Cyprus

It’s the only place on the planet I’d happily move to

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I’ve answered similar prompts to this before therefore it won’t be a protracted answer.

Akamas peninsula- Cyprus

That answer is southern Cyprus. West of the island, Polis and Latchi to be precise.

Latsi or Latchi – Cyprus

Love the people, the food, the culture and quite simply the quality of life. it’s a fantastic place operating at a speed I can quite easily blend in to.

It’s our very happy place.

Have a beautiful day.

Stone

I always try to purchase local arts and crafts when i travel

What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?

Whenever i travel i always like to purchase a piece of local art or craft as a reminder of that visit as well as it being a lasting memory.

Without doubt Cyprus is my favourite place on the planet. Where we stay is off the tourist path and we have such a good relationship with the locals. We love the place. I always purchase, photos, fabric or locally made produce as a reminder. However this one year we were walking along the seafront when we saw probably three or four little stone sculptures made from stones off of the local beach, with a little sign saying, “ please take a stone with our love” Now who could resist such an offer from such lovely people. We took the one of a couple, as it looks as if they are walking just as we were that very day. (We didn’t have such fine hats though 😂)

This stone now has pride of place in a flower barrel in our garden. A constant reminder of warm, pleasant days in our happy place.

So simple, so special. Memories, yours to keep forever.

Have a wonderful day 🙏

Thoughts 9/3/24

Where would you go on a shopping spree?

Shopping where would I go.? To be honest shopping is my wife’s forte and to be totally frank from what I see of the bank statements, she is very good at it.

My wife pretty much buys all the stuff that enters our home, I just have the pleasure of earning the cash to pay for it all, but to be honest I wouldn’t have it any other way. Today for instance I was wearing a tee shirt to garden in that was over 25 years old. It’s still in good condition and fits…I look after my stuff but I’m not a tight arse by any means.

I love my hobbies and interests and to be honest any buying I do is for purely selfish reasons and usually involves the purchase of some tech kit such as recently, when I have purchased a Microscope for electronic work as well as a new solder flow rework station and a bench power supply.

If really pushed I guess I’d be heading for my favourite destination of Latchi and Polis in the north west corner of Cyprus. It would be expensive as I’d probably want to buy a seaside villa or something similar…. So I guess for the meantime that shopping spree is just going to have to be a pipe dream. We all need a dream or three in life though.

Don’t forget to dream.

Stay happy and smiling you lovely people.
