...so the half term hols here in england are ending this weekend...
...but being *aussies* just living here for a *bit*...
...we of course break don't go in for rules like this...
...in australia we would never think of taking our kiddos on holiday during the *school holidays*...
...it's just maddness...there's *too many* other people...
...everything costs twice as much...
...& it just doesn't feel like a *really truely relaxing holiday*...
...so true to form as everyone else is finding their school socks...
{and you know i have sock basket & pairing up issues!!}
...& polishing school shoes...
...i'm packing sunscreen & ironing summer frocks...
...not that we're counting or anything...but in *2 sleeps* we'll be sunning...
...swimming...
...& getting seriously well fed on olives & fetta...
...on the * picturesque* island that is Paxos...
...greece at it's most beautiful with wonderful italian charm...
...a mix of both worlds...
...as it sits in the Ionian sea...
...so to *celebrate* my total delirious state of happiness...
...to *celebrate* my love for watching my bambinos barefoot in salt water...
...& to share a little bit of greece island life with you all...
...i am having my very first giveaway...
...how can i not...
...the thought of *non-stop* sunshine after this looong winter has gone to my head...
...i have a gorgeously greek blue & white tablecloth...
...perfect for outdoor...alfresco...summer... lunches...
...& i would like to buy one of you...my *blogging* friends one as well...
...the wonderful old woman i bought the first one from, is worth the visit back to her shop, on a little seaside harbour anyway...
...& whilst i'm there i'd like to buy someone a gift...
...a thankyou for following me...
...a thankyou for coming back to read my thoughts...
...so as i'm packing sandals & hats...
....& dreaming of bakalava & moussaka...
...leave me a thought on summer lunches...for one entry...
&
...become a follower {or let me know if you already are :)} for a 2nd entry...
....oooohhh i'm very excited....
...& my kiddos are going to pick this special person out of a good old vintage basket...
...you know...the old fashioned way!...
