Three Days in Athens, Greece – Honeymoon Part 1
Day 1 We arrived at our Air B&B to be greeted by the Acropolis. It’s probably the most impressively cheap view in the city we could have found and I could have stared out of that window all day or night! It was a prime location, just 30 seconds from Monastiraki Square and station which meant […]

Pottery Class Round 2
Day 1 Having done a beginners pottery course with Jess Jos a year previous, I really REALLY wanted to go back again.
