Moving On Again

Old Town Street

As we posted the last blog, disaster struck!!  I lost my camera – a whole wasteland of non-photo travelling stretched before me, could I carry on, would there be any meaning to it, is there life on earth?  If there was, I couldn’t photograph it!  Disaster is too light a word for it, just as I was contemplating ending it all (coming back to the UK that is, not committing suicide) three angels came to my rescue, the first and best was Megan who had witnessed my dilemma and said we could get another camera, the second was ebay (what a great idea) and the third was our number three son Andy who co-ordinated the UK end of the operation.

Relaxing with our hosts and fellow helpers

Faster than the speed of light a replacement was purchased, a good camera for a very reasonable price, it was delivered to Mount Ave, checked by the maestro and dispatched to Crete – life could return to normal.

So our life on Crete has come to an end, we have left the nature park behind and are having a holiday with Mark (my brother from Oz) his other half Raewyn plus her father John.  The nature park was a good experience, following a daily routine with the animals and helping Susanne and Michali prepare for the summer when some of the local children, on holiday, come to attend a summer school/playscheme.  Susanne and Michali are great; he has a good sense of humour and is teasing Susanne all the time.

Ferry Destination

Ferry arriving with Mark & Raewyn onboard

Mark,  Raewyn and John arrived on 14 June and we are visiting some of the Greek Isles.  First they stayed with us in the Old Town and now we are ‘Moving On’.

We are visiting Santorini, in fact we are on the ferry as I write this, Mykonos and then back to Athens, we are due at our next Helpx place on 16 July in northern Greece at the seed bank, so we have time to see some of the old sites.
