Finally I now that I am in Rome I get to tell you a little about my time in Greece. Here is Geoffrey, Lord of the Manor, in front of his four roomed half house. It is at the very left hand edge of this village, which is half way up the mountain side looking out over Molyvos (Mithimna) and out to sea.
Below is sunrise in the area -


This is sunset.

None of these pictures does the area justice. The beauty of the area is a continuing source of delight to Geoffrey.
The picture below is going up to the church in Petra, where we went for Sunday Eucharist. Steps, steps and more steps are just part of the way of life. Needless to say I saw no gyms in the area - what would they need them for. What amazed me was how the elderly went up and down these steps with relative ease - the woman on the edge of this photo was not young.
Time is short but I did want to get something posted - next blog will be the sheep of Lesvos each with a birth certificate and the formidable Greek Ferry service.
