Christmas time again in Kouklia

It's that time of year again in Kouklia Village - most tourists have now returned home  and we are able to be ' US' the Community, coming together in celebration of Christmas and New Year. 

What better way to celebrate and acknowledge the community at this special time than through the children - The future - full of eagerness, anticipation and promise. With families coming together, Parents and Grandparents, to enjoy the inspiring and emotional performance of the very youngest in the Community. - The Nursery school. 
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.

    I am passionate about Cyprus, and the village of Kouklia in particular. I'm lucky enough to live and work in the area
