A sorta-biography following the whys and wherefores of two English townies slowly finding themselves wooed by more and more remote Greece.

Packed with strange adventures and encounters, and eccentric characters (not least the two main subjects). Inspiring and daunting reading for anyone thinking of moving abroad.
