It is winter and time flow slowly.

Stefanos chops down  burned pine trees, is  building  a new henhouse, repairs the damaged storage areas, runs to meetings and consultations.

Here he represents the Agricultural Cooperative of Rovies at  1: 37: 17 speaking Greek.

And here you can hear him in English phrasing his opinion.

I, on the other hand, am fighting against bureaucracy to get licenses to rebuild,

I am weaving to relax,

and… closing the childhood period of my life, taking the place of the adult now that both my parents passed away, just 7 months apart from each other.

Snow came and went and now on our walks we see blooming flowers. We hear redheads and blackbirds. Above our head fly the two hawks that remained here, despite the destruction of the forest.

Slowly but steadily nature is being reborn here.

Support for our local community comes with articles like this 52 Places for Travelers to Visit in 2022 - The New York Times

Support also comes with actions such as:

• From the environmental organization “we4all” with  donor  the RODOPI dairy industry we are getting 300 plants and together with volunteers we will plant them on the hill of our estate that borders the village on Saturtay the 26th of Feb. 2022.It is an effort to protect the slope and to start beautifying the view for those who live in Rovies.

Dear guests, you are responsible travelers.

You support the local market , you seek to meet the locals, you prefer to disconnect from the online world during your vacation and connect more with the real world. You are looking for well-being and mental health.

Close your eyes. Take your time and breathe slowly. The minutes that tick by will feel a little longer. Open our eyes a little wider. Listen to every sound, notice the smells. Slow down.
