A trip to the market in Athens

Of course I had to visit the big market in Athens, full of fish, meat & nuts!





 As it was getting close to Easter, and roasted lamb is THE food served at Easter,
 the lambs were all over the place...


 And there was much more to see...



 Salted cod

Dried fruits &

delicious nuts...
Of course we left with a bag full!!

And now it's back to reality again...
We came home last Friday from our combined Athens & the Netherlands trip.
The same day friends arrived to stay for a few days, family is arriving the upcoming weekend,
so that means cleaning, laundry & organizing the coming days..
And hopefully there'll be some time left to enjoy the sun!

Have a wonderful week!
Bisous,

Chantal

Flower Power

Apart from ruins, stones & rocks there's more to see in Athens;
 beautiful flowers in great colours for example

Gorgeous red poppies, a splash of colour on a cloudy day
Oranges... plenty!
Even a simple dandelion can be beautiful
Dandelions & poppies bring sunshine!

Light purple Lavatera all over Acropolis Hill
More poppies, couldn't get enough of them!

The streets are all covered with colourful trees... Spring in Athens is beautiful!

And what a gorgeous weather we have in Europe, it's still spring but temperatures rise
 easily to a summery 25 degrees Celsius. Please let it be like this till December??
Time to enjoy the sun again.
 I wish you all a wonderful Easter, enjoy the weather & the (chocolate) eggs!

Bisous,

Chantal
