Home is where the heart is, & I lost my heart to Greece in general, and Skiathos in particular, many years ago. When I first set foot on Skiathos, I knew nobody & didn’t speak a word of Greek, but after one summer there, my heart was stolen! “Lucky to be Here” is the story of that journey from 1971 until 2019, when I published the book.
“Tsipouro Tales” is, in some way, a follow up to “Lucky to be Here”, but it is more of a compliment to it. It is about Greek culture, in particular the culture of drinking tsipouro & eating small snacks, which was revived in Central Greece some 30 years ago. It is about what is central to Greek life: good food, good drink, & (above all) good company. The “Tales” are the stories that are told around the taverna table whilst consuming tsipouro.
“Travellers Tales” takes us on the journey around the world that Lida and I took in 2016, and the follow up to it India in 2018. Our trip started in Skiathos, then Athens, London, San Francisco, Hawaii, NZ ,OZ, Malaysia, London, Bath, Athens, and finally Skiathos again.
The “World Trip” was to see and stay with friends that we had made in Skiathos, but who had subsequently left.
