Polemi Tulip Report
Handsome Chap
Tabby's a pretty boy. The other three cats all have long hair (and Boy don't we know it at the moment), but Tabby is different. And not just in relation to hair type either. Minx, Mark and Patch all like being cuddled, but not Tabby. If you pick him up you have about five seconds before he is wriggling to get free. But he loves being near us. He will curl up in a ball next to us on the sofa, if given the chance, and has even been known to sleep on Alex's lap. He just doesn't like being cuddled.
SHOCK HORROR!
Walking further up the tulip field, I made a shocking discovery. There was a purple tulip growing!
Why is that shocking you may ask? Well, in previous years, the tulips have always been red. Indeed, in previous Tulip Festivals, the stalls have always sold red plastic tulips, or red cloth tulips, or pictures of red tulips, or cups adorned with red tulips. They are noted for their redness.
So why is this one purple?
Astounded Cats
As you can see, Mark and Tabby were astounded by this relevation.
Nonchalant Cats
Patch and Minx didn't seem that fussed though.
Purple is the New Red
As I walked up the road by the field, I could see more and more tulip flowers. And they were all purple.

eBookCyprus Road Trip 01: the Kathikas - Panagia Loop
Let me take you on a journey around the region of Paphos, Cyprus. Starting at Paphos itself, we travel to Akoursos, then Kathikas, Kritou Terra and Simou. We continue past Lasa and Kannaviou, before taking in the delights of Panagia. Getting a bit more adventurous, we visit the abandoned villages of Statos and Agios Fotios, before passing through Choulou, Letymbou and Polemi, and rejoining the main Paphos - Polis road.
The route is suitable for all types of vehicle, and requires no off-roading. The guide contains about 130 photographs including shots of all the road signs you need to pay attention to, as well as some of the highlights you may experience along the way.
There are also several maps which will help you keep your bearings.
You can do this journey in a day, or you can break it up into chunks. You can also do it in reverse, to get some completely different views. It is entirely up to you.
