Paphos Life

Loved loved loved this blog. Thank you Dominic.

Me, and 'Him Indoors' did a very similar run . . . around 2007/8 and ended up in Nata. It certainly wasn't planned. We just used to follow our noses and they were the best days ever. X

Thank you Max for posting the lovely photograph. . . . .of one tree. Always, at this time of year, and even in the North of Scotland, I am planning my raised beds, pots, cold frame and green house with thoughts of succession planting, nurturing seedlings and growing ALL THINGS wonderful to eat, shar...

For me it would work with a tad of crispy fried lardons. Thankyou for sharing. X

Yes, I used to love doing that in Paphos. . . . And could do it for a couple of years when we returned to Jockland, but ALAS . . . . no more.

There is no escape from the buggers nowadays!

Could there be a middle ground? Whilst living in Paphos (and surrounding area) we noticed stonemasonry displayed in many places, of the highest quality and skill. Very much like we grew up with in Scotland. . . . .albeit constructed with different stone. I would love to see that Craftmanship at the ...

I used to have a Lexus CT 200 H, a great vehicle, which allowed me, on a good day (long journey, good weather) between 4.2 and 4.3 l/100 km and, on a bad day (bucketing down/night time, cold weather, short trip) 5.3 l/100 km. It is with great regret that I had to sell this car because of age (me, n...

Excuse my ignorance but what are the relative advantages of bio and non-bio washing powders? I'm allergic to biological washing powder and liquids. Would you like me to explain my thrush and body weals which make an appearance if I come into contact with it? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Must admit, I didn't know either b...

Jeepers. . . . What an explosive discussion. Very interesting though.

[/quote] I remember as a kid, putting your four penny's in the phone, if someone answered you pressed A to get through, if no one answered you pressed B and got your penny's back, as kids we used dart into every telephone box we passed by, and press the B button, sometimes the person that used it pr...

Do these booths exist anywhere in Paphos nowadays? I remember 3 or 4 booths at the corner/traffic lights beside Kings Hotel many years ago where my daughter regularly phoned her boyfriend, when we were on holiday. I was at these traffic lights today which jogged my memory. * Not everyone has a mobi...
