Hello Claire, just a brief note to tell you that I am enjoying your posts about life in Lesvos. I lived in Athens with my then, husband, in the mid-80’s; I fell in love with the country, and it’s crafts, and learned how to weave.
I retired several years ago, and very recently I lost by beloved 18 year old cat, Misha. He grounded me for these many years, but I now find myself longing for, perhaps, a final adventure. Would you have some wisdom to pass along about a move to Lesvos? I have adequate finances to rent a small place, and I speak some rather creaky Greek!
Just in passing, I purchased your book, Sensual Living, back in 1998 when it was published by Conran Octopus – now, does that show like souls?
I hope this does not seem too presumptuous of me, but if we don’t try things in life, how do we progress?
I look forward to your new book!
Very best wishes,
Susan Kallenbach (I live in California)
Hi Susan,
Thank you for letting me know that you are enjoying my blog. It gives me huge pleasure posting and even greater getting feedback that’s so positive.
Great to hear about Sensual Living too!
I am sorry to hear about Misha, you must be heart broken. These animals are such special friends and leave a big hole when they depart. I’m sure she had a great life with you.
I am a great believer in change and letting yourself be lead into the unknown by your dreams. I’d say go for it. Take a trip and see how you feel. There is no right or wrong way of approaching something you want to do. Lesvos is beautiful but there are also other beautiful places in Greece. I say take a trip give yourself time and when you feel you’ve found your spot stop for a while.
Hope that helps and I wish you much fun along the way. Let me know where you end up.
