I’m so glad that you have been enjoying the photographs of the house. It has been ‘improved’, and may have lost some of its character, but that was entirely necessary, to make it into the functional building that Paddy envisaged. The Benaki supported by the funding of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation have done a great job.
Michael Torrens, whose photographs I used before, has provided a few more for us to enjoy over the weekend. Thank you Michael.

Patrick Leigh Fermor 
Yes, I have been enjoying the photos of the Leigh Fermor house. This morning I came across my own photocopies taken some years ago when I was looking for ideas and inspiration for rebuilding my own cottage that was condemned for demolition after the February 2011 earthquake in Lyttelton, New Zealand.
I shall have to visit the Mani some day!
