Yes it is,indeed. Gillian so happens to live in Arfara, a town about 15 km south of Meligalas; saw her for a brief ten minutes last weekend on our way back from a lovely drive through the mountains....which means, Tom, that both of us are quite far away from the asphalt jungle, living as we do in the boondocks. Living here does have its drawbacks but they pale in comparison to life in the city.
Having lived the greater part of my life in small towns, I'll have to agree with your bleak opinion about cities--it's not worth sacrificing a life of rusticity for a death in the bleak houses of urbanity.
And a glorious day, Vassilis.
ReplyDeleteToday by chance, I discovered you are also a friend of my friend, Gillian Bouras, Australian by birth but living in Greece.
What a wonderfully small world.
The warmth of the space can be felt from a world away.
ReplyDeleteMust be the colours. Reds, browns.
Miles and miles, the further away from all these doomed grey concrete cities the better.

ReplyDeleteGood for you, my friend.
ReplyDeleteAs far as I'm concerned, the city is one big drawback. A place good for absolutely nothing. Even or perhaps especially for living... or dying.
