Oh go on then...



As I still haven't managed to motivate myself back in the workshop since returning from hols (and ouch, my sinuses, my sinuses! I can't bend over my workbench without my eyes feeling like they are going to pop out of my head) here's a few snaps...

I was very excited by this Greek Ice Cream van...



We were all a bit scared by this tree though...


Rhodes City...




Obligatory donkey shot...



OK, so that's 2 Greek salads, a portion of chips and lashings and lashings of tzatziki please. And 2 very cold beers...


Nelly's pebble mosaic lolly stick windmill.


And here she is, rocking the Little House on the Prairie look, in the nicest cafe in the world...


Some gates I liked very much. Our house would be so much better with these attached...


I intend to get some work done tonight...really, I do...

  4. oh and p.p.s. it wasn't a remote greek island i referred to in my post today, rather Brownsea Island, but then it was too wet and coldy and foggy so we didn't go.

  8. oh now that was a living vicariously moment again for me - you 'other side of the globe' bloggers keep doing that to me. Looks wonderful and about work - aaah - its not going to go anywhere! ENJOY soaking up the last remnants of holiday feeling...

  9. I'd hoped to get some work done too but instead I'm looking at those grandiose gates and the charming shot of your blue daughter. At least I can blame you, right?

  10. Sorry to hear about your sinuses. That is a real nuisance but hopefully you will feel better soon. It is bad enough having to come back off holiday without returning with some ailment. Great photos - especially that wonderful peacock gate.
