Yanni and Katina

Yanni and Katina Feros on their 3-wheeled jalopy during the mid-1980s. They were a lovely couple, full of energy and life.

Anitsa Protopsaltis (Tsagarominas)

Anitsa lived across the road from us when I stayed at our family home in Mitata, and was invariably watering her wonderful garden when I passed. Generous to a fault, her smiling face made every cloud disappear.

Ireni Samios

Ireni (pictured here) and her sister Maria were wonderful women.

Here she is, walking majestically back along the cemetry road towards Mitata.
