Ένα χαλαρό καλοκαιρινό σκηνικό σε μια αυλή γεμάτη πράσινο, όπου το φως φιλτράρεται μέσα από τα δέντρα. Στο τραπέζι, ένα δροσερό ποτήρι λευκό κρασί συνοδεύει απλά αλλά γευστικά μεζεδάκια: ζουμερά ντοματίνια, ελιές, τυρί και παξιμάδι. Μια στιγμή ηρεμίας και απόλαυσης, που μυρίζει Κρήτη και ανεμελιά.

The least enjoyable chores are always left for last, but when you do them, you see immediate results.
