It’s not the clearest or best quality photo but mostly I took it to figure out what I was looking at out in the distance on the sea, towards the Island of Kea. I had been looking out when I spotted what appeared to be an odd-shaped craft that had me curious. My cheap binoculars […]

Artichokes are something I didn’t know much about until last year – although I’ve seen them for sale in grocery stores back in North America, I had no clue that they were produced from a big plant that is actually a thistle. When I moved into this house a year and a half ago, the

It has been a very cool May in these parts; normally I’d be wearing shorts and short sleeves by at least the second week of the month. This year however, we have continued to see night time temperatures down to as low as 10C, with day time highs rarely getting above 22. The past few

I find it humorous and at times, a bit frustrating when communicating with others about the history of Ireland.

It’s not a great photo, but the best I could do at the time. We had arrived in Exarchos the evening before, and on Friday, decided to head out of the village to check on the olive grove and see how things were there at the end of February. While driving along the road, I

They have been through so much: Gale force winds, snow, ice pellets, a few nights of below freezing temperatures. Yet these tomato plants keep living and growing! Back in August, I was looking at the average temperatures for the coming months in my area and was curious if I could sew some tomato seeds at

The Wine And Garlic Steamed Mussels are truly to die for! And if you end up at The Port (Το Λιμανι), a “small plates” seafood restaurant in Lavrio, you’ll definitely want to order these tasty mussels. The problem is, there are also so many other yummy things on their menu, you might be tempted to

“I’ve had a few good hamburgers here in Greece, but mostly they have not been that great – the one I enjoyed here was perhaps the best so far in Greece!” We had to make a run to Lavrio for more propane for our Provence gas heater and decided that we’d grab a bite to
