Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....

Super evening out at John and Sandy's. There where eight for dinner which was a real treat. Smoked salmon, smoked mackerel, prawns and home made pâté, followed by beef stroganoff and finished off with chocolate profita rolls and black forest gateau and a huge assortment of cheeses. Clearly Sandy had been raiding Sainsbury's before she came back so we all reaped the benefit. At midnight we stood outside on the terrace with champagne and watched the firework displays from some of the big hotels, shirt sleeve order at almost 1 a.m. it must have been around 12 degrees.By 1 a.m. I had personally had enough, so Joan and I left them to it and came home, but it was a great evening and a nice way to celebrate the New Year event.Will start 2005 diary shortly, in the meantime have a great and healthy New Year and for those of you who are awaiting the house completions, we hope that there are not too many trials and tribulations.
