Hello dear Pooja,

Thanks a lot; I’m really glad you enjoyed the photo-report. I’m always up for some snow, but lately (probably because of the current situation), I’m always looking forward to the summertime. When this thing is over, I’d love to go up north, though, most likely Norway, and see some real snow!

All the best,
George

For me, I feel that snow makes everything look so magical. Even though I hate winters, I am always up for a trip where I might get to see snowfall. The pictures you captured are so gorgeous. Loved going through this photo-report 😉

Hello Christian!

Thank you so much for your kind words. So glad that you enjoyed the photos. Due to the current regulations, it was unfortunately hard to document more of the snowy days. I wish I could visit the city center (or should I say “travel” under the current restrictions?) and take more photos.

Great question about the bitter oranges. Unfortunately, I don’t know if Greece exports them. But what I can tell you is that the Greeks make marmalade out of them. It’s usually homemade, but I’ve also seen it sold in local shops. I’ll ask around, and I will let you know.

I think it’s most important to document these rare moments.
Please tell me, are the Greek bitter oranges being exported? I guess they would be perfect for a fantastic Orange Marmalade?
