 Welcome to our website
WE are two British journalists - Marjory McGinn and Jim Bruce - who, after many years working in newspapers and charting other people's great adventures in life, are seeking one big, fat one of our own. We have left a sleepy village in Scotland and have relocated to Greece, a country and lifestyle for which we've both had a long fascination.
 
However, life won't be all sun, sea and souvlaki. While we're living in the remote and lovely Mani region of the southern Peloponnese, we will be writing features for British and Australian publications with an emphasis on travel, property, other expats' experiences, and quirky tales of Greece. For commissions, please contact us.
 
We are also writing a blog (see panel left for link) of our experiences of living in Greece, especially with our manic Jack Russell dog called Wallace in tow, who likes a beach, fears nothing and has only one default position - he leaps at life, always. We could do worse than follow his example.

When you set out on the voyage to Ithaka
Pray that the way be long
Full of adventures and experiences
The Laistrygonians, and the Kyklopes,
Angry Poseidon - don't be afraid of them
 
From Ithaka, by Greek poet CP Kavafis
