The Triple birthday Bash

We went to a birthday party held for three friends of ours, Simmo, Dom and Adie. The poolside BBQ was well attended and Yanni roasted a suckling pig.

There were some interesting speeches and a good deal of singing and all 3 of the main men had a cracking night of Celebration

A day at The Races in Nicosia

This week we went on a coach trip to Nicosia racecourse, around 60 people boarded the coach for the trip to the Island's capital. A private marquee had been arranged for us and a superb buffet was served.

In the horse racing stakes, Lady luck did not smile on us until the final race when Mandy and Rob's horses ended in a photo finish with Mandy's horse winning by a nose.

Dragon Ideal Gardens.

This week Mike and I helped a friend construct a small garden. We cleared weeds, laid a porous membrane and then laid  3 ton of chippings.

We built a water feature and planted a variety of shrubs and trees including a Yucca and banana tree. We now plan to add a water feature to the rock garden.

Puppies in Pissouri

Recently we have had some new arrivals in the village, one of Theo’s dogs has given birth to seven puppies.

Lots of Oooh and Arrrrring when people come to see them, as you can see from the photo's, they are very cute.

Ade’s Birthday BBQ

A birthday BBQ was held to for our friend, Ade, to celebrate his birthday. The bash was held at Tina and Paul's house in Pissouri.

There was a good turnout of guests and Yannis cooked a superb Pork Souvla.

Bottles of the local Zivania firewater were cracked open to wash down the superb food.

The Band of the Royal Marines.

The Pissouri amphitheatre was the setting for an evening concert by the Band of the Royal Marines. The band entertained a full house with a variety of music from Verdi to the Beatles.

After the concert we visited the 1911 club with a number of friends for liquid refreshment and to discuss the night's entertainment.
