Let's continue our stroll back in time. A small version of a grape press, fancy only having the bunch of grapes hanging there, I would have fancied the bottle of wine. Further round the corner is the stone bowl where in times you would stomp the grapes with your feet. I can imagine the squishy feeling of grapes and seeds between my toes!
                                                           


Here is the still for making Zivania.


Zivania is distilled from selected grapes and is a local Cypriot drink. It is the cure all for everything. for chesty coughs a dose taken and some rubbed into the chest, also rub it in for muscle aches and pains.Don't forget to have that tot as well.  It is an antiseptic etc, a cure all for everything.
A small shot taken ice cold with a dash of orange juice and ice is quite refreshing for the ladies, and the men, well, just swig it back!!

Now this would be a great container for the wine

Still  filling in the scenery as I work down the picture. Waiting for little areas to take their own shape and style. Stand back and you sometimes see a tree or a bush taking shape.

                

Do come back next week.
