The economy in Greece may not be growing too well at the moment but the grass certainly is! Having just spent two days mowing and strimming it seems to lay down flat when I approach and jump up again when I turn my back.
Now there is an upside to this. Horta is free, snails abound and the veg grows much faster than in the UK.
Now talking of food, why is fish so expensive? Not just here in Greece but in many European countries..................

Fish is expensive because everything that is becoming scarce is expensive..there`s hardly any fish left in the med, the cod stocks are more or less exhausted elsewhere, wild salmon are being affected by diseases and genetic probs in the farmed varieties.. farming carnivorous fish is very expensive as they need meat or fish to eat...why not eat koi? they onloy cost about 1,000 pounds each??? talking of which, the largest silver carp EVER found and recorded was recently caught in Lake Volvi.. and eaten ..no trace of it remains...even though, according to experts, these fish can actually be poisonous, according to the state of teh algae in the lake water..but..with fish prices so high, you just risk it, it seems...Penny
