A Modest Retreat #wickedwednesday

Modesty Ablaze Greece 1982 — Modesty Ablaze – Greece – 1982

Thirty-seven years ago Hubby and I embarked on our very first holiday together
. . . island hopping in Greece. With sunglasses, sun tan lotion, a shared backpack . . . and very little-else.

This was, of course, long before emails and mobile phones . . . (but obviously not Polaroid cameras as Hubby insisted on taking his !!!)

That holiday marked a lasting love-affair with the Mediterranean which continued every summer after that first adventure, searching yet more lovely islands to enjoy.

Then, seven years ago, we found an island which we loved so much, we decided to return the following summer . . . and we’ve returned every summer since!

With each passing year we wonder if we will get bored, and decide not to return. But in fact it actually seems to get harder and harder to leave each time we stroll along that beach . . . “our beach” . . . and sink our toes into the sand and feel that sun on our backs (and our fronts!!!)

So, if an island get-away, could be called “A Retreat”, then this island is certainly ours!!!
