Hi all
We know it has been a while since the last update, we now have some news to publish as well as some pictures.
The build has not progressed as before i.e. we had to wait for the plumber a number of weeks now but, finally, he started work on Monday just gone and looks to be getting on with the job. All the plastering has finished, the electrician has finished (needs to do the second fix, should not take long) and the rails on the veranda are installed (our own design and we are very pleased with the result). As soon as the plumber finishes, the floor (indoor/outdoor) and wall tiles (bathrooms) will start. The marble stairs to the side walk and the veranda are ready for fixing as well as the front stairs.
Well, the build now looks and feels like home. We had our first meal on the veranda the other night i.e. ouzo and meze.
We have now ordered all the furniture. The electrics with the eight speaker system wires are already laid under floor, I am well pleased.
On the shooting front, ten days ago I won the GOLD Medal at the Greek Open in Athens, clear by three targets, pointless to say that I was very pleased because I have not done any shooting for the past nine years.
October the 18th today, just come back from the beach and still the blue skies and 30 degrees. The tourists disappeared the beginning of September and the long sandy beaches are empty. In a 2 mile long beach (our favourite) there were today 6/7 people and the whole of the Med in front of us. Just beautiful.
We are getting ready for our first olive harvest which should start in November. We have bought several bits and pieces that we shall need like a chain saw, nets, rakes and a trailer for taking the sacks of olives to the press. We are also getting some stainless steel containers for the storage of oil, place your orders now, for virgin olive oil. lol
We are very well, we hope you are all very well.
Love to all,
Petros and Sandra
