Ged snaps his G string!

Yesterday we had good friends Ged and Julie, founders of "Sara's Hope Foundation" and some of their friends to join us for a meal. we were particularly pleased to meet their visiting family. ( For those of you who do not know, the foundation raises money to bring families of children with cancer for a week long holiday in Crete. For the week they are looked after so that they can spend quality time together For more information about "Sara's Hope foundation" please look here.


First everyone sat down for a meal. A big variety of dishes, tsatsiki, beetroot salad, cheese pies, mini quiches, fava, salad, tomato fritters, roast chicken, sausages, green beans in tomato sauce, rabbit stifado,  liver casserole, roast potatoes, followed by water melon and cantaloupe melon. All the vegetables and fruit had been picked fresh from the garden.


Several of the guests just "happened" to have their guitars with them. ( One "happened" to have his drums in the boot of his car)


Watch out Carl - Ged's here!





Everyone had a chance to join in!


Then Ged snapped his G string.. disaster!


There just "happened" to be a karaoke machine in the back of the car too and the youngsters took over the entertainment!




Stars in the making



A good time was had by all

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…..
