'.
So we were once told by our parents
Looks like such a wonderful evening. Family times like that are so wonderful
ReplyDeleteAnd no one has to cook or wash the dishes afterwards😀❤️
The best part!!!
DeleteA lovely family gathering. It's so nice when everyone gets on well together.
ReplyDeleteThe grandkids are very close. Theyve grown up together, more like brothers and sisters
DeleteAbsolutely Fabulous. Family times are the best of times.
ReplyDeleteThey're all so close on the island right now but all so busy. Lovely to have them altogether
DeleteGreat that they could have such a good time together without any fighting.
ReplyDeleteYes! I mentioned above that they're all like brothers and sister, not cousins, but siblings fight. These just niggle each other and enjoy joking around
DeleteBeautiful photos. What a lovely evening you had.
ReplyDeleteMemories to cherish
They've been very close to us growing up. The best
DeleteAll that and no washing-up to do. We're expecting one grandson in about a week, and maybe others a bit later. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteWe just have to clear up..... Roll all the paper plates and rubbish up in the paper tablecloths. Throw that away and leave dirty glasses and cutlery for the sailors to wash!
DeleteEnjoy your grandson! Aren't they wonderful 😊
Better than Christmas (someone else catering and no expectations or traditions to uphold).
ReplyDeleteSmashing photos. Wish we all had something to celebrate in summer.
