Rain


Rain rain don't go away

Please come again another day

Maybe tomorrow they say. 


The rain came, stalking us, waiting till we were sitting beside the sea with all our grandchildren. Then the heavens opened! 

But the grandchildren outwitted the rain, moved us lock, stock and barrel, tables laden with souvlaki and pizza, glasses full of wine and beer.  We carried on, entertained by the thunder and lightening and rivers running off the tiles.  

Nels ran to grab the bike helmets. I rushed to close car windows. Thank goodness I had the foresight to close the shutters up at the house. 

 Grand children don't mind drops dripping down their backs. A bit of rain didn't stop them from fetching beers, keeping Papou's jug of wine topped up or choosing ice cream for everyone to finish the night. 


Others were enjoying the rain on their balcony. A glass of wine and a summer downpour.  A pleasurable end to a hot sweaty day



It poured down for about an hour. A good steady drenching for the olive trees


Nels and me.....looking a bit washed out 😁



They just can't resist poking out tongues

Good looking kids... 
After being told off


We've picked up a few more grandkids

Adoptees Vassili and Dimitri. 
They've been instructed to call me Nana...... and not GrandMum.

  3. Can't do better than JayCee's poetry. I can just iagine steam riding off tarmac and the water on the roads being warm to walk in.
