Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
 
We had managed to get some kippers for breakfast from Bell Foods so this was a real treat to look forward to. Also we had noticed that our little orange trees, planted only last April had produced fruit, amazing, only just over two feet high and three juicy oranges for fresh juice and with it being a beautiful sunny morning (20 degrees at 10 a.m.), we were able to sit out on the kitchen terrace once again. I could say sorry to all you folks back in England, but that would only be rubbing salt in the wounds a
nd probably make you send us nasty comments by e-mail. But this is one of the things we came over here to enjoy and it makes putting up with all that rain and mini-hurricanes worthwhile.George and Susan are due back from UK this evening and the house has been empty for the last three weeks, so clearly time to put a couple of gas fires on to air the place out a little for them. Richard and I went round to do just this, but when we walked into the kitchen it smelt a bit sort of off. Investigation revealed that, probably because of a power cut, the electric had tripped and everything in the freezer was definitely past its eat by date. Major clear out time, everything into a plastic bag and then into the dustbin and a wash down of both the fridge and freezer was necessary. It was such a beautiful sunny day, 26 degrees in fact, so this afternoon, Joan and I then went up to the little shop, bought them some bread, milk and eggs and then walked round to their house again, just to give them a starter for breakfast.Stewart and Barbara where picking them up from the airport, so we told them to give Susan the good news about having to go shopping tomorrow
