“we came across a lone poppy and I said: ‘that’s how so many of us have felt during the past three years.’ Then we saw a few more poppies, and Dimitris said: ‘look, there are other poppies calling out’.”
Beautiful read Abi. Many years ago I lived on the island of Rhodes, this took me back to all the wonderful things Greece has to offer away from the main tourist haunts.

This almost brings me to tears Abi.
God love you.
Utterly wonderful, what a journey, the photos of the lone poppy.... just wow!😢😢
The lovely people you met, I believe you were meant to.

You are born writer Abi. This is beautifully written and so full of life. Very moving.
A beautiful journey so vividly written I journeyed with you too, there is something about the Greek people that make you feel like family.
