Kelsey's Blog
Hello
I live in a rented apartment towards the back Hydra town, just off Miaoulis Street. My daughter is about to leave home, having been educated from the ages of 10-18 in Hydra, and is moving back to England for training and to work with the British Army Veterinary Corps. I have two indoor cats, three outdoor cats and two dogs to keep me company. When I'm not working as the Administrator of this site (GreekIslandsRealEstate.com), I enjoy going out with friends to eat, chat in the bars, visit the latest shows or I like to stay at home to read, sort out my massive collection of photos and am teaching myself to play the piano (my neighbours don't seem to object). I love living in Hydra even with the sometimes difficult parts and in the future I anticipate travelling a lot more especially to the other Greek islands. My blog includes my personal observations and thoughts about every day occurances along with my hints and tips for day-to-day living in Hydra Island Greece.

What I ordered: Nice for the winter and not too heavy for the summer so will be okay year roundOne of my few gripes about living full-time on a Greek island is the lack of choice for soft-furnishings and the rather oppressive feeling of "having to go to the mainland or do without" when faced with the option of traipsing into Athens or not to find what are essentially fairly basic things. Today I avoided my dilemma and went online to do something about my chilly looking windows now that winter has been heralded by an unseasonably awful September. It's alright having traditional cotton panels during the summer, but there's nothing more depressing than sitting in your living room gazing through your gloomy somewhat bleak windows when it's pouring with rain. Inadequate excluders aside, it's chill-inducing to look at your lightweight summer voiles billowing in the draft!
