Granddaughters Rule

 So what's Poppi up to these days? 


She's in the middle of end of year exams
Studying hard
At a cafeteria

Good coffee stimulates the little grey cells

She's studying for the written exams. She also has to prove she can shoot a bow and arrow, leap over a high jump bar, play a game of soccer and heaven knows what else the esteemed Athens Gymnastics Academy demands. 
Poppi is also still rowing, competing with the National Women's Rowing team.

She will be back on the island at the end of the month to spend her summer as a Lifeguard at a local pool


Her sister Nels is spending the summer working at a big Resort on the island of Corfu/Kerkyra in Greek
She is near Kalami where English author Lawrence Durrell lived and wrote in the 1930s with his wife Nancy.  He lived in the 'White House'  where you can now book your own holiday. 
Lawrence and his brother Gerald described the place as Paradise


Paradise in the 1930s
Still paradise almost 100 years later



Granddaughter Luli finished her University exams and is finally relaxing and holidaying with a group of friends on the islands of Ios and Paros
She will be back next week to spend the summer working on Poros
