Paphos Life

My daughter and son in law are staying at a beach resort in Sri Lanka, they are safe but hotel is in lockdown and all social media shut sown, she managed a phone call last night to say they were ok, they are supposed to be flying home tonight but that's going to be a problem. She says the people of ...

Lovely pic Max!

Max, your recipe sounds delicious, I must try it.
On another note, the biggest of your Quince root cuttings is now a lovely small tree with blossom!!!
Sadly the two smaller ones did not survive the heat but I look forward a small crop of quinces for jelly later in the year.
The first jar is yours!!!

Sounds like my own (Grannie's) recipe MM.......and it's affa fine!

Thanks Max for reminding me why i moved here.......it could be a lot worse!!!!

I live in Trimithousa and indeed we have had a few problems with Internet outages over Christmas and NY, it is usually brief but annoying all the same, contact Cyta if that is who you use as an Internet provider. that is probably your best action. Maybe water in the works!!!! You may be right there...

Ours has been dire since New Year's Day, was bad over Xmas so assumed just overload or weather but getting worse now.

Devil, I think you would find that only Catholics and Episcopalians in Scotland celebrated Xmas up until the 60's - with threats of sacking, if a man took time off on Xmas day.... New Year was seen as the "Protestant' festival - all changed now, thankfully.... I'm neither Catholic nor Episcopa...

I'm with you here HIC, I absolutely hate the non-word xmas! :evil: X long predates the English suffix mas...............X is the Greek symbol for Christ, used in the first century by believers. And much as we might dislike today's excess at Christmas, or even Xmas........the celebration at midwinte...

Just gorgeous Max ......looking from my house up here in Anoygra towards the West it was quite stunning also. In Scotland, with such a sky, we'd say it was going to the frost!!!

Certainly where we live they are staying longer and flying a lot lower so we can see their beautiful plumage. That's what I've noticed, here in Anoygra they usually only appear for a few days, but this year they have continued to delight us for much longer. I am lucky in that they tend to perch on ...

Is it my imagination or have these lovely birds spent longer on their Cyprus break this year?
We have had them flying around for over two weeks now, not that I'm complaining but it seems in previous years they only graced us for a few days.

It was lovely...……………

It was a take-away.

Great pic Max. I sometimes see a Grey Shrike sitting on the fence across the lane from my house, there is a large pile of old branches piled up next to the fence, and he seems very interested in the insect/larvae life in the wood. Beautiful bird (if little sinister looking!)

Since I made the original posting on here there have been 67 replies,and a lot of questions about the MEU3 kindly answered.However there is still one outstanding issue not agreed on or solved..... A Marriage certificate...... oh dear!! When applying for a MEU3 do you need a marriage certificate (if...

Max, those pics are amazing! Thankyou for sharing.

I had my check with a 'Specialist' at the Royal Artemis.. I just collected my new driving licence card yesterday. I have also had an eye test since with Eye Contact on TOTK road.. My eyesight is just the same as it was 4 years ago.. I have had eye test there between now and 4 years ago :-) Incident...

Shame on you Hudswell for your smug, selfish views. Many/most refugees who flee to Cyprus are, as the article stated, of Arab origin. Many/most are escaping the war-ravaged country of Syria, where there is still conflict with IS and government forces. IS still hold parts of NW Syria and Assad's reg...

I googled greek for sparrow came up spourgitis or sparo in peyia local say struthos phonetic spelling any way one of my favourite birds as Barbara Windsor sang aint it a shame sparrows cant sing You are right, locals call a sparrow: " Strouthos " but also if somebody is small in size :lol...

We normally use Kyrenia as a base when we visit the North, the Pia Bella, but I have heard reports that since they have expanded the casino business perhaps not. We had Lunch at the Kyrenia Palace Boutique hotel on our last trip and it is stunning...and only a very short walk to the harbour....a bi...
