Hi Guys,
We are so into this BLOG thing now (ok truth is its only your blog that we know about to I guess we are into it)
Girls love the photo of Hannah, and I love the photo of the dudes at the taverna- I am there!! we are so coming to visit. Mind you I look really bad in a singlet!
Can I say, we love the name of Macracki, in fact it really cracks us up and the girls think we should of called Petal Mrs Macracki!!!!!
I think Petal should be called Macraki too Petal Macraki Price has a nice ring to it. In Greek it means small tiny.!
I will post some more photos of animals soon perhaps Grey bear our 3 legged cat will be next to appear. very hot hear off on a boat trip for Kens birthday and yes Frances might sing again!
Thanks for liking my blog. Kisses and hugs all round and from Macraki

Megan is very impressed with Toula and her purchase of the peacock on a stick. Megan not only would love to meet Toula! but wants to know if the peacock on a stick comes in pink?

Hi Claire,
We were all very happy to hear that Muttley is alive and kicking! Good news.. Mimi wanted me to tell you that she turned 8 on Tuesday 27th and she had the best time – 5 friends came over for a couple of hours (long enough!!) and they gave her a surf board!!! Mimi is sooo excited – but unfortunately the weather is miserable, so hopefully that will change before school goes back!
Keep well and hi to Matthew xx M
So glad you are enjoying the posts it’s good to hear when they are liked and also great to hear your news.
Congratulations to Mimi on turning 8 Tell her to watch out for those sharks and make sure she keeps her teeth clean and strong to bite back if necessary!
Look forward to seeing you all in a few months Kisses Cx http://www.clairelloyd.com
Hi Claire. I have sent you a couple of emails at your office address, do you still use this? The site looks great and of course you are now the Battersea of Lesbos. Love Max
Hi,
I think we need to meet Irene! Love all your new photos – not sure about the doctor surgery! Keep healthy and happy.l.. See you soon xm
Hi,
Megan and I absolutely loved the photo of Irene (PS I have posted my Gillette in the Express Post), I am very worried about the doctors surgery equipment- that looks modern compared to where I go!
Is that a photo of almond blossom? looks great
Take care BPx
Almond blossom yes and come to stay Irene will meet you at the airport!
Really like your work. How you see and capture your subjects particularly.

Could you please tell me where I can get a limited edition copy of “My Greek Island Home” – I love the fabric bag! And can’t wait to see the book – it looks divine.
Hi Jody glad you like it.
You can get it from my website clairelloyd.com thanks Claire
Hi Claire your website is gorgeous! I met you at the Avid bookshop launch of My Greek Island Home, and have blogged about it on http://awhitecarousel.com/2012/claire-lloyd-my-greek-island-home/ as it is so inspiring…
I bought the book at Avid and have seen that there are limited editions with a handmade fabric bag – is it possible to buy the bag to go with my signed copy from the night?
Thanks so much for sharing your story and home. Cate
Yes Cate, lovely to meet you and thanks for sharing me on your blog! Where did you get all my photos from??? No problem re bag its $20plus p&p
