Back to Work

.. Well Monday was not a bank holiday in Greece. Sunday, being the first of May,  wreaths of flowers were hung on the doors of the houses and posies on cars! Monday was back to work. One of my first jobs of the day was to chase the person in the council responsible for getting the backdrop for theVamos amphitheatre fixed - it will be used for Vamos Art Week in about three weeks time!  Got my essay plan sent off for the Uni course and started work on some new web pages for animals and environment on the website
 Had a conversation about the removal of the glass outside the factory in Kokkino Horio, where it has mounted up and become an eyesore. Lots of people in the town hall this morning and many meetings going on and things happening! Have an invitation to a seminar at the Environmental Education facility on Monday but unfortunately have a previous appointment.
Very windy today it started rainy but is now quite warm. About time the weather settled down.

The council continues to choose its officers and the committees have been chosen for finance and also what is called the "Quality of life committee" which deals with planning, environmental issues, licenses, parks and cemeteries amongst other things. I think they will be kept pretty busy! Last night I was at a wedding - more of that tomorrow and tonight I am off to a play being produced in Vamos. "And ever More Shall Be So" By Norman Robbins. I see once again that television is re running the series " A Place In Greece" which featured Brian Saunders and Andrew Stewart Sutton along with their friends Les and Pete and their adventures buying a property here in Crete and their life here in Apokoronas. Love them or hate them it was good entertainment as long as it was not taken too seriously. What happened after the series ended? They are now back in the UK.

The Old Bakery at Georgioupolis ( and more work in the square!)

Image
The best bread in Crete, in my opinion, is that from the old wood fired bakery in Georgioupolis. I happened to call by as they were firing up for a fresh batch of bread I bought a hot loaf just out of the oven. The Georgioupolis bread is famous all over Greece and is taken to Athens. It has very good keeping qualities. Greek people from all over the island come to get bread here and is is expected for locals to take a few loaves if they are visiting other areas. Some paximadi too ( twice baked hard rusk) Andonis mopping out the hot oven with a damp cloth. Work continues in the square Paving is beginning to be laid There are ramps for access on each side of the square Meanwhile, down on the seafront…..
