The call came in at about half past midnight this morning. Our Greek Odyssey has been blessed by the Gods. Aeolus stopped the wind, Poseidon calmed the sea and Dionysus said let the party start. It had been a tense day out on Mykonos with high winds threatening to blow out the candles at the biggest birthday bash of the year. But just before midnight the wind abated and Steve & Ali were mighty relieved to see the show go up as planned. 'Absolutely ******* amazing,' said one highly delighted client afterwards. Some big thanks are owed here to Jeremy Cooper at Olio Media who patientlly edited and re-edited the soundtrack of our opera-loving client's favourite arias; to Paul at Nanos Pyrotechnics in Athens for supplying the crew and equipment; and to Riccardo for having the faith in Fantastic Fireworks to deliver another awesome display. While Ali heads back to design a stack of upcoming home displays, Steve is packing his bags for Florence. Before he leaves the playground of the rich, I must remind him of that old joke 'What's a Grecian Urn?'
