Sunday 20 November 2011
On the principle that someone you need to see will sooner or later turn up in your life, I was unsurprised to bump into Vasillis of Lefkas Property and Development, the land agent who sold us the land, as I wanted to ask him about our disputed boundaries at the NE corner.
He is naturally curious, likes to know what everyone is up to, and was very happy to suggest coming over. He turned up Sunday lunchtime, and we showed him the disputed area. He agreed that our plans showed the area to be ours, but said that the surveyor probably just guessed (prompted by the owner who would want to maximise the square metres), as the previous-previous owner had said to him, Vasillis, that the land ended at the patch of scrubby woodland. But all agree that the four olive trees are ours.
After this, we met up with Rob and walked to Nydri’s grand football stadium, up near the waterfalls, having decided to show solidarity with the locals and support the team – which is apparently doing very well in its league.
Nice to find a stadium nestled in the olive groves with a background of hills. The game was good, although the local fans were a bit over-enthusiastic, with a small group drumming and setting off flares – I suppose they don’t have much else to get excited about. Nydri 1 – 0 Trikala.
