Work today consisted of writing in the morning and painting in the afternoon. Evenings are being used reading. This is modern life at its best. The book about my time in Australia, living among Aboriginal people, traveling with the last remaining boxingtent of Fred Brophy, calling thieves and murderers my friends, it will be available for sale in september. But now looking at Greece, the place where Bruce Chatwin found his last resting place and his mentor, Patrick Leigh Fermor had his house, now part of the Benaki Museum. I am talking about Kardamyli, in the South of the Peloponesos. In October I will give a lecture about my walk in the footsteps of Paddy, walking from the North Sea to the Black Sea. It all comes together in Greece, place of good food, beautiful landscapes, culture and inspiration.
