It's Thinking Day

Hostesses with the Mostess!

How wonderful it was this morning, to see Clock House Methodist Church full of children and their parents. And what a treat afterwards to be entertained by members of the Brownies, who, together with Brown Owl served tea and home made cakes to the congregation. And what yummy, delicious buns, biscuits and blooming scrumptious sponge cake there was. Every little Brownie made a special effort to make sure everyone got a cup of tea or coffee, and they certainly earned their 'Hostess' badges.



Well done girls!

What sad news today, and I have just found out that Yiorgo's mum passed away last week too. My sincere, heartfelt condolences to the family Kivernatakis.

For Yiorgos R.I.P.

Yiorgos by Jane Sharp

You were in your best light that day
As you posed with the great curly horned ram
Surrounded as you were by all that chinkling
And the silent eclipse of eagles in the eye of Uranus,
With only tall crags and the vee of the gorge
And the hush of the wind as it passed to the sea.

You were for me a valiant cavalier
With that angular stance of a proud Hussar
And I could see you in a braided jileko
With the flash of steel in your cummerbund,
No doubt your boots were handmade
In the mountains.

And later, all those qualities of chivalry blazed
When you shared souvlaki and a glass of beer
With the old priest Nicodemus at Selinary.
We cooled our hands under the fountain flow
Imprinting the ocean with our friendship

Yiorgo the Poet




Yiorgo the Shepherd
Kalo Taxidn my friend!
