Not a cloud in the sky, a lovely morning. A cup of tea in bed looking out over the Med! I have to start making more dreams now so many have been fulfilled. I am very lucky and I appreciate that.

No more than a cup of tea this morning as it is the last chance to visit our favourite restaurant Magarina Bulli. They only open Monday – Friday lunchtimes. This really is true Turkish Cypriot home cooked food. Kezi and Kennan are really a delight and treat all their customers so well. After my  experience at The Colony, I sat watching just how this place operates as it is popular with locals, holidaymakers and ex pats. It is popular because the food is so good also excellent value for money and they value their customers.

Kezi was so pleased to see us and immediately said “I know you like fresh orange but it is the wrong season but I have some home made lemonade if you would like to try that.” Yes, I did and it was so good, not the usual sickly sweet but perfect.

We went inside and Mal’s lucky day, they were just taking Firin Kebab (Kleftico) out of the oven . The piece he had was huge and Kenan piled on three huge pieces of potato that had also been cooked in the oven. In fact he had to have a separate plate for his vegetables, with peppers plus 4 kofta. I chose a selection of the food as well, totally delicious as it always is. When we had finished Kezzi came and asked if we would like more. I think we may have burst with even a mouthful more. They don’t like you to leave here hungry.

As I was sitting watching it was interesting that Kezi was manning the bar and till but also had her eye on the customers outside and helping out English who may not have been sure how it all “worked” and also walking round checking that everyone was happy and had exactly what they needed. Perhaps the Colony could learn a thing or two here.

It really is eat as much as you like (or you can manage)  for 20tl. Firin Kebab is 30tl but as I said, that was huge and of course you can have anything else added!!!!

Thought for the Day – “Good things come to those who believe, better things come to those who are patient and the best things come to those who don’t give up.”
