@goodlifegreece we re still hands on. We came here as immigrants and built various businesses in Athens mostly. And Syros. And we came without capital. Slow growth through hard work and bank borrowing It’s possible
A normal day on our Greek island, alive with meeting and greeting, everyone has time to stop and talk. I start at Spiro s cafe and end up at Petrinos for lunch. Spot the only person using a phone user @untilsundayagency @chiara-aliotta-designer and @spiros_baras
@goodlifegreece I spend a lot of thinking time in the garden or kitchen. Today I m remembering my student activist youth which I’d almost totally forgotten. But it did change me I good ways
Lots of people move to Syros for its beauty and great community and cultural life. But @sharon.zimbabwe tells me there’s more to a mid life renaissance than changing your postal code
I started learning flute when I escaped the old work life, as a protection against brain rot. But it was an exceptional teacher who taught me to fully engage and meet the challenge
@dangbendunn Ben talking to @sharon.zimbabwe curator of exhibition showing at Vati Gallery in Ermoupoli. Open until the 27th September
@goodlifegreece we normally have friends and guests for Sunday lunch. Here s the Ginger&Pear sugarless cake: dry ingredients, 1 cup almond flour, 1 cup oat flour, I tsp baking powder & half bicarbonate soda. Wet ingredients, three eggs, mashed banana, grated ginger and chopped pear poached in 1 spoon honey, tsp vanilla essence and grated skin of lemon. Mix wet and dry seperately. Then gently add together. Should be a soft dropping consistency. Make dryer with more flour or add@milk if too dry. It’s foolproof
@goodlifegreece we spend a lot of time on the beach catching up with friends as well as quiet reading times or to enjoy the sea breeze on a hot day. Ghida chose to celebrate her bday yesterday
