Sellsy:
Thanks again for the daily news , we've been and gone to SS this year so the reports which once aided the countdown and anticipation levels have now been replaced by a tinge of sadness - as we can't get back any time soon .However your reports now  bring a sense of well being and understanding as you describe the comings and goings, we can picture the scene in our minds eye, so keep them coming. For the anoraks among us this thread has over 49,000 views ! and is well on the way to being the most viewed topic ever! No pressure then Hippopots !  ;D

Well said Sellsy

Awww, thank Sellsy, kind words.

My inspiration for this thread came from our friend 'Eggy', who started a similar thread on arillas.com on 8th August 2007. Got a little way to go to catch up with his current views of 996,159 views, but he has got a 6 1/2 year head start, so who knows how many we'll have in 7 years time! ;D

So today has been hot and sunny, and no sea mist today. A bit of a breeze on the beach gave a little respite from the heat, but probably also some unexpected sunburn for some!!

Tonight there were lots of people out for dinner, maybe some on their last night. Most tavernas between here and the beach were very busy when I took the dog for a walk, with Mediterannean Village, Zorbas, 2 Stars, and Little Prince all packed, and Olympia, and Summer Dreams doing well too.

Still reading your lovely posts and wishing I was there!   Just wanted to give a wee review of Hippopots!

We arrived in San Stefanos on 4th July.  On Sunday 6th we decided to have a few hours out of the sun and headed for Hippopots.  You made us feel most welcome and we loved our couple of hours with you, blethering about your life in San Stefanos, setting up your business, your time in Florida etc.  What interesting lives you both lead!! 

We each chose to paint a mug - 3 different shapes - and three very different outcomes!  Painting them in the shade was a lovely relaxing experience. 

We loved walking by every day and shouting hello to you and Bod, it felt like being at home!

We picked up our glazed mugs a few days later and were all delighted with them.  We'll treasure them forever as this was our first visit to SS.  Can't wait to come back next year and add something else to our handpainted collection!

(Can't seem to upload any photos but will post them to your Facebook page!  See you next year!)

Gill, Ralph & Leah!

Fly out to SS on Monday evening and will swing by to see you on Tuesday night to unleash our 4 year old Nate on the pottery.............!  ;D
