PARGA - LEMONS

HELLO FRIENDS

Lemoney Things
View of Parga from St Elanor's Church

I have just got back from one of the most magical places in the world! Parga mainland Greece...it is outstanding.. Parga..... where the sun warms your body and the people warm your heart.... Parga...... where the sun melts your ice cream and the people melt your heart!! I have this thing about lemons, they just smell delicious, the lemon blossom is amazing. I have been doing lemoney things since I got back....pickled lemons, lemon drizzle cake, lemon chicken, lemon sponge and finally with my last few; lemon curd!! My friend Johnny from Johnny's Place in the main town area of Parga (a must for a cheap beer if you go there) gave me a squid shaped lemon, which I have pickled for prosperity! I have written a poem called 'The Lemon Fell' maybe I'll publish it another time! Meanwhile here's a photo from my 'lemon' collection! If you enjoy eating fish Stephano's at the top of the Valtos beach steps will be heaven for you. Stephano and his son Michael go out in their boats overnight catching the dish of the day.... you will not be disappointed. If you like walking I love the wander up to a little village called Anthusa, there is a bar there 'Cafe Neon' owned by Nichos and his wife Jo, he smiles constantly and knows everything and everyone, a true fountain of knowledge, I have nicknamed him the 'Oracle' ! I will go back there next year if possible. I will have to race my new 'neighbour' for the studio. It was amazing, last year we had the same person staying to us as this year, we met at the airport conveyor belt in Preveza!! Anyway whereever you are spending your holidays this summer, I hope you have a fab time. Best Wishes for now xxx
