Last Minute Trinklet Shopping

With our usual Halloween celebrations having been put in mothballs for this year (a first), what with us being here dans Greece and our beloved niece and nephew embracing all the pleasures of La Belle France and the odd crepe, we can't help feeling a little guilty for leaving our beloved Alice behind, who, needless to say, was just philosophical, telling us that what she's never had, she couldn't ever miss and, anyway, she had had the most wonderful time Trick or Treating with Kata's little boy round the estate, adding she doesn't think she could face another "Haribo" of any description, for a long while yet!

Nevertheless, we still feel that we ought to take a little something back for her as our treat, but noting no Haribos, even though you can get said confectionary in all manner of variation, unseen as yet en Anglerterre. 

In the end, after visiting almost every shop in Kardamena, we finally narrowed our choice of said gift down to some local soap, knowing just how much Alice adores a good fragrance. However, with so many whiffs and pongs, thank goodness for Darrell, who really knows his gardenia from his petunia and exactly what aroma a lady of elegance and unquestionable sophistication as Alice, would like to dowse herself in.

He made it look soooooooo easy, choosing three:- pomegranate, rose, and ylang ylang, adding, for good measure, a pink pumice stone on a rope and a small natural sponge.  What would we do without him?
