Last day of the month folks and as I’m over here, in cold and wet Kent, no newspapers to read this week to give you the local Cyprus news. Joan and Jill dragged me screaming and kicking, to the local Ashford outlet shopping centre. At least as the whole is under cover we managed to … Continue reading »

Sunday and what else can you do when on holiday in UK, but go round to the pub at lunchtime. The Prince Inn, just round the corner from Les and Jill’s house, serves up a few lovely real ales so I was more than delighted to enjoy a few. As always a few of our … Continue reading »

A nice leisurely start today and as Jill is not working on Fridays, we were able to go out to Ashford to start to get some of the things on our shopping list. This evening we had arranged for Peter and Ann, our other local friends, to come round and join us in the evening … Continue reading »

Well we made it. Yesterday evening we heard that we had been booked on the 5 a.m. flight today, so it was a case of, what shall I take with me and do I really need to get up at 1.30 in the morning. I managed to use the internet to organise a hire car … Continue reading »

This evening, Joan and I, had Liz and David, the original owners of that wonderful BBQ built around the wooden pergola,; and Barbara and Bruce from Karaman around for dinner. The real excuse was that they all wanted to see our pictures from the trip to Australia etc. It is always a little embarrassing showing … Continue reading »

5 a.m. start to get Arie to the airport in Larnaca on time and then armed with a shopping list from Joan I had to go to the hypermarket on the way back. Guess that’s why when I started to catch up on some of my admin work this afternoon I started to nod in … Continue reading »

We decided that Arie needed to experience the traditional Sunday lunch at Henson’s and as Brian and Gloria Tattersal are also her at the moment, we joined their party for lunch. Surprise, surprise, the rest of the Lapta Layabouts also came wandering in, in dribs and drabs. The first Sunday lunch of the winter season … Continue reading »
