View author's profile page

Overview

'It's Enough" Simply Symi Island, Greece is a personal memoir relaying how Ros was wrapped in warm Greek hospitality. Typifying a positive Greek lifestyle of love, laughter, sun, swimming, fishing, dancing, fun and freedom, she relished the experience amongst spectacular turquoise water and quaint houses painted in a pastel palette whilst overcoming run-ins with the local constabulary and a diabolical sleep-walking experience. Living a simple life she learnt to accept the Greek Orthodox Church's belief that 'we are simply passing through.'
