Da – Half-a dawn

2003: Of all the gin joints places in all the world that we had ever visited together, Skopelos was the only one we both agreed was sufficiently lovely to relocate to. To make absolutely certain, we spent 8 winter weeks there getting to know it better without sunshine, beaches, restaurants or cicadas. It was still perfect. We found a plot of land we could agree on, put a deposit on it, designed a house for us and a cottage to rent out, applied for planning permission and returned home to work to fund it.
