Greece Days 1&2 in pictures

A little insight into the first few days!  Waiting for the ferry over to Evia to browse the market and enjoy a local taverna, no moussaka though...or stuffed tomatoes but the Pasticcio, a sort of baked pasta with bechamel sauce and mince was not a disappointing alternative just rather a huge helping!

No time wasting, the ramp is lowered before it docks!

The Olives at the market on Evia

Would love to grow one of these in my garden.

Not sure about one of these though, we tried one, too much effort for not enough eating delight!

Black olives against the blue sky...in the back garden.

Introducing Lisa,

and Connie ? basset/bloodhound cross,  rescued from certain death by  the roadside, starving. a bag of bones about 5 months ago.

and finally Elsa, leader of the pack.

D, man of the soil, getting stuck in!

and into the raised bed in preparation for the spring bulbs.

Over to me for the planting bit...

Tulips and crocuses beneath the olive tree.

Consultation on matters botanical....

and I knit and watch and listen.... and smell the fragrance of thyme and oregano on the breeze.
