“Have you noticed” I said to Hubby as we drove down the hill to our apartment, “that lots of the building sites we’ve passed haven’t changed much since we started coming here three years ago? Perhaps we should take a photo of them each year to see how they change or progress”.
“That’s a great idea” he replied. “Let’s start tomorrow!”
So the very next morning, as we set-out to re-aquaint ourselves with the island, we stopped at the first site at the top of the road.
“Well actually, they are obviously doing some new work,” I said. “Look they have barrels of water and new materials to work with.”
“But this hasn’t changed at all” he said at the next stop, further up the hill. “Yes, it’s such a shame as it’s right between two nice new houses.” I had to agree.
“Well, this is encouraging” I pointed out, as later on and much further along the coast road, we came across a completely new building.
“Yes, I think there was just an olive grove here last year” he said.
“It’s a lovely view . . . and quite close to the beach”.
“Hopefully it will be a nice new house when we come back next year”.
But later that evening, as we drove on to one of our favourite tavernas, we came across another site that hadn’t changed much at all since our last visit.
“Well they have started to add a new level here” I said. “I don’t think all these rods were sticking up like this last time . . . I’d be bound to remember such impressive erections!!!”
“Anyway, can you come along and hurry up please, that’s someone else probably driving on to our restaurant”.
“I mean it you know. If you don’t put that camera away, I’m just going to walk on without you! I don’t want to miss out on a table and you promised me a special meal . . . and a nice bottle of wine . . . to celebrate our first night back!!!”
I got my way of course . . . as I almost always do. Well, I’m sure you’ll agree it’s what a lady who’s been on her feet all day . . . traipsing around building sites, stepping over stones and piles of wood and around cement-mixers and cables . . . simply deserves.
And I’m sure you’ll come across lots more deserving ladies, and gentlemen, at this week’s Sinful Sunday by tapping the lips below!

P.S. I’m also hoping that all that traipsing around will qualify for the “Building Site” category at Jades Scavenger Hunt pages. And don’t forget, there are lots of other Scavenger Hunt “sights” at my Listings page . . . and now over 90 different locations on my Scavenger Slideshow page as well!!!

I have ZERO doubt that you almost always get your way, darling! Beautiful, daring shots, and a wonderful story as well! ~C

Oh yes indeed, I’ve worked on building sites before, can’t ever recall seeing anything as glorious on those ones though!
Thank you so much . . . that’s very nice of you to say.

Courting wolf whistles again, Modesty ? :). If I had been working there I would have been very busy with my ‘tool’ 🙂 – another brave, amusing and delicious scavenge
Actually Clive, as we left the first site the builders van pulled-up and three big men jumped out really, really quickly, from the front seat . . . obviously they hadn’t been wearing their safety belts or, they were just in a hurry to start work!!!
Xxx – K
P.s. . . . AND, they weren’t holding their tools !!!
Yet another fun conversation between you and your hubby, and of course sexy images 🙂

Thank you Marie . . . it was a fun day. And, no arguments until the evening when I was just beginning to get anxious about not getting a table at our fav restaurant!!!

The burgeoning erections are all the better for your presence!!! Xxx
Lol!!! Thank you sweetie !!!

Did you know that the reason you see so many buildings that appear to be finished but still have the metal rods sticking out of the top is that the laws are until you put an actual finished rook on it you don’t have to pay any tax on the building….. hence why so many get left looking ‘unfinished’.
And it is funny because my building site Scavenger Hunt also took place in Greece because damn they have a lot of them and unlike in the UK they are are never fenced off.

I so, so wish the same was true here, I’d have Hubby up on the roof attaching rods from every tile . . . wearing a Humbler of course!!!

Your humour and photos are as wonderful as always. You never fail to make me smile.
Thank you sweetie . . . it’s always so lovely to hear they bring smiles!!!

When I saw the title I squealed with excitement – these are fabulous!
Modesty at a building site – love it x
I have worked on a building site! We lads were never that lucky!
Beautifully daring photos!
This is one I’m not sure I,l ever be able to get but maybe I need a holiday somewhere that doesn’t secure their sites as well as we do in this country!
Fabulous images as always x
you are so bold and delightful. That last one is my favorite, with your pose and your handbag and shoes. So good!
I was hoping to make an “erection” reference; alas,you beat me to it. Well done, as always.
Your scavenger hunt posts are one of my favorite things! I love the way you weave all the photos into a clever and funny story. And all the daring shots you get! I’m ever-impressed. Just lovely too 🙂
The photos i think are from a place in Greece.
You are perfect.
Many kisses
