OK folks that is it for the next week. Joan and I are off to Jordan tomorrow at 5 a.m. so don’t expect anything to be updated until we get back. SEE YOU AFTER 1ST JUNE.

Found a report in the Observer newspaper that says that 61% of the younger Greek Cypriot generation and 40% overall are happy to live separately from the Turkish Cypriots. The report goes on to say that, the Greek Cypriots seem to be uninterested in the events of Northern Cyprus and almost half of them have … Continue reading »

Do you remember me muttering and complaining about having to massively cut back our lantarna hedging, because I had let it grow too vigorously and that it looked really woody and sparse after I had done that. Well surprise, surprise, this is the big growing season out here, so I spent five hours this morning … Continue reading »
