Coffee with M, who suggests we go back to hers for lunch. And very nice too. Homemade tzatziki and guacamole as well as humus. Next door neighbour has given M homemade olive bread and, as we're finishing, leans over from her balcony with a small plate of glyka, traditional pieces of fruit preserved fruit, the preserving done in a sugar syrup over a period of days. They're sometimes known as spoon fruit because the result is a beautiful but insanely sweet piece of fruit (or fruit peel, or walnut or other nut) suitable for serving to a guest in a teaspoon.

Photo not of our fruit today - but ours just as nice!
