I have had a break from blogging,
and part of my time away has been spent
on an Aegean cruise to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary.
One day last week we were in the much photographed island of Santorini,
with it's deep luscious Greek blues, whites, and pastels,
and it's almost dreamlike beauty.

| Don't you love the sculpted flames of the Holy Spirit in the foreground on the walls of the Church of Saint John the baptist? |
The shock of going from our miserable British temperatures
to the lower forties
sent us scurrying for some shade.
There were enticing spots like this dotting the precipitous pathways and inviting us in.
Typically, we prefered a somewhat more casual (and cheaper) approach,
with a simular view and a cold beer!

Today we are back home and walking in our own locality again
and I am thrilled to
drink up colour and light which may be cooler and different,
but is no less luscious than we discovered on our travels.
I even found some Grecian blue,
courtesy of the paint the Water Board
has used to mark their iron work.
And there's a bit of sugar pink for good measure.

I wonder what you may find scattered around your usual places
that will lift your heart today.
Be Blessed.
