Things can only get feta - new book on Greece
The world is full of coincidences and my life is full of them. There are a number of serendipitous moments connected with my Big Fat Greek Gap Year. Coming across the journalist Marjory McGinn is one of them. We have a number of things in common, not least of which is a love of all things Greek. And both of us have actually taken the plunge and moved here for a year. In Marjory's case, she and her partner, Jim, planned on staying in the Peloponnese for twelve months, taking their crazy dog, Wallace, along for the ride. They ended up living there for three years. She's just brought out a book, Things Can Only Get Feta , about the first year living in a rural village in the Mani. It is available now on Kindle and will be out in a paperback version later this month. In an interview for this blog, she shares the highs and lows of her Greek odyssey.
