I hope you all missed me! I went on a trip last week with some children from school and it meant that all week I didn’t have access to a computer. What I did have access to was the most wonderful plant experience I’ve ever encountered. We took the children to the Eden Project in Cornwall UK [...] I recently visited an attraction called ‘World of Flowers’ in Devon, near where I used to live. They’d begun their quest about ten years ago carving huge flower beds out of the hillside in the shape of the countries of the world.

Almost unanimously they said [...] I couldn’t believe it, after months of dreary, cold and wet winter, last weekend here in the UK showed signs of spring. The hawthorn at the bottom of our garden has pale green shoots on it, the birds are becoming increasingly noisy in the morning and for once, the sun was shining. Time to get out [...] I regularly scan the Cypriot newspapers online and my favourite is the ‘Living’ supplement of the Sunday Mail.
