At the Far Out beach club celebrating Judy's birthday. It's a beautiful sunny day and quite a few old faces are gathered here. It's so good to see old friends #April2017 #lambisstory #iosisland2017 #faroutbeachclub #myios2017 #springtimeonios (at FarOut Beach Club)

Entrance to the traditional village of Ios with its rabbit warren of streets & numerous churches. The church bells will be ringing mournfully throughout the day, think I might escape them by walking down to Mylopotas. The notice on the gateway tells people about the traditional custom of "The Swings" which will be celebrated here on Easter Sunday evening #April2017 #lambisstory #iosisland2017 #ioschora #myios2017 #iosvillage #springtimeonios (at Ios Greece Island)

Don't know why I'm feeling so down lately, must pull myself out of it. A few businesses are opening up in the port & there's a certain vibrancy in the air. I must say I miss the old palm tree (murdered by the evil weevil), but love the pebble mosaic in the centre of the square. Back in the village now, think a trek up to Gremiotissa is on the cards for later #April2017 #lambisstory #iosisland2017 #portofios #myios2017 #iosport #springtimeonios (at Ios Port)

It was very difficult to get motivated today with the grey & gloomy weather. Went for a coffee & had a wake-up call looking at Mark's beautiful freshly painted white lines. He makes the area outside his shop look so pretty. Then a friend from London phoned, he was sitting in his garden in bright sunshine, but was envying me living on a Greek island. Yes, I am very lucky 🍀 So I'll walk down to the port & make the most of the day #April2017 #lambisstory #iosisland2017 #oioigeezaretroclothing #iosvillage #myios2017 #ioschora #springtimeonios (at "Ios oioigeeza clothing")

The sun came out just before it was due to set. It was very welcome. Had a drink in the Fun Pub for their opening night - the clientele was a who's who of the usual suspects. Good to see everybody. Grabbed a souvlaki from Yummie's before heading home #April2017 #lambisstory #iosisland2017 #myios2017 #springtimeonios (at Ios Greece Island)

Failed at most of attempts I had of doing things: failed at dying my eggs blue although I used the same red cabbage recipe as I used last year. Ah well, different eggs, different cabbage. I also didn't get my hair to turn out the way I wanted it to. Never mind, it fades fast here. Decided to give myself a treat & went for a meal at Lord Byron. The bouillabaisse and garlic bread were divine as was the cheesecake with fresh strawberries. Nicely replete, I'm calling it a day #April2017 #lambisstory #lordbyronios #iosisland2017 #yummyfood #myios2017 #bouillabaisse #springtimeonios (at Lord Byron)

Spent a lovely evening with Peter and Robbie at Lord Byron. The food was delicious, the company entertaining and the atmosphere warm and cozy. We finished off the meal with a couple of espresso martinis - what a great way to end off a very enjoyable day #April2017 #lambisstory #iosisland2017 #lordbyronios #myios2017 #springtimeonios (at Lord Byron)

Happy Friday friends 💙 A different side of Ios Chora (from yesterday's walk). Today I'm going up to Uli's house in Mylopotas. I find walking so therapeutic. Better get a move on #April2017 #lambisstory #iosisland2017 #myios2017 #ioschora #iosvillage #springtimeonios (at Ios Greece Island)
