Following the nerve agent attack on Britain by Russia, it was clear from the joint statement made by Britain, France, Germany and the USA that we were all singing from the same hymn book… almost. While Nikki Haley, US ambassador to the UN...
Don’t worry, Cyprus hasn’t suddenly been overrun with crocodiles biting people’s feet off. It’s a bit more subtle than that and nothing to do with animals. Ten years ago I moved to Cyprus from England. One of the main...
British Prime Minister, Theresa May, has said in the British Parliament that she believes the Russians were behind the use of a nerve agent, Novichok, in an attempt to murder a Russian ex-spy and his daughter, in Salisbury, Wiltshire. There...
It’s a simple process, buying property in Cyprus – on the face of it. But before you do anything, bear in mind when I say Cyprus I mean the republic, not the north which is in limbo and not recognised as a country by any nation on...
During the last 14 months since Donald Trump, reality TV personality and so-called businessman, became the president of the USA, we in the world outside of the USA have spent a lot of time looking at what’s been going on in America and...

I know, not much consolation if it’s still deep mid-winter where you live, but it’s spring here in Cyprus and all the plants are flowering and there’s blossom on the peach tree. Actually it’s a nectarine but that’s...
Don’t get me wrong, I love Cyprus and it’s not the least bit pathetic. This piece is all to do with mispronunciation. As a writer, I’m attracted to words and I try to pay attention to words without spelling them incorrectly or...
Our decision to buy an apartment is based on two guiding thoughts. (1) We cannot get a good return on investment via any Cypriot bank. (2) In a few years time we will want to downsize for our retirement. The most important of these two is our...
