Maggie & Mal's Adventures in North Cyprus, the UK and Beyond
Down to the beach early in the morning with Rosie. It was a bit cloudy so not quite such a beautiful sunrise as normal. Mal had a paddle and said how warm the sea was compared to the temperature in our pool where the temperature is slowly dipping.
Our house sitters arrived and we sorted Rosie out and packed for our few days away in Istanbul. Sooo looking forward to it.
We were up early and bought Cyprus Today (a precis on NCFP). Apart from their coverage of the ongoing stories, little else.
Wow, we had rain. It may have only been for about 20 seconds but it was lovely to stand in it.
Make what you will of this, people seem to have such short memories, a good thing Mal hasn’t! see link
I have to say, a member of Cyprus 44 remembers too……”The Chittocks, The Petches, Gez, Olive Tree Jack, Maureen and husband and the Chandlers.” Gez was the reason NCFP began! Olive Tree Jack, who tried to rescue the olive trees (two of which are in our garden). The Petches who phoned us so that we could take the grandchildren to see the turtle hatchings. I could go on and on……all gone from the island.

Well, the 1st October and the sun is shining brightly and the temperature in the 30’s. I am sure Geoff Day will not be appreciating the weather as much as others here. Today will be his 55th day in the TRNC court. It really is beyond belief. We may not be there at the court with you Geoff but our thoughts are with both you and Mary, hoping beyond hope that justice will prevail.
Yesterday Pauline had a meeting with the Turkish Ambassador, Mr Kaya Turkmen see link
Jill is back here on a two week holiday and so she came round to visit in the morning.
