For a while - world problems and politics could be forgotten as our children, in their innocence, delivered a most endearing Christmas play. So many people came together to make this happen - Aristos on the sound system, Skippy - (George Vassillis) - playing Santa Claus (Saint Vasilios) - and who normally drives the road sweeper! - Stathis, - electrician, Neoklis, from the Council and most of all Nicoletta - the Nursery Teacher and her assistants.
I was delighted that Kouklia Arts was asked to produce backdrop scenery for the play, and given it's size, could only work on the floor of the Council hall. ( more notice next time please)
This is a piece of work which will also be used by the Junior school, and the plan is, with slight adaptation, for years to come. What a joy to be painting whilst listening to the children rehearse - what a privilege to feel so much included here in Kouklia - who, as an Ex - Patriot very much miss my own Grandchildren and family at this time of year.
Many thanks again Kouklia people, for making us so welcome - and giving this very special opportunity.
