My daughter has just started nursery so I suddenly find myself with a few hours of freedom! It's almost a bit overwhelming to know where to start on my extra long 'to do' list. The house could do with a spring clean from top to bottom. The wisteria in our garden is invading at least three neighbour's properties and needs to be dealt with. I've got a huge pile of stuff to either sell on eBay or drop into Oxfam. The list goes on... I do want to spend more time on the business side of Bamboo and Blue and I also want to spend more time on the blog. MP has been much more efficient than me at getting her trip reports up from her recent holidays. I am still well aware that I have a couple of posts drafted but not finalised from my trip back to New Zealand in February. Keep an eye out for those posts within the next couple of weeks.
I have to confess that the tasks on my 'to do' list such as defrosting the freezer and cleaning the oven were demoted in favour of sorting out holidays for this year. I have got a girl's weekend coming up at the end of the month in Sitges, Spain and then a trip to visit MP in Switzerland later on in August. I am also really excited about a two week holiday that we have just booked to Greece in late September.
Santorini has been near the top of my list of places to visit for years and we are combining this with a few days in Athens and the island of Mykonos as well. It is a bit of a gamble going so late in the season, but the prices were pretty good and if it is a bit cold for sunbathing and swimming then I will just go for walks, take 1000s of photographs and read lots of books.
I can't wait to see all of the white and blue buildings covered in pink bougainvillea in person. Have you been to Athens, Santorini or Mykonos? I would love to hear of any travel tips.
