I’ve been bulldozed on to the property ladder
Last weekend I was awakened by what I thought was an earthquake. The trembling walls and a noise that sounded as if it came from the bowels of the earth had me ready to leap under the bed, before I looked out of the bedroom window and saw a giant yellow metal behemoth making its arduous journey up our usually quiet little street.

Going through my tasting notes of 2007 I seem to have omitted some of the local wines that this page believes are worth mentioning. The omission was not intentional.

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.
