Paxos: Manessatika and Yeovil, What's the Link?


The derelict engine
Imported from England,
Made by Petters of Yeovil,
Once powered the village olive press,
Faithfully turned
The grinding stone
Up in Manessatika.
Stamatis wants to sell it now,
His precious but rusting antique,
"From the time of Capodistrias!"


(From Corfu Blues, the book. Written many years ago)
