We don't have them weekly just a couple or three times a year to cut bougainvillea lemon and orange trees etc, even if we are not in Cyprus I just text him and they do what is needed. Highly ...

Re: Mailbox Flyers

Used to have this problem so took the mailbox off the wall next to gate and now don't have a problem

We don't receive mail as all bills are e mailed or direct debit so I don't see the need for a box, the odd flyer gets thrown on the front step but very rare 8-)

Re: Where do you go for a "proper" cuppa?

Yes Bettys is good but is it the tea that is so good or the surroundings or perhaps the cakes that come with the tea, very picturesque in Harrogate maybe that sways the call somewhat. perhaps its the Yorkshire water !!!!!

I never enjoy a good old cuppa at our house in Chloraka, must be the water as it never tastes right, Coffee is fine but tea no thanks.

Other than "Tea for two" i personally struggle for a good cuppa tea in Paphos.

Re: House insurance
