So it's my turn.....

I believe that Andy has a knack at the story telling which I don't have so I intend my posts to be more picture based.  This may also reassure Wendy who is slightly worried about my typing skills and whether or not anyone will be able to read anything I type without correcting all the spelling mistakes first. Well I ll have you know Miss Wendy that I got a distinction in my RSA Typing many many many many moons ago, its just texting I have problems with lol

So on to the pics, we were less than a week in and Mr Reed brings home a dog, just temporary he says we are fostering him just for the weekend, but just look at this little man, how could I not fall in love immediately and never want to give him up, so as you all know we didn't just foster him, we adopted him!!!! This is his 'after' pic, when I first set eyes on him he was a scraggy, skinny, very very dusty mutt covered in fleas and ticks, poor little soul needed us to take care of him :-)

So on to the cat situation............................... so there I am having my morning coffee (only 2 days after we arrived) and Puss appears,

As the days pass it appears that Puss has some kittens in tow, Dad has also shown an appearance, he is a big long haired grey cat, and a bit of a bruiser!

So on to our new home, it is a traditional concrete built villa and now our 'stuff' has arrived is beginning to look and feel more like home rather than a holiday villa, a few pictures on the walls and photos of the sproglets makes all the difference.

The all essential big telly has arrived, which makes watching football and rugby all the more enjoyable for Andy especially when Newcastle hammer those goals in :-)

Rather a large pile of empty boxes and packaging making a fantastic wall to keep Dusty in the back garden!

This is where Dusty and I hang out when we aren't wandering all over the village practicing our Greek greetings with the locals.

Finally we have a small selection of herbs, I managed about two weeks before needing to get my hands dirty, so pootled off to buy compost and basil, marjoram, chives and thyme and found some largish pots to transplant them in.  Think Andy then had a yearning to  potter on and off he pootled to lift some aloe vera plants which I had found growing like weeds out of the pavement round the corner from our villa. 

We also have four mature citrus trees, 2 lemon, 1 lime and an orange. This is the lemon tree which I m, reliably informed is the only tree to flower and fruit at the same time, you can just make out the flower on the left, its a delicate little thing but the fragrance is fantastic.

Now off to finish the unpacking, Sam and Matt arrive on Saturday so I need to find the spare beds which are buried somewhere underneath mountains of Andy's clothes and diving stuff.
