Saturday Afternoon

 Part 2

There's a lot of activity up and down our cul de sac today. The dog at the top of the road immediately starts barking when it hears a car or bike and it's taken up by the dogs further down.  All the neighbours far and wide have arrived from Athens for the holiday.

Elli and Luli

First visitors today bringing extra intestines and sheep's stomach.

Soon after they left there was a loud 'yiasas' from our front gate. Our neighbour across the gulley handed a plate of homemade red eggs and koulourakia over the gate. And a beautiful pot of carnations from their garden shop.

She has three children, the youngest is 2, she works at the shop and still has time to bake cookies, dye eggs and deliver them all over the neighbourhood.

Meanwhile

In Jerusalem the Holy Light has been received and is on its way to Greece in the Presidential plane 

This light is flown, speed boated, trotted by donkey and driven to every corner of Greece. At midnight when Christ is Risen, every candle, including ours, will be lit from this flame and carried to every house around the country.
