We also countdown to major events in "sleeps". Currently 14 sleeps 'til Legoland!
Being a night worker I also get a little obsessed with counting joined up sleeps, after tonight, I have 6 joined up sleeps, Mmm!
Bon Voyage, have a lovely time x

Oh how wonderful, Vanessa! I went to Greece when I was in college and LOVED being there. Someday I'd love to go back. I hope you have a refreshing, restful, delightful time.

And the flowers in the previous post are absolutely gorgeous. What an amazing garden you must have.

so... I'm a bit late in wishing you a happy holiday.. but how was it? I must admit I'm very jealous, I could seriously do with a holiday!

Please tell us all about your holiday - my husband is in the process of buying a yacht and we're interested in doing the same type of sailing break. Cheers!
