Living the Dream - 30. Harvest

My mum always jokes that if you throw a rotten tomato into the garden in Cyprus, months later, you would have a tomato plant. The soil here is incredibly fertile. Fruit and vegetables grow in abundance and taste divine. Winter is citrus season and we are fortunate to have some

Living the Dream - 29. Winter

Winter Winter is here. Cyprus has one. No, I didn’t know either. Many rejoice. “The dams need filling.” Recent arrivals look at each other, glum. Doubt wafts about. Nobody came for this. Winter has got out of the blocks early, and with alacrity. The news reports that yesterday, we
