το δέντρο - η επιστροφή του τεμπέλη δράκου

The other day i was trying to find new tunes for Alexi and i found a really great song that i keep listening! It is a kids song but it is for everyone really who want to feel like a kid. It will make more sense to greek speakers but Google might translate it anyway. To all Greek speakers out there enjoy! For everyone else, the music is brilliant!

Το δέντρο που φυτέψαμε
στου κήπου τη γωνιά
μεγάλωσε κι απάνω του
φωλιάζουνε πουλιά

Παπαρούνες, κρίνα, πανσέδες, γιασεμιά
μαργαρίτες, ρόδα, ανθίζουν στα κλαριά...

Μας κοροϊδεύει αυτός,
κι αντί για τα πουλιά
μας αραδιάζει
λουλούδια με φτερά !!

Το δέντρο που φυτέψαμε
στου κήπου τη γωνιά
μεγάλωσε κι απάνω του
φωλιάζουνε πουλιά

Καλαμάρια, μύδια, τσιπούρες και σαργοί
καραβίδες, στρείδια, γαρίδες κι αστακοί...

Μα πού τα βρήκε αυτός,
τόσα θαλασσινά
και μες στον κήπο
θα φτιάξει κακαβιά !!

Το δέντρο που φυτέψαμε
στου κήπου τη γωνιά
μεγάλωσε κι απάνω του
φωλιάζουνε πουλιά

Αλεπούδες, τίγρεις, λιοντάρια τρομερά
αντιλόπες, ζέβρες, αρκούδες κι ερπετά...

Τα άγρια ζώα τα πήρε για πουλιά,
κι έφτιαξε ζούγκλα στου κήπου τη γωνιά !!

Ραταρα ρατατα ρατατα ραραρα

Το δέντρο που φυτέψαμε
στου κήπου τη γωνιά
μεγάλωσε κι απάνω του
φωλιάζουνε πουλιά

Χελιδόνια, αηδόνια, σπουργίτια κι αετοί
πελαργοί, κοτσύφια και τσαλαπετεινοί...

Ναι, τώρα μάλιστα, μας μίλησε σωστά
και κελαϊδούνε στο δέντρο τα πουλιά !!!

Ραταρα ρατατα ρατατα ραραρα

A day at Kirkstall Abbey!

Today was not the best day in the world but i had cabin fever and i really wanted to leave the house and go out and about! One of the best things to do whilst in Leeds is spend a day at Kirkstall Abbey!

We got there about lunch time so we started by having lunch at the cafe next to the museum. The cafe is part of the old building and it is very church-like and the food is really yummy!

After lunch it stopped raining as much so we went for a little walk around the Abbey only to discover a yummy deli fair! The best part of the fair was the Yummy Yank, an american lady that makes divine puddings and is responsible for the extra kilo i put on  last Saturday!

Then we went back to the museum. It is surprisingly big and very interesting!Abbey House Museum shows life in Victorian Leeds in 1880. Check out opening hours and more info on the Abbey House Museum here.
