Hi Yvonne
I’m trying to find a beautiful venue to make a collection of quarter life-size figurative pieces. Would your place be suitable/available or do you know of anywhere else on the island that might be?
Best wishes
Geoff
Hello Geoff! I’ve sent you an email…..
Dear Yvonne, it looks as if I’ll be coming with a girlfriend in June… I hope you will be there! and can’t wait to meet you !
much love Anna X
(hopefully staying with Despina, although I need to confirm this with her)
Hello Anna! I’m not sure if I will be here then as I plan to return to UK in June – but I hope I am – I would very much like to meet you too! Yxx
I don’t know if you got my message, but I’ll leave my e mail address again. Ann
So Sorry Ann, I’m bewildered… – I’ve just sent you an email…
Hi there,
I wanted to see if you’re currently accepting guest posts on your blog. I have a few ideas I’d like to run by you in the event you are accepting them to see if you think they’d be a good fit for your audience. If not, well no worries
Please let me know when you have a moment.
Thanks!
Sam
Hi Sam, Thanks for getting in touch. It’s something I’ve never considered but sounds intriguing – tell me more!
I love your site Yvonne. I came across it when I googled Dennis Henshaw. I am writing my ‘autobiography’ – not for publication but at the request of my daughters who tell me that children never listen to their parents stories but only those their grandparents tell but since they died tragically young before my daughters were born the story has to be told by me.
We used to live in Athens (66-74) and holidayed on Skiathos from 1970. My brother and I have wonderful memories of holiday in Villa Rigas, Villa Tzaneria, Villa Anatalia(?) close to Rigas. Memories of Ronnie and his water ski school of the Buchanan-Dunlops and the Kommonthouros’ of Harold Evans and Tina Brewer of Dennis Henshaw, his daughter and her many friends. By coincidence my brother just tjis last weekend set up a viewing of my father’s cine films several of which were taken on Skiathos, Kanapitsa in 1973 and 1974. It was wonderful for our children to see moving images of the granparents they never knew!
I would like to copy or lift some small details you have about the development of Kalamaki and would like your permission to do so.
Well done keep up the good work.
Sincerely, Jane
Thank you so much, Jane – I have sent you an email – hope you got it!
thank you for following my blog, calliope.wordpress.com, it is just a WordPress theme that i made, i hope that you like it
Very much – Thank you!
Dear Yvonne!
Another thing… As a single girl, do you think that sunbathing on the beaches will be very stressful? What is your experience with this? Also, are there many tourists in June? I am more into nature meditation and love silence… Sorry all these fears/questions! Thank you,
Anna
ps. one of my dreams is to work with goats in greece and washing laundry in the wind! Since this is the year of fulfilling my dreams, do you think this might be possible?!
Thank you so so much for your help. Anna X
Thank you, Erin! Yes!! Come! There’s plenty of accommodation – you’d LOVE it – and I’d LOVE having you here!
Dear Yvonne,
My name is Anna and I am a fledgling artist/photographer (and psychologist!) from London, UK. I am toying with the idea of spending a month or so in Greece this summer… It would be so helpful to know of any basic apartments that could withstand the odd splash of paint and that were near a photograph developer? HAve you any thoughts on this? Obviously to be cheap and near some creative friendly people would be a bonus!
BEst and thank you for your time,
Anna
Hi Anna, Thanks for getting in touch.
I really don’t know where to begin re accommodation – there is so much on the island that would be suitable. In my area alone (see http://paintingskiathos.wordpress.com/about-2/facilities-accommodation/) there are plenty of options but if you need a photographic studio then perhaps somewhere in town would be better. Check out Pomegranate house (http://www.holidaylettings.co.uk/rentals/skiathos/154571) owned by a fellow artist, Despina would make you very welcome. Wherever you decide you’ll be guaranteed a wonderful inspirational time! And if I’m there – I’d love to meet you! Y xx
