Paris
How shall we begin, Paris. Wow, how do you start to talk about a trip to Paris? It’s a hard one because there is so much promise, it’s talked up as the most romantic city in the world, the city of lights, the food capital of the planet, and the thing is, for me it’s […]
A day off; a cockerel, a shotgun and recollections of mama……
September 8, 2010
I went to buy some oranges to juice for the Goddess’ day off as Sunday she closes her little shop and is pampered by yours truly. On the way I bumped into Stavros and asked about his new chicken hut, ten minutess later I was back at the house having one of those strange conversations […]
Ladi a review
July 12, 2010
A new restaurant has opened in Stoupa, it’s called Ladi meaning ‘oil’ in Greek, or should I say ‘olive oil’. I have been planning to get over to see what they are about and yesterday out of the blue we got a lunch invitation, so off we went. As it was last-minute I am afraid […]
Covert Ops Kardamyli
June 24, 2010
There had been a funny vibe around the village the last few days, something was happening, the Kardamyli Welsh have been even more clannish than normal. There is something in the air, there was contained excitment. A deffo buzz, about what? Feelers out : intel in : DOCUMENT INSERT 22/06/10 BRITISH INTELLIGENCE memorandom: For ( […]
Athens
June 15, 2010
Now I have always loved big cities, they seem to have a life of their own, almost like a living organism. Some areas are stronger than others, some weaker, or shall we say ‘poorer’. This does not mean that the poorer areas are less interesting, in fact it can be quite the opposite and areas […]

May 11, 2010
Please read, a small interlude with some wiseguys in New York, first ( in older posts ) A tiny hill village, Peloponnesus Greece. It was going to be another hot one – 35 and climbing, and it was only 10.30 in the morning. The heat had been in for over a month now and showed […]
Kardamyli
April 30, 2010
It’s here again the start of the tourist season and this is where we will now spend most of our time due to the Goddess having her Bead Shop there, so this is where I will be doing most of my blogging from. How to describe it, well firstly I should tell you that it’s […]
Elizabeth David
April 22, 2010
I am reading, or should I say rereading, French Country Cooking By Elizabeth David it’s a wonderful book, first published in 1951. You would imagine it to be dated but not so, in fact, it feels new and I think that the reason is that it talks to the reader like he/she is a foodie. […]
Venice
April 18, 2010
Venice Off The Beaten Track Last month we looked at Paris, as a short break away weekend, this month we look at another of the world’s great cities, this one’s just over the water. My wife had always wanted to go to Venice, and I had so far refused to take her, sighting stinking canals, […]
Hovingham Mount part one (a gashed eye ball, ‘shroooms and some nurses)
April 13, 2010
This was the address that I lived at as a lad with a bunch of other guys, the numbers kept changing as people came and went but there were usually about 8 of us. Even the first day was a disaster, we all picked our rooms then got started on the cider and beer. One […]
