Today in Greece it's Holy Monday
The beginning of Holy Week leading up to Easter Sunday. It's a week of strict fasting for most. Like many K will eat no meat, fish, eggs, dairy. 40 days fasting is a bit difficult but they're keep the tradition for these last few days.
Saturday past was Saturday of Lazaros and of course yesterday it was Palm Sunday.
The countdown to roast lamb has begun.
Meantime........ I enjoy coffee and cream
And a daily walk along our rural roads. Poros is filling up with people and cars. I can see the difference up here. Visitor's car crawl past looking at the scenery where before I could walk and see no-one
Walking through spring roads
A wild fig tree has sprung up on the side of the road
A sign showing Poros walking trails around here. Rocks are painted with red and white marking the way
The trails up here are quite rough. Not for me even with trekking sticks.
The hillside is painted yellow
From afar it looks like gorse
Even the rubbish looks pretty
As I approach the rubbish bins a dozen cats catapult out of them

I'm getting K into action 'threatening' him with 'what will my brothers think if they see this.' We might get a small clean up done for the kiwi globetrotters..... And the aussies. Most Important People 😊😊
DeleteThe yellow Poros hills looks like our landscape at the noment with Furze in flower everywhere.
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely, from afar!
DeleteThe grass verges look lovely with those splashes of bright colour. Do you have bees too?
ReplyDeleteNot as many bees as there used to be. Alas
DeleteThe colours are jewel-like. Happy Easter when it finally arrives
ReplyDeleteThank you. That's the greeting everywhere now!
DeleteOn the sides of the roads I see red poppies and yellow chrysanthemums, just like here at this time.
ReplyDeleteIt's a colourful time of the year
DeleteIt's a lovely, promising time of the year.
ReplyDeletePromising another very hot summer. Growth is tremendous now. It's a miracle how everything dries up and then grows back again
DeleteI'm feeling like that guy in your last picture today. 😎
ReplyDeleteIt's the best time of year. Everything is 'greening' here too; even our Fig trees have tiny leaves.
ReplyDeleteOur fig trees have buds now. The grape vine is sprouting leaves all over the place and the roses look very healthy. Its wonderful
