What a day - a few days earlier snow everywhere and cold - yet come Sunday
cloudless and so warm we should all have been in shorts and a Tee shirt !!
And so on this warm day an intrepid group gathered at the CHURCH of PANAGIA
VARABA near SPATA
THe church built 12th C vandalised on that famous day 9th JUNE 1431 was
almost rebuilt during the following 70 years in classical BYZANTINE style with
so many frescos inside
Unfortunately through the passage of time much of the detail on these frescos
has vanished - maybe one w/end the hash could take it upon themselves to
repaint them
Anyway after all suitably spending time inside it was time to set off for both
runners and walkers - both on the same trail quoted our hare FAIR COP
So off we went through lush farm land full of Vineyards , Olive Trees ,
Pistachio Trees , Fig Trees and others to numerous to detail.
Then in site came a family of goats. KUM KWIK drooled at the thought of
having the two baby goats at his EASTER FEAST
And so the two packs progressed - the sun got warmer and warmer - the packs got
hotter and hotter - why are we here - we should all be on the beach MT
GOAT was heard muttering - Am sure CLIT will be on the beach perving at all the
nubile young Greeks HAMISH was heard saying in spite of her having a gigantic
hangover
Meanwhile MAD DOG was in depair trying to keep the packs together
If only OXY was here it would be so much easier keeping control - But alas
there he was just a few Ks away working hard as only he can do dealing
with all the illegal goodies being brought in through the airport
And so back to the CHURCH where the circle was conducted in exemplary fashion
as always
Then off down into MARKOPOLOU to our favourite eatery where we gorged ourselves
on KOKORETSI and many other side dishes with wine and more
wine for 11 euro each
So endith a beaut day - so warm and sunny
FILAKIA to you all DOGGIE STYLE
