Well I am back in the valley after a few days hauling myself around the Greek island of Samos. Samos was beautiful but weird and with a very bad atmosphere so it’s a relief to be back in my valley!

A full report on Samos coming up, some lovely pictures some serious moans, in the mean time here’s a picture of valley as I left it early one morning last week, looking mystical and beautiful with the sun rising and the mist lying amongst the orchards.
