I’m not going to apologise for my long absence but I am going to try real hard to make a come back with this blog now.<br />
<br />
We are staying home most of the time now what with Covid 19. Greece has not had many cases but that could all change with tourists been allowed to come for holidays. In March I had a very bad chest infection, and honestly I thought I was dying. Breathing was difficult and I was very frightened. My lungs seemed to be that congested that as I exhaled the air seemed to get trapped and it felt like my lungs were bubbling. So, so scary. I went to see the doctor and they wouldn’t let me in they talked to me through the glass door. They did however write me a prescription for antibiotics which they handed to my husband through a window.<br />
<br />
So what have I been doing? I have been doing a lot of sewing, knitting and baking which I won’t go into here as that will be other posts. What I want to talk about today is gardening. My garden is right at the top of our property and is very small. The soil is terrible as it is mostly stones, the more you dig it the more they come up to the surface. It gets full sun most of the day so is very dry. The last time we cultivated it was 2011. In 2014 I planted some thornless blackberries. That first year we had quite a good harvest but every year since they tend to get cooked by the sun just before they ripen.<br />

So in May my husband , Ian was going to use our small tiller to turn over this small plot. It wouldn’t start. So off it went to the repair shop. It must have been there for nearly three weeks. They couldn’t find a replacement part. Eventually the found one that fitted and Ian got to turn the garden over.</div>

So this is my garden with my first plantings. The garden is on a slope as you may have noticed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I have planted tomatoes, courgette, turnips, beans, cucumber, patty pans, Brussels, melon and peppers. Everything is now growing away nicely. We have picked our first 5 courgettes which I turned into courgette fritters, recipe to follow in another post. </div>

Last year was a bad year for me and my whole family. My lovely sister was diagnosed with Lymphoma. This knocked the wind out of our sails. It was very aggressive and she lost her fight on the 7 August. 2018. My mother died when I was eight and my sister played a very big part in my upbringing. I miss her terribly, miss our long chats on skype. I keep thinking, oh illl give Lily a ring, and then it dawns on me she is not there.</div>

We being my friend Jude and my husband, who kindly offered to drive us there and me.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhticYBc9angy5Rg8K4Eua1_kDhaAS87vMONJdIRdtqvJ4q-McAjRxV_QiaGFyxpcwiWfwaIjTGitMw0EKpBt1SqX7QGeaM5N6ybVayAN_MR4Vj-VA-aa3kizE-ahwVKDxnNYKL_I459Ww/s1600/material.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div>
Someone had told my friend that they where selling material on the outside street market for 2euro a mtr. Well that was enough for us to go take a look. It is about a 3 hr drive from where we live so we got up at 5.30 to leave at 6.30. Nice early start.<br />
<br />
The market was huge compared to the ones around where we live and sure enough there was a stall selling material for 2 euros.<br />
We dug amongst the piles of fabric and made our purchases<br />
<br />
<br />

A nice little haul.<br />
<br />
With our purchases safely stowed away in our car we took to the streets. No, not to shop but to wander through the old town like tourists do.<br />

Well it's just not big enough for my bed, which I already knew. So I printed off another 9 patterns, but due to having visitors and having a cataract removed I have not started them yet. I don't know when I will get back to it as our holidays are looming ever closer. The extra strips are already cut so it's just sitting waiting for the right time to start again. Really loved paper piecing this.</div>

I go to my local knit and matter group in Neapoli. I have been crocheting this long jumper for ages, but I only do it when I am there. I don't have a pattern. I am just winging it. I have the back and front done and the two sleeves just need to do the yoke. There's no hurry as the weather is warming up nicely here. Got a bit of a tan already.</div>

This pineapple block is the first of 16. I have just started it. I spent two evenings cutting 1 1/2 inch strips. The blocks are 18 inches square. There is no new fabric in it. They are all recycled fabrics.</div>

<li>Well hello to anyone who is still following me. Christmas and New Year was quiet for us. Think the least said the better for I saw the New Year in with two black eyes. Not a pretty sight I can assure you. No I was not in a fight or anything like that. We went out to collect some wood for the fire and I got in the way of a small tree truck that decided to flip over and hit me right between the eyes. It knocked my specs clean off my face. Miraculously they never broke. I had a scrape above my left eye and both eyes puffed up and went black. No photo proof either.</li>
<li>We have had all sorts of weather recently to. </li>
<li> Sun, rain, thunderstorms, snow, cold winds and more rain. Lots of places have been flooded and blocked in by snow. Don't for one moment think because Crete is a hot country that we don't get cold weather in the winter because we do.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Things I have been making recently were this cushion cover for our secret Santa at the knit and natter group I attend. </div>

Ian fell down taking the dogs for a walk and broke his right wrist and he is right handed.</div>

My poor house is naked. The builders came and removed her clothing and left her stripped bare. Soon she will have a whole new look. She is going to look real smart. It has been a long time coming only New doors and windows left to do.<br />
Don't forget you can click on a photo to enlarge it for a better look.<br />
We have dust everywhere and the poor dogs can't run free in the courtyards. To be honest they have been really well behaved and haven't barked much at the builders. They are stuck indoors but having lots more walks.<br />
<br />
Will keep you posted on developments.<br />

Well it's May and I am back to tell you all what has been happening in our lives.<br />
Oops it's not May! It's September. (Where on earth did all that time go???) Let me tell you that it has just whizzed by. I have not even had time to keep up with all your blogs, please forgive me.<br />
<br />
As my followers will know (that's if I have any left) we moved back to the UK in April 2012 and by April 2014 we had made up our minds to move back to Crete. Yippee. Yes we are here in sunny Crete. We got back the beginning of May.<br />
<br />
The house needed a good going through, two years of dust, cobwebs and creepy crawlies had to be removed. Then all our stuff arrived, boxes and boxes of it. (well really it's nearly all mine. Material, patterns, sewing thins, material, wool and material etc etc.<br />
<br />
We have unpacked all of the essentials but there are still loads of boxes. My boxes. Where oh where is all my stuff going to go!!! Think I will have to get some sky hooks.<br />
<br />
Did I tell you that I have loads of material. Good job I have loads and loads of ideas so I will use some of it up. I just thought of two more ideas yesterday, they are written down in my little note book so I will not forget them.<br />
<br />
There is quite a list in there now. Autumn is coming up so I will have more time for sewing, knitting and crocheting and whatever else creeps up my back.<br />
<br />
Anyway enough of that. We have looked at these plain white walls for long enough, think it's time for a change, an injection of colour. Get the colour charts out and see what we fancy.<br />
<br />
Watch this space.<br />
<br />

Got loads to do and hardly anytime to do it in. I will find some time in May to tell you all what is happening. I am really excited about it.<br />

So we are both up to the challenge so here goes.<br />
<br />
Going back to my post from last week, I am still feeling a lot of aches and pains. Hopefully they will soon go. They need to cos can't be putting up with them for much longer. I don't like feeling restricted in my movements. Anyway enough on that subject.<br />
<br />
It is over a month since we lost our faithful friend, our Lucky. She is a big miss, I still have tears when I think about her. My eyes are full now. Even Rosie misses her terribly. Rosie was brought up with her from been born. She seems to have lost her confidence in some ways. She used to wander of into the woods looking for rabbits, but now she sticks close by. Any noise and she is looking all around nervously. Not the same little dog as she used to be. Hopefully it will only be a matter of time.<br />
She has changed in other ways too. In the morning we have a little sing song together. Something she never did. She gives me more cuddles and kisses and wants picked up a lot more.<br />
<br />
Right that is my post for today. Please help us get back into the groove by leaving us lots of comments. Thank you.<br />
Cya,<br />

I got up early to have a bath and get ready. On my way down the stairs, something happened, not sure how it happened or why but my foot seemed to slip off the stair. Crash, bang, wallop there I was lying in a heap at the bottom. Oh the pain! It took me a few minutes to gather myself together, however I could not get up onto my feet. It seemed that I had knocked the stuffing out of me. I literally crawled on all fours to the settee and lay the top half of my body on the seat. Eventually I managed to climb onto the settee. I lay there for a while trying to pull myself together. Needless to say I never made it to the interview. In the afternoon I was supposed to be meeting friends for lunch, that never happened neither.</p> <p>I did eventually go to the hospital and had some x-rays, nothing broken thank goodness.So I have been laid up for a few days. I had to go for a medication check at the doctors today and explained about this feeling I had in my chest and she sent me back to the hospital for another x-ray thinking I could have a collapsed lung. It turned out to be ok. Phew, let out a sigh of relief. Well thats it from me, catch you all again soon.</p> <p>Cya Judith x</p> MyCretanlifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09137407853642602465noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200069066785996776.post-14867778626816449002013-08-22T21:36:00.001+03:002013-08-22T21:36:34.848+03:00The fruits of our labours<p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAnh1HN81VhRNSAK2Z-qrMWdTEs_gCnSIjw4TGjNCAwvXHYJDrpvdikXrq1rseul2cNs2vnD-RxSKi8ztpoQmTMj46b8UKe-aHwxv6jufG5FEHubH-3aix_XHwMVZqmzUIhP2LvjgrRHQ/s1600-h/SV205041%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img title="SV205041" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="SV205041" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-p4FkjUoCNTI/UhZaMbrmJmI/AAAAAAAABvU/TZlIf3ok6BE/SV205041_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="499" height="386"></a></p> <p>Today I have harvested tomatoes, borlotti beans, runner beans and a patty pan squash.</p> <p>Think a nice vegetable soup is in order. </p> <p>I have not bought any veg for quite a number of weeks now, what a money saver that is.</p> <p>However I do have cucumbers coming out of my ears. </p> <p>Think I will go blackberry picking tomorrow if the weather stays fine.

My pc decided to give up the ghost and leave me stranded. I need to hunt out a cable from a box that's in the cupboard under the stairs. Under some other boxes. When I find it I will be able to post some pictures. I have things to show you all. <br />
So whats been happening since the last post. Well I got another temp job for at least 4 weeks so not much on the crafting front as I need my sleep. The job entails sewing on industrial machines. One is an embroidery machine with 4 heads.<br />
I have been doing a bit of hand sewing, not much mind you but I like how its turning out. Might only make a small project out of it like a cushion, we will see. I have some embroidered linen that I want to cut up and make into cushions also so might have that done by the time I am ready to post pics. <br />
Today we went out for lunch with my sister and brother inlaw and with it been Mothers Day, Lily and I got a free dessert. Yum yum. <br />
I bought a second hand greenhouse the other week it needs all cleaned before we put it up in the garden. It's 16 ft x 6ft so I will be able to grow loads of stuff. Cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and all kind of things. Hope we have a better summer than last year.<br />
Ok got to go need my sleep for work tomorrow.<br />

I also got some from ebay.</p> <p>All I need now is a bookcase to put them all in. I am looking for a one as I have quite a pile forming now.</p> <p>I then found a nice mirror and these two tall shelving units. The mirror was nice and cheap, only £3.00 the shelves cost £13.00 with 8 placemats and a lamp thrown in. A job lot so to speak. The light is ideal next to my sewing machine  as it’s in a corner and it’s a bit dark there. My eyes are not as good as they used to be.</p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguMDGBuIkDrMxWP79mzbdROuVH__qUkcQJiHFeZqzXTk_J9oOlmlDpKIksSZTyoKafp5w3cJPgd_xAW8ST8nXiKJudRlQRC9f3z6R3An2PiDJpqkAArWaFvwvr2Q0zSrNmSV2LgO21mGM/s1600-h/SV204789%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SV204789" border="0" alt="SV204789" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-6FRei5-4qXw/UPXANEh3sTI/AAAAAAAABnw/AgZRTSZcaBE/SV204789_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="382" height="516" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU6MYV0gt6tBZXPRuZEBJ93oHdwIsLwILmvb8MjD_LkvU-zOw4DdVX9AcBFCzsEObHpYjjanJviSsNPYMM_YQi58GRTBZCytqjX2AhW1K7vRPDZB0zbPDF_Ll60EPLg8fOmwpRkioCZNA/s1600-h/SV204790%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SV204790" border="0" alt="SV204790" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-TFB7SlWb-50/UPXAO5L96eI/AAAAAAAABoA/K9WXgoylgrU/SV204790_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="389" height="526" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-1cgS1cyj8jo/UPXAPy_cbtI/AAAAAAAABoM/xiTJvcXkP64/s1600-h/SV2047864.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SV204786" border="0" alt="SV204786" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-8s8-gSrwaEI/UPXAQr1YtuI/AAAAAAAABoU/QnBt7y1WNLE/SV204786_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="519" height="399" /></a></p> <p><font size="1">More material to be recycled</font></p> <p>Two quilt covers a shirt and a piece of new material for my stash and two nice doilies.
