If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?

Any number of swear words. I like to think I use them wisely and to make a point. But they slip out a little more often than they should, because I am a grandparent to impressionable small people.

Enough of my swear words.

The word I have used a lot today is luck and lucky.

For many more reasons than I need to go into here. Specifically because we took a ferry to a beach which looked like this four years ago

The owner made the decision to get rid of sunbeds, restrict trading to one taverna and have a well cared for public toilet.

The result for us was a quiet, peaceful beach approaching the end of the summer season.

Untroubled by mass tourism we swam and chatted on a near deserted beach. The water was crystal clear and we had a wholesome late lunch in the one remaining taverna.
