I return. Can you be too relaxed?

We are back from our Greek holiday on the island of Ithaka. I feel relaxed….so much so that I stare at the garden but can’t bring myself to do anything. Well I picked some tomatoes, which proves I can get out of the chair if I try.

I’ll show you a few holiday pictures while I try to get back into the swing of blogging.

The house we were staying in is the one at the top of the picture. It had wonderful views.

Welcome back – looks like you had a fab time :)

Those Greek cats really know how to work your heartstrings don’t they?

oh! I want a holiday like that…it has been too long already and the last one was way too short! Still, the US beckons in October but I’d love a beach one too with a lovely hot sun! xxx

I wouldn’t be relaxed after a holiday like that. I’d be too cross that I had to come home.

Welcome back! What a wonderful sounding trip! It’s on my list of places I Must Visit! Your house on the hillside had a great view of the water. Too bad you couldn’t slip that sweet kitty in your carry on bag. gail

Huh.. what a view from the hillside…. It’s alright to be nostalgic about the island, the beach and the furry animals… but you cannot keep watching the garden like a beach… otherwise slugs and pests will come in and claim your garden as theirs! haha… Cheers, ~bangchik

Favorite activity…staring at the sea, YES! Oh those healthful negative ions are oozing right through the computer screen. Thank goodness you took photos to help you transition back to real life gradually, rather than cold turkey! We want more photos. Please. :-)

Oh my yes. Staring at the sea. It’s a good thing I don’t have one nearby or I’d never get anything done.

Welcome back. Picking the tomatoes is a good start, but don’t overtax yourself. You don’t want to lose all that hard-won relaxin’ too soon.

What a gorgeous place it is! Your house on the hill looks like the perfect spot to stay. I would have joined you had I known you were going;-) I could stare at the sea for hours on end. It’s one of my very favorite places to be. (Not that I’ve ever done it in Greece, mind you!)–but I would if I could!

This looks like the kind of place I’d like as well… I know that feeling when you get back from holiday – it’s not easy… but glad you’re having time to enjoy your garden – it’s not all about work – but hard to be in the garden and just relax for a day as there’s always so much to do! Take care Miranda
