| Introduction | I am an Englishman now living on the beautiful Greek island of Crete. I have almost finished renovating an old house in a small village with great views of the Mediterranean. My neighbours here call me Clivios. I had a design company in England which was successful but very demanding. Now I take whatever comes my way... a more relaxed approach to life here. In addition to my house, I bought a tiny property across the lane which used to be the village 'kafenion' years ago. It needs some work doing to it which I have just started and my plan is to open it as a small 'art school' soon... |
