Back in England! The homesick snowman.


It's not as cold as I expected, down 'yere in Darrzet. In fact it's a lovely, sunny day, and the temperature is much more agreeable than it has been in Greece recently. My brother tells me that today is the first decent summer's day. I had a fabulous swim at Bowleaze Cove, Weymouth, and a pint of bitter at The Smugglers, Osmington Mills.

The photo reminds me of a song I once wrote when on a World Bank consultancy assignment in Northern Nigeria, circa 1978. It was a Mass Communication Feasibility Study, I seem to remember. Here are a few verses:

Trying to keep cool in Kano


I've got no sense of direction,
I don't know which path I should choose.
I'm just trying to keep cool in Kano;
Last week I had snow on my shoes.


The roads were all blocked by the blizzards,
I half hoped I might miss the flight;
But as soon as I checked in they grabbed me,
They strapped me in for the night.


So I'm back with the dust and the lizards,
Open drains and gastric despair.
Why did I ever leave Dorset,
Green fields and that smell of sea-air?


I'm deep in the North of Nigeria,
The harmattan's blowing today.
They've never seen a homesick snowman,
They won't mind if I just melt away...

Platytera Monastery, Corfu




The monastery where John Capodistrias and Fotos Tzavellas are buried.
I recently discovered that a cousin of an old friend - and koumbaros, the late and much-missed Jimmie Katsaros (Demetrios Katsaros of Sebastopol, California), is a monk at the monastery. His name is Pantelis Tzekos, and he's 85 years old. I plan to look him up when I get back to Corfu.

Here are two old photos of Jimmie:

Η ΓΑΤΑ ΤΟΥ ΠΟΡΤΟΒΕΚΙΟ, I GATA TOU PORTOVEKIO, On sale now

On sale now, in all good bookshops in Corfu (eg PLOUS, APOSTROFOS, MOUSTAKIS etc)- and throughout Greece, the Greek edition (Kedros) of this novel of Corfu life, Η ΓΑΤΑ ΤΟΥ ΠΟΡΤΟΒΕΚΙΟ

Online sales here (www.greekbooks.gr)

I Gata tou Portovekio:

ΠΟΡΤΟΒΕΚΙΟ: ένα πολύβουο, γραφικό ψαροχώρι της Κέρκυρας. Κάθε κάτοικος έχει μια ιστορία να αφηγηθεί και συχνά οι ζωές τους διασταυρώνονται.
Η Ζωή θρηνεί τον νεκρό σύζυγό της και η μικρή Λουίζα τη μητέρα της. Ο παπά-Αντώνης συνωμοτεί και ραδιουργεί. Νεαροί εραστές συναντώνται κρυφά. Η Χαρά είναι μια σκληραγωγημένη ανεξάρτητη γυναίκα κι ο άντρας της, ο Σπύρος, είναι ο ομορφότερος άντρας του χωριού.
Ανάμεσά τους κινείται και η Μαμή, η γάτα του Πορτοβέκιο, όμορφη και πονηρή, προκαλώντας αισθήματα αγάπης αλλά  και απέχθειας στους κατοίκους του χωριού. Ψάχνει για τροφή καθώς η μυρωδιά από τις κουζίνες των σπιτιών αναδίδεται στον αέρα. Οι αναγνώστες μοιράζονται με τους ήρωες του βιβλίου την προετοιμασία των φαγητών. Οι κάτοικοι του Πορτοβέκιο απολαμβάνουν ψητό ψάρι, μαγειρίτσα και φρέσκα, καλοκαιρινά λαχανικά με σάλτσα ντομάτας. Δοκιμάζουν χταπόδι ξιδάτο, ψητό σκαθάρι και χοντρό λευκαδίτικο σαλάμι, το λευκό λίπος του οποίου προβάλλει μέσα από το πορφυρό κρέας κάνοντάς το να μοιάζει με εκτυφλωτικό διάστικτο μάρμαρο. Οι μεγαλύτερες κοινωνικές εκδηλώσεις τους – ο εορτασμός των Χριστουγέννων και του Πάσχα, οι ονομαστικές γιορτές, τα γενέθλια, οι γάμοι – γίνονται αφορμή για πρωτότυπες γαστρονομικές απολαύσεις.

Ένα μυθιστόρημα με νοσταλγικό άρωμα
από τη νησιωτική Ελλάδα της δεκαετίας του ’50.

Η ΜΑΡΙΑ ΣΤΡΑΝΗ - ΠΟΤΣ γεννήθηκε στην Κέρκυρα το 1946. Αποφοίτησε από τη Σχολή Σλαβικών και Ανατολικοευρωπαϊκών σπουδών του Πανεπιστημίου του Λονδίνου. Από το 1969 ταξίδεψε πολύ με το σύζυγό της, ο οποίος εργαζόταν για το Βρετανικό Συμβούλιο. Έζησε στην Αιθιοπία, στην Κένυα, στην Αγγλία, στην Ελλάδα, στην Τσεχοσλοβακία, στη Σουηδία και στην Αυστραλία, όπου πέρασε εφτά χρόνια με έδρα το Σίδνεϊ.
Η Μαρία Στράνη-Ποτς ζει σήμερα μεταξύ Κέρκυρας και Λονδίνου.

Enjoyable evening. Great venue. A tight sound, a talented group, but more jazz-pop-funk than rhythm 'n' blues, by my definition.

Statement by EU (Eurozone) Heads of State

Here is the statement

NB Para 2:


"We will monitor very closely the strict implementation of the programme based on the regular assessment by the Commission in liaison with the ECB and the IMF."


Para 4:
(30 years late? see my posting on the Greek economy before EU accession)

"Member States and the Commission will immediately mobilize all resources necessary in order to provide exceptional technical assistance to help Greece implement its reforms. The Commission will report on progress in this respect in October."  



And a nice comment from Keep Talking Greece:


"From what we heard so far, one thing is clear: Greeks will remain economic hostages for the next 40 years. That means, I have plenty of time to keep feeding this blog. Therefore I’m off for a long weekend. The same I wish to you: Time for a nice and news-free Break."

Henry Callander with Eleanor, Countess of Suffolk










Arthur Coventry was born in Melton Mowbray in 1852. He was the son of the Hon. Henry Amelius Coventry, of Coventry House, Burton End, Melton Mowbray (after his mother died, they moved to Pickwell Manor) and grandson of the eighth Earl of Coventry. He was the youngest brother of Eleanor, Countess of Suffolk. His London residences were at 53a, Pall Mall and at 83 Piccadilly. He was 73 when he died, at The Old Manor, Salisbury, Wilts. He is buried at the Parish Churchyard, Charlton Close.

A few old family documents concerning my grandmother:



Henry Callander (or Henry Burn-Callander; the preferred name is Callander) 
was a descendant of James I and VI of England and Scotland, and of Charles II and Nell Gwyn, of course. See this genealogy,
and Part 13 - which, I note, is incomplete.

Crichton Castle

(from Marmion, Sir Walter Scott)


AT length up that wild dale they wind,
Where Crichtoun Castle crowns the bank;
For there the Lion’s care assigned
A lodging meet for Marmion’s rank.
That Castle rises on the steep
Of the green vale of Tyne:
And far beneath, where slow they creep
From pool to eddy, dark and deep,
Where alders moist and willows weep,
You hear her streams repine.
The towers in different ages rose;
Their various architecture shows
The builders’ various hands;
A mighty mass, that could oppose,
When deadliest hatred fired its foes,
The vengeful Douglas bands.

Crichtoun! though now thy miry court,
But pens the lazy steer and sheep,
Thy turrets rude, and tottered Keep,
Have been the minstrel’s loved resort.
Oft have I traced, within thy fort,
Of mouldering shields the mystic sense,
Scutcheons of honor or pretence,
Quartered in old armorial sort,
Remains of rude magnificence.
Nor wholly yet had time defaced
Thy lordly gallery fair;
Nor yet the stony cord unbraced,
Whose twisted notes, with roses laced,
Adorn thy ruined stair.
Still rises unimpaired, below,
The courtyard’s graceful portico;
Above its cornice, row and row
Of fair hewn facets richly show
Their pointed diamond form,
Though there but houseless cattle go,
To shield them from the storm.
And, shuddering, still may we explore,
Where oft whilom were captives pent,
The darkness of thy Massy More;
Or, from thy grass-grown battlement,
May trace, in undulating line,
The sluggish mazes of the Tyne.

Update, June 2014; Just Published:






From History of Parliament: CALLANDER, Alexander (1741-92), of Crichton and Preston Hall, Edinburgh and Elphinstone, Haddington - "Callander was an applicant for a writership in 1758, and spent the next 25 years in the East India Company service in Bombay. He evidently prospered: on his return home he bought extensive landed property in the shires of Edinburgh and Haddington and in 1789 Lawrence Hill reckoned him to be worth £6,000 a year. He invested in East India Company stock".
