This is the house where Avyi was brought up by her grandmother. Avyi is one of 5 sisters, the youngest of which had to be brought up by an adoptive mother, as her mother couldn’t afford to feed her. Difficult times. It’s now a storeroom, but Avyi has lovingly painted flowers on every interior wall, and decorated the outside in her own simple style, using leftover paint foubd discarded in the rubbish bins by the side of the road. Real flowering plants adorn the garden, all planted in an assortment of containers in the typically Greek way.
Μ’αρεσε την κληματαριά που αγκαλιάζει το σπιτάκι της γιαγιάς της Αυγής. Το απογευματινό φως, επίσης, μου τράβηξε το μάτι. Είναι εδώ που μεγάλωσε η Αυγή, στο σπίτι της γιαγιάς της, το οποίο τώρα, χρησιμοποιείται σαν αποθήκη.
