The rest of the walk
The last part of my morning stroll took me down from the main road and along to Agia Triada on the track to Periotisa, although now, it is no longer a track. I’d not been along this way for a while, so was surprised to see the amount of work that had been done. Over the past few months, I’d followed the water channel improvement works at Ag Marina on the way to the Pedi hillside, and see the work done on the main road where it turns off there. I’d also seen the building of the new wall along the main road, and the way the new house near the cantina is coming on and looking very impressive, but I’d not seen this road.
It’s now concrete and flat, wider than it was, but still within the natural boundary, and a new wall is being constructed to guard against the drop on one side. It’s much easier underfoot and wheel, though I liked the rural track that was there before, but the steps that lead from it to my village path are still as rickety and rough. They were also inhabited by wandering goats when I passed, another sight I like to see; farm animals roaming the village and checking out who lives where and what’s not yet been eaten.
Meanwhile, back at home, I’m ploughing on through the first draft of the 7th Clearwater story and am up to 90k words with three chapters still to do before I rewrite and edit. I’m also pleased to report that the Symi books are having something of a revival. Maybe, because people can’t get here, they are bringing Symi into their homes with the ‘as it happened’ accounts contained in Symi 85600 and the others, all listed on the right with a few other ideas for my Symi related reading. So, life trundles on, we have water again, the weather is mainly settling down, and you never know, I may take another early walk soon and come back with more of the same kind of photos.
