Stag Moon Rising

 A full moon party

The grandsons did a change of lock on our car. It's handy having mechanics in the family. The electronic locking system has been faulty for months.  The doors were fixed and we hoped that included the boot. It didn't.  Last week we filled the boot with 6 packs of water, got home and the damn thing would not open. We were in the middle of a heatwave and couldn't leave them there. Down came the back seats and we dragged them out.

K immediately ordered a new lock.  He wasn't going to trust the garage where the other work was done. 

Grandsons climbed in over the back seats and opened the boot, unscrewed, replaced, and sat down for a beer. Problem solved.

Thanks kiddos. 

More grandchildren arrived and Papous began bbqing.  More beers, lots of tzatziki, and Pitta bread. 

Daughter Elli and husband turned up with a bottle of Marlborough Sauv Blanc. 

She's an accountant , a good one. She has most of the island's english expats as clients and they know what to bring her when she sorts out their tax problems.

Elli and I are very happy and toast them as we drink.  This bottle was full of bold fruitiness.

We ate on our terrace, and watched the moon rise above the olive groves around Poseidon's temple

I finally remembered to give Jamie the marshmallow easter eggs our kiwi family had brought for him.  Reluctantly he let Elli and I have 1 or 2.  OMG.  The taste of Easter's passed 

They're a NZ speciality and tasted exactly as I remembered them from my childhood.

That's a street light behind him, not the moon

Sunset the following night

2 nights later it was still a full moon and it appeared  a brilliant orange, making a moonlight pathway  over the sea

Thanks everyone for taking and sending me photos. I've trained them well.  Take photos of everything and send them to Nana for her blog.
