To market, to market to buy a.....cooped up chicken? I don't think so.....we'll be looking elsewhere for ours in the Spring. Hopefully some interesting breeds...,
I love Greek Markets for the fruit and vegetables plus all the herbs, shame you can't capture the aromas!
We spent some time (no pun intended!) at the herbs stall and came away with oregano, thyme and a herb mix for meat which smells heavenly and I spent the next hour lifting the carrier bag up to my face to inhale the aromas.....don't care what I looked like! We also bought a string of garlic, quite handy as we're coming to the end of of French garlic purchased in Carentan in September!
The purchases:
View from the coffee shop, iced coffee outside at 26 degrees, just hits the spot!
Looking to my right, sipping coffee and people -watching...a favourite pastime.
And here are the dogs... from back to front: Elsa, Connie and Tilly.
and Bella, totally submissive!
But are there enough olives to pick this year to take up to the olive press?
Had some visitors and they brought this delicious cake a liitle like egg custard with a lemony flavour and lots of syrup.... It's called Galaktompouriko!
and so the day ends, the same view at sunset.
Tomorrow we leave at 08:30 for the 09:00 service at the International Church in Athens
