To think we were within 2 days' decision of going home, mum having booked shippers for June, when I saw this
beautiful villa to negotiate with its owner, just 250 Euros per month rent. That is about the same in Pounds Sterling and approximately half more for US
Dollars. Naturally I jumped at the chance for having recently got funds after selling my villa in Emboreios, my family and I decided to take another stab at
scratching ourselves a living and seeing how things pan out in six month's time.
What attracted me was the garden and the potential it held ti run a smallholding again because quite close by is lush green pasture for the remnant of Lyra's flock and a large henhouse where Tara keeps her beady-eyed rapacious hens though well away from accessing my kitchen! I promised some photos of my back yard, our favourite patio flowers and front garden, so here they are though how they survived the last 3 days of raging gales is beyond me.

The back yard is stepped of 2,000 square metres of clay but stony soil having olive trees, almonds, figs and somewhere, peach trees though I have yet to find them.

Without his hard work we wouldn't have a garden!

With many thanks to Poppi for the loan of her lovely camera.
