Paddy was indeed a youthful 89 years old that day 3rd October 2004 when after some years corresponding with him I first met him in person. He was witty, sharp and genuinely interested in my own travel stories. In 2012 I posted a blog titled An Encounter With Patrick Leigh Fermor. I'm certain that it will interest you and your followers.<br /> http://anencounterwithpatrickleighfermor.blogspot.com.au/Metrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05148045391232890640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-72889506847594608622013-02-03T16:58:20.404-08:002013-02-03T16:58:20.404-08:00Dear Steven

I was the photographer who made the picture of Paddy in his home studio at Kardamyli, Greece on 3 October 2004 - indeed he was a youthful 89 years old! We had corresponded some years before and I had that rare opportunity to be invited into his home for coffee and more importantly to discuss our shared passion for travel to far flung places. He was witty, sharp and generally interested in my own travels. In 2012 I put together a blog concerning my encounter with PLF, it may interest you and your followers. <br /><br />http://anencounterwithpatrickleighfermor.blogspot.com.au/Metrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05148045391232890640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8732486.post-85203724793894013372011-06-18T19:15:04.644-07:002011-06-18T19:15:04.644-07:00The first vol. of PLF's Trek across Europe is ...The first vol. of PLF's Trek across Europe is included in The Guardian's (UK) List of 100 Greatest Non-Fiction Books.
