Charmed bike

When pedalling up a hill seems too much effort, a new bike allows you to switch mode so you whiz up it by battery power instead

Handsome, strong, reliable looking, extremely useful, and capable of easily carrying you off into the sunset – the Powabyke is all the things you’d want in a bicycle. It was love at first sight.

OK ladies, clutch bags are ‘in’ this season. Open any fashion magazine and there’ll be a picture of one celebrity or another holding onto her fave clutch. The perfect evening accessory for a posh dinner or a night out on the town, a clutch will give you the ‘glitz’ factor to die for.

Enticing reds from Spain

Wines from the Ribera del Duero are expensive but generally considered worth it

Arguably the most exciting red-wine region of Spain right now is the Ribera del Duero. Its chalky terrain, high altitude, warm summer days, cool nights, short growing season and cold winters make it ideal for the production of fine wines.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
