The last red leaf
December January February parents or predators? Sibling Rivalry. Only one made it. March The Indian Almond trees sprout green leaves, white flowers and sweet young green almonds. Last red leaf, first green Alexandrine parrot. The early bird gets the first almond. Ready for the monsoons
The Monastiraki Flea Market
To make the perfect Sunday, have a slow breakfast of Greek yoghurt so thick you can slice it tomatoes from Crete honey from Santorini creamy eggs laid by happy Greek hens bacon! Greek cheese pastries a double espresso AND a moccacino. Then stroll down to the square and feast your eyes on the STUFF and the interesting people ogling it. Resist the temptation to buy anything, and don't give the gypsy children playing the accordion any money. Take stealth photos. Then grab a seat at the street cafe, order a Greek coffee thick and sweet and watch the sun set over the Acropolis.
