Farewell's

As you may have noticed, our time has run out! Maureen and Jonathan did us proud with a mega send off on Tuesday. Here are a few photos from the party including some of 'our band'. Thanks to Ian we sounded pretty good! Good food, good friends, good times - but no Good Bye - we will be back!

Fioni Walk

Dale and I joined Linda and Maggs and Linda's walking group for a walk up into the hills in Fioni today. The weather was fabulous and the scenery, unparalleled. This has been such a late spring that not only is everything still green, but one can find flowers that would normally be dried up and gone by now. Plus, it was wonderful not to think about packing for a bit, while hiking and earning the right to sit down to a very yummy lunch.




We lunched in Kato Platres where they put on a very tasty meze for us. I may have mentioned before that a meze is a wide variety of local dishes that they bring out, one after the other for us all to share. I have never been to one where they have ever run out of food, and you are bursting by the time the last few dishes come out (but you still want to try them all!).
Meanwhile, counting down the days!
Love,
Laurel

Farewell's

Thursday after bridge, Mike and Roz organized a lovely farewell for us at our local coffee shop. We do keep mentioning that we are returning in the fall (as visitors), but we are being toasted nonetheless.



Then on Friday we met up with Peter and Linda, Ken and Lesley, and Doug and Barb at the City Cafe where they treated us to a lovely lunch. We are truly blessed with such good friends.


It is so wonderful being able to say Au Revoir and not Good Bye!
