the bread pudding contains sultanas but benefits from some cut peel.
Lemon Curd on toast in the morning - no shortage of lemons here. :)
Of course us 'poor'relatives in the east would enjoy it too..
Leaving the forum now before the spotted Dick jokes start :roll:


I have studied the advertisements in Grapevine carefully and concluded that there are no gaps left in the market to pander to British expats in Paphos.

Recognise them from the 60s.
When they came down from the hills they often took out the last few rows of seats and filled the space with local produce such as Melons.
Could be fun if the braked hard.

I notice that the interior of these buses is/was divided into two sections, each having its own door. Was that to keep men and women passengers separate, and if so where did married couples sit?
