Saturday surprised us…
Aeolus forgot us…
Summer came unexpectedly on 13 April!
Fortunately the allure of the sea is just a step away from home.
Why stay at home and have lunch indoors?
No desire to go very far even with my beautiful new car.
This is a sea restaurant we like to go to because
they serve exquisite quality sea food and
they serve exquisite quality sea food and
fresh bread baked in a traditional stone oven fuelled by wood
and it is located just by the waves…
and it is located just by the waves…
We don’t think twice about ordering these kinds of dishes
although the children sometimes complain.
But it seems absurd to have a steak or a burger

But it seems absurd to have a steak or a burger
while breathing in the sea breeze, smelling its saltiness and
looking at this amazing sea view...
My little girl and her friend welcomed the fast, unforeseen
approach of summer so cheerfully that they didn’t hesitate
to get into the water and have the first swim… unplanned…
It was indeed a perfect, divine day to enjoy by the sea and to share
with friends. If it were really summertime, it would
be impossible
to stay uncovered in the sun at 3pm.The summer heat
is unbearable that’s why we went crazy with this premature
visit of good weather.

I’m very pleased to send you this sea tribute knowing that most
of you will appreciate it. Nordic friends mailing me, tell me that
it is still snowing so I hope that these photos will caress them
warmly in these last cold winter days.
I welcome my new followers.
I must say that I am not always able to leave
comments but I assure you,I am keeping my eyes on you.
Many kisses
from a happy blogfriend!

ReplyDeleteLOVELY!!!!

Oh Olympia! Just took my time for this post, a wonderful post which brings back memories of the time in the 1970's and early 1980's when I used to go yearly for a few weeks to Mykonos. The light - the atmosphere - the feeling - and all good memories of the local greek people, we became friends!
ReplyDeleteEfxaristo for this wonderful post!
Warmest greetings from the Périgord,
Karin
P.S And by the way - thanks a lot for all your comments, and - particularly on the "buildingside" blog, with your suggestion of greek philosophy!
I'm so pleased you liked this post. The photos aren't from Mykonos but they suggest this fantastic island. We love to visit Mykonos at summer, but if you really know this part of my country , you certainly have a good idea about Greece and Greeks. Thank you so much Karin, you are so kind!
DeleteWhat a wonderful day! I LOVE sea food, so this looks amazing. Lucky you to have such a beautiful place to go to!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Anette Willemine
What an amazing place to live - looks so wonderful, and brings back many happy memories of past holidays in the 1980's exploring the quieter and lesser known Greek Islands. Such happy days, just a flight booked to Athens then free-wheeling on the ferries to idyllic islands with turquoise seas, deserted beaches and simple fresh food!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing these lovely photos Olympia- I hope you all had a wonderful day!
