kalives, crete

Flew back from a wonderful break in Crete on Tuesday evening (already it feels like the distant past). I had forgotten that it is actually possible to have a relaxing holiday. I guess Amelia has finally reached the age where things get a bit easier so that is part of it. But just to be somewhere with no rain, a pool just a leap from the door and beautiful views across the Souda bay. Wow! It was glorious. Mark and the children played in the pool most mornings while I was able to sit in the sun and read, snack lunch, trip in the afternoon (beach, mountains, lake, Chania etc) and then dinner in a taverna each evening. I've put on nearly half a stone.
