Fashion Sunday

This should have happened last summer really. This is from my son's christening in Greece. Some really nice dresses particularly my sister's. All sorts of styles and  patterns looked lovely under blue skies and lovely summer weather. Enjoy!

Sophia's retro glasses match the print beautifully

My sister and her amazing 50s style floral number rocked!

This is all of us, me in a 20s style dress and the two girls on the right in lovely lacey dresses. 

May Day

In Greece it is traditional to make a wreath on May Day. Remnant of the pagan days tradition but we still do it and it is still fun! This is our own in Leeds!

May Day wreath

We keep the wreath until St John's day and then the wreath is thrown into a bonfire. Boys used to leap over the fire and stayed out until late. This name day is around the summer solstice period so one can see how Christianity has adapted in Greece.

Does anybody know where else this tradition is being practiced?

Roses from Greece

My mum came over and she brought some really nice roses from our garden in Greece. How i miss home sometimes! Enjoy the Greek roses.
