Living the dream - Our villa is for sale

January 31

- For some few weeks now, a friend of Richard's has been planning a charity 60's and 70's night in aid of the SOS orphanages over in Famagusta. So with that in mind we gathered a number of friends together and borrowed the school bus and driver from Sunny Lane Primary and set off for a really enjoyable evening. The evening was held at The European Hotel in Famagusta and they did us proud with a tremendous buffet with much more food than we could eat, this was followed by the n

ormal raffle and our table did very well for prizes. Ertugral won a soft toy dog which was clutching a small bottle of brandy and then a whole bag of drinks to follow, he had a good night out and as his wife is in Istanbul at this time he had Joan to keep him company. As the night wore on, Sandra tried to convince me that dog was for real, time to get a coffee maybe! Richard had been seconded to do the DJ job for the last part of the evening and a super job he did too. We all were up and dancing, probably the 60's and 70's music helps with all us oldies around, even I was persuaded onto the dance floor. We finally wrapped the whole thing up a little after midnight, but with the bus journey home it was a 2.30 a.m. bedtime for most of us. We all agreed a splendid evening enjoyed by everybody there and what the hell, it's Sunday tomorrow
