A month of Sundays 1)

This last month we have had a family celebration on every Saturday or Sunday.  

- A family celebration of good health, the end of a round of hospital visits

- An annual neighbourhood party

-  A name day and a birthday

- A farewell to a ship's captain going back to sea

and

-  A wedding anniversary celebration on a brilliant autumn day. 

Only one of these was held at our place so I was saved a month of cooking and cleaning, although we did cook and carry down some of the food.

1. A wedding anniversary

 Ouzo and beer under the chestnut trees near the Poros Monastery

Peace and quiet except for half a dozen noisy kids and a yapping dog.  

Good healthy beer, and lots of it.  VIOS 5, organic beer made in Athens

We're doing our bit to make Greece great again

A few beers and you're gonna to have to get rid of all that extra liquid.  The toilet here is down the road, up the track covered in autumn leaves.  

Others drank ouzo, from the 2 litre bottle

Very little traffic at this time of the year.  The road ends just round the corner and this big tourist bus had a tight fit and an extremely tight turn.  The visitors couldn't go up and visit the Monastery.  Loukas the monk had closed up for his siesta

Half a dozen bikies roared up and very politely sat in the road so I could take their photo.

Children and dogs played in the road

The food will be on the next post
