part ten: paint it white

The Cretans know all about atmosphere. White houses with blue painted doors. Good and simple food with fresh ingredients. Taverns almost located in the waves.

Life is good in the south of Crete. An ideal place to make stools.
I miss the relaxed way of life and the sun and Bobbie. I'm officially homesick.

part nine (actually it is more a relief): Transport on Crete.

Fortunately, the trucker strike ended and there is enough petrol for everyone; for the modern shepherd, the yellow Beach Beetle, the orange Datsun Sunny, the blue oldtimer & -driver the Parks Department and even for Nobody's car.

Beauty comes with age. Beautiful peeling paint. Faded colors. Old wooden doors, not only in blue, but in all kind of colors. I've seen so many potential stool legs...

part five: fresh tasty vegetables

The greek food is simple but very tasty and you really taste the difference. The sun and earth give so much flavor to the vegetables and fruits. Pip discovered that the cucumber had a strange taste. 'Yes, you are absolutely right, it tastes like cucumber'.

Especially when I saw these seeds, I wished I had just a little more space (and Greek sun) in my garden, to grow my own tasty vegetables.

Today is Pippa's birthday!

She is thirteen years old now and has been waiting for this day so long. As promised a long time ago, today is the first 'earring day' of her life and she is shining from ear to ear.

Happy birthday sweet thirteen!
