The villa was beautiful and it was perfectly quiet too! There were no screaming kids anyway. (Damn those ex-childminders, they're worse than reformed smokers! )

We sampled all the local food and really got in with the local people. DH has come back with a host of new recipes to try!

DH and DD did some scuba diving and DD was a natural. Not a bad thing to have under your belt at 12! She wants to do PADI course now and become a marine biologist!

The weather was fab too. DD, of course turned a beautiful shade of bronze within hours of being there and I've got a red nose to show for my week in the sun!

We saw the giant turtles in the sea. They are just starting to come in to nest, on the beach that we were staying on. They just swim along side you, quite amazing!

All in all, a truely wonderful holiday and
DH has even sworn never to raise his eyes to heaven when I'm on Mumsnet again!

All three of us would like to thankyou very much for pulling my name out of the hat!

Love from the Love family!

Hows the job BTW?

Glyfada. Where are you Pollylogos?

PollyLogos · 19/05/2008 04:48

There are a couple of other posters on mumsnet who are in Athens although they don't post often. (or at least I don't see their posts!) Maybe we'll all have to have a meet up sometime! Where will you be in Athens?

toodles · 18/05/2008 09:30

Hi Pollylogos, I'm currently living very close to Neapolis, Lakonia. Moving to Athens in July though.

Beetroot · 18/05/2008 07:01

PollyLogos · 18/05/2008 06:53

AbbyMumsnet · 12/05/2008 10:45

So glad to hear you had a good time. We went last year and loved it.

NatalieJaneIsPregnantAgain · 12/05/2008 07:59

Really pleased you had a good time.

And now we all know how to get round DH/P's, win a holiday, easy-peasy

Cover job is going well thanks SEA. It was almost a shame to have tomiss a week actually, so I must be feeling positive about it! I was just starting to get some respect from the kids and get a bit of rappor with the little darlings! I was wearing a visitors badge for the first week, so they couldn't care less about being nice to me, but now I have an offical staff one, so they have to think on, as I'm sticking around!

MamaG · 11/05/2008 20:50

MaureenMLove · 11/05/2008 20:49

I think I've managed to upload your gift! Have a look on my profile! Pure class!

Ggirl, we stayed at Periyali Villas, which is at the far end of the Island on Turtle Beach, near Porta Roma. Where are you staying? If its reasonably close to where we were, I have a top tip for 2 excellent restaurants!

MaureenMLove · 11/05/2008 20:26

I've got a really, really tacky gift for you all too, when I can manage to upload it! I got some awfully strange looks from the shop owner when I was taking a picture of it on the shelf!

fryalot · 11/05/2008 20:24

ooh, an e-postcard? how very hi-tech of you

MaureenMLove · 11/05/2008 20:24

Hello you! Hows the babybump coming along?

OP posts:
fryalot · 11/05/2008 20:24

Strangely enough, I didn't receive my postcard. I checked with the postman every day, and nothing

I guess it's in the post from Zante, eh?
