Simple Pleasures

It is another sizzling hot day on Symi. With temperatures still in the forties and hovering around thirty degrees at midnight everyone is feeling a little frayed around the edges. The long range forecast promises a hesitant cloud on Sunday but that may just be someone who is fed up with pasting little sunshine icons. The whole of Greece is roasting in the summer sun.





Meanwhile, in my little corner of the Pedi valley we have one of the best tomato crops in years. And 100% organic too! On a hot summer evening when the cicadas are chirruping away in the almond trees and the citrus scent of warm lemon leaves fills the air, there is nothing better than an uncomplicated supper of a bowl of freshly picked tomatoes, a handful of pungent basil, a chunk of feta cheese and a loaf of crusty bread. Life on Symi in the summer is one of simple pleasures and dining out in the garden is one of them.
