Photos (for those with a sense of Moo-mour)

A few months ago back when we were still looking for a new place to live in Nafplio we made several day trips, and once or twice stayed over for a couple of nights.

On one such occasion we came across this on the road from Corinth to Nafplio.


In case you can't quite make it in the photo, here's a close-up:


The kids were highly aMOOsed. As were we, so much so that we slowed down for the cow-car to overtake us again and for Alex to take the photo.

Then, and I kid you not, after overtaking the pick up once again, a few hundred meters ahead, we came across this car!


Once again, just in case you missed it, here's a close-up:


Which we found even more aMOOsing. So much so that we slowed down again to be overtaken once more and take its photo.

Ok. Enough of the ridiculous MOO jokes. Some might say 'Only in Greece' and I admit I was rather tempted to title the post that, but then I am sure that if I did, people would tell me they had seen something similar elsewhere!

A challenge

So here's the thing. My Brother in Law is getting married in on Saturday. My future SIL asked me just over a week ago if it might be possible for me to make cupcakes for a treat (kerasma) for the guests. 700 of them!

It is rather a large number to turn out from my kitchen. It is rather a long way from our house to the venue. It's a bit scary. Still I am confident I can do it. This is when a spare freezer, a kitchen aid and a van might be useful! We'll think of something! (If the follow up to this story requires that I use the tag 'disaster' I will retire from making cupcakes forever.)

They won't be too large, and probably just two flavors. I am not going to be giving anything else away for now.

I have a more pressing concern: what to wear!

That, and I have guests this week.
