My Sunday Photo – Camera Shy Mum
My Sunday photo this week had to be one of my mum. She’s the one who has always hidden behind the camera. Or just to one side out of the way. She has never enjoyed having her picture taken. I have many friends who are the same, there are always lots of pictures...Quote for the Week – Inspired by Friendship
My inspiration this week comes from friendship. In today’s society we are all moving around to find jobs and improve our lives or homes. Some like us become expats, others move within their own country. It’s easy to lose touch, we move on, become different...My Sunday Photo – A Dragonfly (day 37)
It’s been another week for mother nature in the garden: We’ve had a very humid August. Yesterday there were thunderstorms north of us. Most of the region has been getting storms for weeks now.

Inspiration for this week’s quote comes from time. It’s the one commodity in our lives that we often waste without thought. We’ve been lucky to be able to live here for the last 2 years and that time has certainly gone past quickly. That’s time...My Sunday Photo – A Hungry Caterpillar (day 35)
My Sunday photo this week is from the garden: At the moment my favourite time of day is just before the sun sets. After the heat it’s finally cool enough to potter in the garden.

This week’s picture I took early this morning in our garden. The tree is a relative of the acer family called Albizia Julibrissin or ‘Tropical Dream’: We planted the tree last spring and this week it flowered for the first time. It will flower now...Quote for the Week – Inspired by a Summer Heatwave (day 32)
The month of July is coming to an end and August as always will arrive with warnings of a heatwave on the island. Yes the temperatures will go over 40C for the first couple of weeks of the month as they always do. This little spot will get hot. So for this week...My Sunday Photo – Our Rescue Dog (day 31)
This Sunday I’ve decided to go with the newest addition to the family. Apollo the dog we found malnourished and in a terrible state wandering on a beach just before new year. He’s had lots of good food and exercise, plus of several courses of antibiotics....Quote for the Week – Inspiration for Travellers (day 30)
After doing three days of quotes last week I’ve decided to have a go at doing a regular quote post. This week I’m taking inspiration from Pythagoras. I’ve been lucky to travel lots with my best friend and husband. Last week took us to the Greek...My Sunday Photo – Lunch with a Wonderful View (day 29)
This week has been a very different one. We took a trip away for 2 nights to the island of Samos. There will be a selection of posts this week about the trip. Starting with my Sunday photo: We took a drive around the island on Thursday and came across the village of...
