The Firebirds at Halloween and a walk in the Park.

On a Stormy night we joined a number of friends  and made our way over to the Bonamare bar in Timi to see the Firebirds Rock and Roll show.

As an electrical storm raged outside as the band played a couple of hours of classic rock and roll song. The Bonamare bar was decorated in a Halloween theme and with the flashes of lightening outside this added to the atmosphere.
























Back in the UK, Cari and Jude had a lovely family day out at a local park.

After a few heavy downpours in Pissouri, the clouds cleared  and we were kindly invited by Jan for "drinks and nibbles" on here patio. With a beautiful sunset in the background we were joined by several friends for a lovely evening of laughter.

Silly Cow at Emba Theatre

Along with a number of villagers we made our way over to the Stage One Theatre in Emba, which is just outside Paphos, to see a production of "Silly Cow".   Sadly, we were both very disappointed with the play, we thought that it was so slow and tedious that we left after the first act.

Luckily, we found a warm welcome at the Tsiokkas Taverna close by and enjoyed a light meal and a couple of drinks on their patio that overlooks the local church (Panagias Chryseleousis) which was beautifully lit up.

A Tea party and the Troodos trip Video

On a beautiful October afternoon, the Pine bay club was the venue for a  Tea party. With a live singer and wide selection of sandwiches and cakes a good afternoon was had by all. The event was organised as a fund raiser for the BARC and freedom dog sanctuary and raised over 860 euros for the charity.




















We finally managed to complete our video of our recent trip to The
Troodos mountains.
