Footnote

A few weeks ago I was in Greece and visited the brother of my late husband.
He lives half way up Hymettus, just where the paved road ends and the
phrygana begins.

Presently he has no job, but is coping by calling on the traditional
survival skills of his origins in Thessaly.

He has a few chickens, has planted melitzanes, peppers,tomatoes and other
crops in  the garden, and now has two goats providing milk, and from which
his wife makes delicious fresh cheese.

Just another example the resilience of Greeks and how - as they have since
ancient times - they cope with austere  circumstances.
