Happiness in the UK, Spain and of course, Crete!

Posted on October 3, 2013 by micmaryjo

I am home again after my two week break in the UK and Spain. Although I had a packed schedule whilst in the UK, I felt well rested and pleased with all that I achieved.
I spent my first day in the UK shopping for all the bits and pieces I can’t get in Crete, then the evening relaxing with my sister Karen and her husband Mike, whom I always stay with when in the UK.

On Friday night I went out with my friend Angela, for a few glasses of quality wine (the only thing I really miss in Crete – apart from my daughters, family and friends of course!) at The John Millington in Cheadle Hulme. Continue reading →

Excited about my Holiday in Spain!

This blog should have been entered days ago but, as always happens with me – I get side-tracked!
My good friend Lisa has returned to Crete – this time to stay. I am so pleased to have her back and we have already enjoyed one of our ‘girly’ nights out. She has also been keeping me company whilst I’ve been selling on the beach, chatting the whole time to bring me up-to-date on all her news. Continue reading →

Parting with loved ones always makes me cry.

It has been a few weeks since my last post and this is because I have been having a wonderful time with my two gorgeous daughters, Zoe and Emma and Emma’s boyfriend, Ash.

Too busy to write!

While I write this I am sitting here watching the beautiful sunset again. I am taking a welcome breather but I still have heaps to do.
I am literally rushed off my feet with work and cannot produce my seashell mosaics and collages fast enough! Continue reading →

Welcome Back to Crete!

Posted on August 1, 2013 by micmaryjo

Well it’s the end of July and it’s been another record month for sales. The tourists have been flooding back to Crete after the previous year’s depleted numbers. Last year the British and European media had been negative towards Greece almost all of 2012. Continue reading →

Desperately Seeking ‘Me’ Time!

Posted on July 28, 2013 by micmaryjo

I can’t help it! I am here again on my balcony sofa, having just caught the sunset directly opposite me! It is Sunday night again and I am desperately in need of some ‘me’ time. I can’t believe how this past week has flown by! Continue reading →

What a Great Life!

Posted on July 21, 2013 by micmaryjo

I have just finished my busy weekend and am now chilling on my comfy sofa (which is also a spare bed!) on the balcony. I am tired but I am happy! It is pleasantly warm and there’s a cool breeze blowing and so I am very comfortable. Continue reading →

Problems with the Wind and Seawater Flooding at Almyrida Beach Resort

Posted on July 17, 2013 by micmaryjo

It’s been hard work selling at the beach in Almyrida today. The strong Cretan winds returned with a vengeance, causing me, as usual, all manner of problems! However, I am not one for giving up easily and so I simply rose to the challenge. Continue reading →

Enjoying Time with Friends

Posted on July 10, 2013 by micmaryjo

During summertime I don’t see as much of my friends as I’d like to. This is because we are all busy working the season to earn a living for the winter months too. Because we live in a ‘holiday’ environment, everybody’s work relates in some way or another to the tourist season. Continue reading →
