Alonissos Honey
Our next-door-neighbour, Dimitri, the island's bee keeper, produces delicious Alonissos honey and sells it from his tiny shop in the village. The island is carpeted with wild flowers in Spring, and so Dimitri's bees make very special Alonissos-tasting honey. This morning, in England, with the rain lashing our windows, I opened a new jar of Dimitri's honey and ate it on my porridge..... and you know what? I could almost feel the sunshine.
