Mum and Daughter

Most of my regular readers will remember Jessica, the demon huntress. Most will not know her mum Ginger as she is very afraid of people and will not stand still for her photo taking. I took these as they were curled up asleep together because they look so cute......Ginger is on the left and Jessica on the right...

Its Raki time again.....

I got a phone call yesterday morning to say my friend Manthos was going to be making his Raki at the other Raki factory (not the one I photographed last year) and he would like me to take some photos for the Blog. Always ready to oblige I scooted off. The Raki making had already started.....

The finished stuff....warm....tasty...and lethal!
Kath checking they are doing the job right...
Yiannis and Dimitra who run the Raki factory starting to dismantle the still to put more stuff in....

First the pipes come off....
Then the dome....(well I dont know the names, do I?)
The branch is there to stop the grape mulch from floating.
Pushing the used pulp out of the still ready for the next lot..
There it goes...steaming hot....

All used up.....
The next batch waiting to go in...
There it goes....
Yiannis laughing as he spots me taking his picture...
And of course they have to make a party of it....
Michaelis is cooking as Manthos sorts out the meat....
Just one or two people to keep company while the Raki brews...







A really good time was had by all, and it was really good to sit outside in the sun, eat, drink and talk with such interesting company. Thanks everyone.....
