Heaven is an Empty Beach

 
Heaven is an Empty Beach
Look what I came across on my phone today.... it's a panoramic photo of Chryssi Milia beach, on Alonissos, taken last May.  There were just the two of us. This whole, beautiful beach was ours.  Lucky? Indeed we were....

Getting Ready for the New Season

Bedroom shutters waiting for new paint

The view from the sitting room window
 
We're getting ready for the new season,
and from now until April, there are lots of
ongoing jobs that need our attention......
The tree outside the sitting room windows is always given a very severe
pruning by the local council, which is great by us as our view looks over the top of the tree, down across the valley, over the sea and on to Skopolos, the island where Mamma Mia was filmed.
The outside of the house gets a complete whitewash every Spring, and lots of new blue paint-work completes the traditional Greek house picture.
