Something lightens me up every time I do a tour of Santorini this video says it all those #mysterieswondershistory of #Santorini. Yes a simple life and living on the Island is something which gets me up in the morning.
The welcoming smiles of the local people to me as an Irish person who makes me feel part of their lives.The local Santorini people that I see on my tours make people feel for a short time also part of the island.
Sitting tonight talking with my mother about the tours and island even she would love to see but as age and commitments prevent her.She herself was amazed of their lifestyles before tourism but is proud that I am involved and encourages me to keep that enthusiasm going ,so into the third year of doing these tours I wish myself and thank my family for their support and the joy in seeing lots of local Santorini people making my tours a joy to wake up every morning and write including my photos

I meet Paul knowles  and his wife last summer in Oia and had a lovely day with them. At the time I didn't know that Paul was a photographer while we toured the Island,but yesterday having seen his beautiful photos it is as we all know important to network and  share.
Paul is what I call and can express as a lovely person with a gift in capturing those special moments and I would even say to those in the field of #fashion #advertising #weddingsonsantorini #photography contact Paul.
Thank you Paul for sharing some of your moments of Santorini and a pleasure to know you.

Sitting back home in Glasgow but snow on Santorini today

 Sitting in Glasgow in my family home charging my batteries with warmth and fun moments with my lovely Mother, brother and sisters  the backbone of always believing and encouraging me to live my dreams.I hear today Santorini has a layer of snow but will for sure be gone by the time I return in late february when I will find blue skies and visiting those parts of the island that are off the beaten track or so relaxed such as parts of Akrotiri the small tavernas that are family owned for example https://www.facebook.com/pages/Melinas-Tavern/139795929539782?fref=ts  where you can find their own homemade tomatokeftedes,salads,and fresh fish or even some homemade dishes of the day if you don't like fish. Or take the small taxi boats at 5 euro return ticket and view or stop and have a swim at one of the beaches

                                                                                  Wonder how Emporio looks today because it has snowed, I believe because of the historical method way of building houses before 1800 inside they will be warm and cosy sitting around their hobs for heating and cooking for sure in the pot a lovely meat stew will be simmering at the moment, maybe if I was there at the moment on my stove it would be my mother's Irish stew which is loved by Greek friends on the island.
Back in those days all over the world they knew how to build using natural resources well worth visiting and part of my tours Santorini Mysteries in as I say to people you never find my tours been the say every time as we all want to see different things depending on our moods of the day.

 The old port of Fira one of the main ports for visitors coming off the cruise boats for the day for sure didn't get any snow been in the depth of the volcano you have two ways of climbing out of the creator by the cable car or riding up on a fun venture on one of the local safe  mules both costing 5euro.Here I was amazed at how well organised the boat tenders ran and at times I was not aware they were there while I sat and had a coffee while admiring the views of the caldera and Fira rock formations surrounding me.
Here I leave you today to dwell on the mysteries of #Santorinimysteries
