The Record is 36

They say you make piles of stones like this if you want to come back.... well it's possibly true as you see these on several beaches in Alonissos throughout the season.  Some are quite fancy and engineered with small balancing stones, but mostly they're plain like mine.  This is my personal best, it's a 36-er.  If you're going to Petros Cottage this summer and make one with even more stones, send me a photo.  The gauntlet is down!

Blue Sky Day

How blue is that?  Believe it or not, this photo hasn't been enhanced in any way, it's straight off the camera.... ok, so the white of the parasol has made the blue look deeper, but otherwise this is just an unprocessed image. And this is what I'm so looking forward to on our next trip to Petros Cottage, blue sky and sunshine, mmmmmm........
