Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
  
The weather held reasonably this week for the tilers to get all the base work done around the garden. Only one day completely written off with heavy downpours. Unfortunately, in true local style, the delivery of the needed tiles for the circle has been delayed, they say due to the weather, so completion will have to wait until next week.
All of the "Layabouts" are back from their extended UK visits now so a full meeting was organised this evening at the Karsiyaka village restaurant. This res
taurant is a favourite with both locals and villagers alike, so with such a large crowd we forward booked which enabled the owner to get some extra staff in and we all enjoyed a super meal in good company.
Speaking about eating out, I have recently mentioned the Sunday lunch we had at La'chem and the evening meal last week at the new Hillside in Lapta, which I said was good value for money when we ate off the regular menu. Well I have had a phone call from a friend who went for Sunday lunch and he was fairly disgusted, I have come to the conclusion that all these local restaurants try to do English Sunday roast because they believe that is what we want, but in actual fact they don't know how to do it properly, so would be much better sticking to their own food style and from a a personal point of view I prefer that anyway. So there you go folks, maybe it's just us, but next time you really fancy having the traditional English, go to an English owned and run restaurant, or DIY.
