I have been waiting to write for a while, in the hope that I could write a ' positive note' however, time has gone on, as it does in Cyprus, and I believe an interim post is in order, as I know from the stats that people actually DO read this stuff.
For the past little while a dispute has been going on about tenancy and ownership of the Blah Blah bar. Nothing to do with me as such, but I am caught up in it, and the gallery, sort of ' collateral damage' . The bar is now temporarily closed, and the courtyard sealed off. Ownership or right to use of buildings is a very grey area in parts of Cyprus, particularly when, as in the case of parts of Kouklia, Antiquities are involved.
To go into details would be totally inappropriate, and anyway, not my business, except to say that it has been very sad to observe the situation.
There has been much shouting and arm waving, and much upset, which is such a great shame when so many people have tried so hard and invested so much in creating something good.
Anyway, we are hoping that normal service will be resumed ASAP, with a few changes along the way.
Meanwhile, I shall be operating from my home.
