What's New?

On Wednesday I went to a meeting  at Kalyves Town Hall where Mr Koukianakis started his election campaign. The room was full with candidates, from Vamos, Fres and Kalyves, who will be standing for election as councillors or village representatives. Mr Koukianakis spoke about what the opposition had proposed and supported over the last three years and what they want to do in the future. He discussed Agriculture, Tourism, Environment and many other subjects, one of which was supporting the young people in the area. The meeting was very positive and I will be telling all of you more about it very soon!

This morning I went to Chania airport to see my daughter off to the UK. She has won a place at University to study Theatre. She has started to write her own blog about her studies and the events leading up to them. Some of you in Crete will recognize her from the Toneel Drama group productions

Airport


"Mystery Tour"

"Between Mouthfuls"


"Abigail's Party"


Later in the day I met a group of residents from Kokkino Chorio and told them what was happening on the election front and what my own plans were. We discussed the problems they encountered in their village and surrounding area and what positive things they would like to see the next council doing. Currently there is work going on to improve the village square with seating areas and flowerbeds, but there is much more to do!

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…..
