Oddly, we were just to the opening exhibition on N. Gkikas, J. Craxton and P. Leigh-Fermor at the Benaki Museum and many of the paintings by Gkikas and Craxton are of Hydra – most in the cubist style. The three men were long-time friends and spent a lot of creative time on the island. Made me long to go there. Looks like a fabulous and interesting island.
What a coincidence! We’ve taken several day trips to Hydra and spent a long weekend there many years ago. It’s one of my favorite islands, though I seem to say that about all of them. Looking at past photos of Hydra makes me long to go back.

Ohh, have a look, next to “biiig” there is a heart, maybe it doesn’t display? A big heart for this dog. And I said biiiig to emphasise that. 🙂

Ok. I see the heart on the blog post. It didn’t show up on the comment approval feed. Mystery solved. Thanks for the sweet comment!
