Living the Dream - 53. Liquid Gold

Liquid Gold is what they used to call olive oil in these parts. When I was a boy in England, oil was what you fried chips in. There was another type that you put in your car. Taste-wise, they were pretty similar. As people traveled more, so did food. Olive

Living The Dream - 52. Snakey McSnake Face

Snakey McSnake Face is probably not her real name. I didn’t ask. On Sunday I had walked to two famous Venetian footbridges [https://in-cyprus.com/4-venetian-bridges-in-cyprus-that-will-leave-you-breathless/] up in the Troodos mountains. It was a lovely hike of eight miles or so. I was even presented with my “50 mile

Time for a roundup. Weather I wrote last week [https://stuartlennon.com/living-the-dream-47-hotting-up/] that things were hotting up. Haven’t they just. Temperatures hit 42 degrees Celsius (107 Fahrenheit) on the golf course this week. I prefer to walk a course, eschewing both a buggy and a trolley. I find

Living the Dream - 47. Hotting up

In true British style, we had been lamenting [https://stuartlennon.com/living-the-dream-45-coptic-gales/] how unsettled the weather was and how temperatures were below average. Then, boom. Temperatures leapt from low twenties (70f) centigrade to low thirties (90f). The dog appeared shocked initially,
