So, bloke in C. Kouklia?
Nephew getting married there on Easter Sunday. Nice place or what? We should strain sinews to go or mutter about Eastern Med at that time of year?

We spent a week in Cyprus at Easter. We really enjoyed it, especially the Turkish side.
If he reads this blog Uncle Tim is going to be in trouble. Allowing strangers to decide something like that. Let’s hope he doesn’t tell his intended.
Kouklia is nice, a small village just up the road from me (Pissouri) and half way between Limassol and Pafos. A few bars and tavernas oh, and a reptile zoo…

That will be Cyprus shite weather.
What they think of as nice weather us temperate folks think of as unbearably hot. Also, some of us prefer green rather than parched.
Which is why we chose Easter to visit there, not summer. Same for Croatia.

Not much has changed in the 20 years I’ve lived here, was it The Vineleaf by any chance…?
It mysteriously burnt-down at the beginning of lockdown last year but has been re-built and opened again recently.

A good point well made… It is 17 at the moment and will be 21 later – we are freezing!
Last week the magical transformation from brown to green started…

That sounds familiar. (But it wouldn’t be the only one.)
