Exciting times...

Joseph, Libby & Adam having a picnic with Grandma.
 This week has been a wonderful time to be a Brit.  The fantastic effort put in by all the people involved in the Olympic Games in London has really paid off, it just goes to show that the Lottery isn't totally a waste of money.  And some of us armchair athletes may even become inspired by 50 odd medallists.  We have certainly been watching a good deal of it on the TV and are a little sad that our plans to go down there for a month had to be scuttled but I suppose you have to prioritise.
Jo & Adam get in practice for the next Olympics.


Last Friday we took Three of our Grandchildren to Dalby Forest for a day out.  Sandra had insisted before we set off that all DS's, Mobiles and any other electronic gadgets where left at home.  I'm sure they never thought of them once in the entire day which started at nine o'clock in the morning and finished at seven in the evening.  Proving they could actually live for ten hours without electronic intervention must have opened all sorts of new possibilities for them.
We had a great day and managed to even top it off with a McDonald's in York en-route home.

Spot the kids - Dalby Forest adventure playground.
We have started to get things in place ready for coming home to Lefkas, most of the bits and pieces we wanted to get for the boat have been got, although with the current exchange rate the Greek prices are now becoming more competitive.  Just got the cooker to buy now and one or two small bits but with downsizing the car this is probably a good thing. Anyway one month today (9th September) we shall be on our way back home, arriving back in Lefkas on the 12th September.
