Skype Sessions with Sheffield, Old Friends Reunited and an Oban Reunion in the Offing.

Our Easing Into English app may be in the Apple app store but that deosn’t mean that our work is over.

Here are Angeliki and I discussing the items on our agenda, before hooking up with Jon Bollinger in Sheffield.  Jon is the Director of Appt Online Solutions – the daddy of our app, so to speak. It was Jon who transmuted our data from page to screen with many sea-changes being incurred en route.We have travelled  a long journey together – and had a lot of fun along the way – he’s the best!

             

                        

 

Major news item: good friend, Jean Rutherford, who has lived for many years in Canada dropped in to visit us.   No one can really get the opportunity to relax on the balcony without one of our animals demanding attention and affection. Here Mr Mao is almost defying gravity in his attempt to be petted!

Of course, Jean had to visit Thessaloniki and sample some of its great cuisine. We made short work of taramasalata, aubergine salad and oven-baked beans. Mmm! – these are my favourite.

 

                                                 

And as we celebrate our time together, we look ahead for soon we will be heading to the Scottish Highlands for an Oban High School reunion. We had a magic time at our last one in 2012, so are greatly looking forward to this one.

                                       

Although we may not be actually going to Islay, the lyrics of the old traditional air ring true:

 “Westering home with a song in the air, Light in the eye and it’s goodbye to care,

 Laughter and love are a welcoming there, Isle of my heart, my own land.”
