We’ve lived here for 3 years now and our grasp of the Greek language is coming along, although very slowly. In a taverna or restaurant we can order all of our food and drink in pretty good Greek, even if I do say so myself. It’s once the conversation turns to other aspects of village life that we start to struggle.
It’s a little late today, but last night we need the Greek for (you guessed)……
“Your donkey is eating my vegetables!”
The Moving in Molyvos festival 2012 was held 7-9 June and offered the chance to take part in a fascinating series of workshops in:
There was also a series of complimentary Greek language lessons and special free evening events which everybody was invited to.

Last year I joined fellow villagers and firemen on the hill behind our house. Armed only with a branch from a tree I spent 4 long, hot hours trying to help control a wild fire.
This year we got to 20th of August without a fire. Perhaps the arsonist has gone away?
Tonight at 22:15 the all too familiar smell of burning shook us out of our complacency.
The all too familiar sight and sound of fire trucks rushing to the scene.
So the pattern has started again. 2 fires, always 2 fires.
Please let this person be caught before somebody is hurt (or worse).
If you are about to visit Lesvos, you really should know that this is one hot destination.
Literally that is. We have ‘enjoyed’ temperatures 5° C to 7º C above the average for the past 5 weeks.
While you enjoy your holiday, spare a thought for the local workers who have to cook, clean and look after you. It’s hot outside but even hotter in the kitchen.
Our favourite time is sunrise. It’s cooler and everywhere is quiet and bathed in the most glorious light. It reminds me of one of the many reasons we came to live here. Photographers of the world take note – if you have not visited Lesvos, you are missing the most amazing and inspiring light on earth.
