Thanks - I have already looked at your island photos and I like the way you an relate with the locals, without being patronising. People forget that the most ignorant man, woman or child in the world knows something that only they know.

My father was from Cyprus and when there he would go to a village and sit in a coffee shop and strike up conversations. He did not mind the conversation being about their local worries, like, my goat is not giving me enough milk but it is not old, what should I do? I learnt from dad and did the same and met some of the most delightful people. I do not doubt that if I stayed in the village for a few years I would get to know them well enough not to find them so delightful. I think of it as a sad comment on the way we are programmed by our natures.

I believe you are working hard, landscaping for a client. That is good, as it means you are able to find work doing what you love.

I am glad to have met you and your fiance and I hope we manage to communicate from time to time.

Regards
