Andrew holding an adorable beagle puppy.
Nikki taking Fizz for a walk. It was a fun visit and we took some of the dogs for a walk.
The five beagle puppies. They are all going to Denmark to be adopted.
A photo of the people on the tour to the shelter. The work of the shelter has been greatly helped by two things. Firstly social media which allows them to put photos on the internet and people can instantly respond by offering a dog a new home. Secondly, legislation within the European Union has allowed pets to be transported across borders and quarantine can occur in the home country. Thus, you can buy a dog from the shelter for 450 British pounds which includes vaccination, etc and transportation to your home country. 150 dogs were sent all over Europe this year.
The next part of this excursion was entitled A Taste of Greece. It included a visit to a taverna where the owner, Maria, gave a cooking demonstration and then we ate lunch.
Here she is rolling out puff pastry. Note the thin long rolling pin which she needs for the large thin pastry she ends up with.
This delicious dessert on a bed of yoghurt is thinly sliced carrot which has been cooked into a syrup with an equal quantity of sugar. You would not believe it is all carrot.
Andrew took a photo of a nice bay on one of his walks. There are about 60 beaches on this island. That is one of the main attractions here.
And a photo of the bridge. The main reason we are all here.
The weather has been lovely until yesterday but it then turned quite nasty and overcast with some rain. As someone said, very much like British weather. It is nice to gather for bridge on days like that. Hopefully the sun will return.
