A frantic May at work for two weeks culminated in a quick trip to Greece to see whether Mrs N's castle in Arcadia still stood - we heard that there had been a heavy winter of snow and the the roof has seen better days....
A Sunday interlude in Athens to meet visiting friends.
I forgot to mention the village cat contingent.....sorry.

ReplyDeleteNow, in which condition did you find your greek property on arrival.
Standing!
DeleteStanding... is that Greek for "it has seen better days"?
Delete"tortoise spotted at speed." That begs the question which one of you were at speed?
ReplyDeleteGreat group of pictures,but I did miss the pussy cats. Good thing you have a cute Mrs. N in some of the pics instead.
Cats to follow....
DeleteAwesome photos Nikos. If Sonja's lost then I must be abandoned! But then that's what I'm used to.
