Lauren and her partner Jake came to stay in our lovely village during a Greek heatwave, luckily for them the village has a different climate to the coast and never get unbearably hot. Here are some works from Lauran about her mural. This is "a typical Cretan snail which creates a path along the wall carrying an "arrow of love". The path has as a motif a decorative outline from the most famous Minoan painting of Knosos, the mural with the Minotaur. " (The typical Crete snail is making a path across the wall carrying a ‘love dart’. The path has a pattern, a decorative border from the most famous Minoan painting of Knossos, the bull-leaping fresco). During their stay Mathew and a friend of his Karina, a Mexican singer who lives in Heraklion, went up to escape the heat with Lauren and Jake. They ended the day with mezes at another village down the road that has spectacular views and and much needed summer breeze.
