General village chitchat
The news so far this week is that Lefteris’ Kafeneion in Horio is due to reopen on Wednesday morning at 11.00. They have been working hard on it over long hours, and from what I’ve seen it’s going to look good but still keep its same friendly atmosphere. Meanwhile, we’ve been having rain and cloud though it’s not too cold as yet.
The roadworks continue as Ote upgrade lines, and the electricity company lay new cables. I did hear that all future cables will be put underground where possible, not an easy task with so many houses and lanes, stonework and non-tarmac roads, but it will be an interesting thing to follow. The road outside our house is coming on slowly. The guys told me the other day that they are going all the way up to the tarmac just past our house, so I expect another couple of weeks to go. I think, right now, it’s a case of rain stopped play so it could take longer if the wet weather persists.
I’ve also added a couple of photos of Agios Athanasios, one of the village parish churches which has been under renovations for the past few years. It looks to be finished now and includes a new restoration of the old icon over the south entrance. So, it’s all go in the village with building and repairing and getting on with winter work. I’m just glad that Sam painted our flat roof as we’ve not had water dripping into the bathroom since and the rain has been heavy at times.
