April 2014 – When the wine is bitter
https://whenthewineisbitter.wordpress.com/2014/04
When the wine is bitter. Walking and writing and drinking on a Greek island. One night in November. April 5, 2014. April 5, 2014. It’s funny but the other night, for no particular reason, I found myself thinking of the supermarket visit that inspired my post. Olive oil, salty onions, and the most famous man on Tilos.

The cats of Agios Antonios… – When the wine is bitter
https://whenthewineisbitter.wordpress.com/2014/12/29/the-cats-of-agios-antonios
When the wine is bitter. Walking and writing and drinking on a Greek island. The cats of Agios Antonios…. December 29, 2014. December 29, 2014. A bit later, as I cuddled the cats for the last time and said my goodbyes, the screw in my belly tightened. One of the things that most upset me as I looked back at them watching me walk out the door, the familiar puzzled expressions on their little cat faces, was that they had no way of knowing that, this time, I wouldn’t be coming back. Some old stuff of mine.

When the wine is bitter. Walking and writing and drinking on a Greek island. Some old stuff of mine. November 12, 2014. November 12, 2014. In light of the fact that I don’t seem to be producing much these days, last night the lovely Jennifer and I put our heads together and, over a good deal of cheap red wine, set about tracking down some old travel pieces of mine published over the years by the good folk at. But which I no longer seem able to find. Pericles is explaining the word. My girlfriend Jo and I...

Ian Smith – When the wine is bitter
https://whenthewineisbitter.wordpress.com/author/twodogs25-2
When the wine is bitter. Walking and writing and drinking on a Greek island. With a Song in My Heart. March 17, 2016. March 17, 2016. I paused and watched as the bike came into view around a bend in the road. Seated upon it I recognised Vince, the young and obliging Bulgarian stepson of Pantelis from Dream Taverna. He pulled up when he saw me and, a broad grin splitting his fresh-featured face, asked in a husky voice, ‘. Where are you going? I replied. To the village. Ela, na se paro,’ he said. Then, the...

https://whenthewineisbitter.wordpress.com/2014/06/22/one-day-out-walking
When the wine is bitter. Walking and writing and drinking on a Greek island. One day out walking…. June 22, 2014. Narrowing my eyes, I focused my gaze. Could it be a scuba diver, I wondered, though even as the thought entered my head I knew it couldn’t be right. For one thing the creature in the water was obviously too large and aquiline to be human. The Island protests: Easter, 2007, a brief report. 2 thoughts on “ One day out walking….
