love the #Larnaka breakfast but would swap the lountza and loukaniko (sausage) for any other vegetables (Cyprus has loads of great ones) including Kolokas, they would make great hash browns😋
Where have you had a memorable breakfast?

And although Tonia lives and works in London, she❤️Cyprus and is keen to encourage visitors to make the most of breaky by these shores!

These two Ancient Greek plays on in London mid-September are brilliantly acted and directed. Thiasos really know what they’re doing with comedy. I’m speaking on 17th. thecockpit.org.uk/show/euripides…

The Poet's Wife, is a rose shrub of David Austin that has amazing blooms, scented and loved by bees. The wonderfully rich fragrance with a hint of lemon, becomes sweeter and stronger as the roses age and their petals grow paler. Delightful.

Eager to paint Howard Carter as a hero, Egyptology has been slow to confront the open secret of his thefts from the tomb (except when one US collector/‘mummy’ expert wanted to publicise his 2022 book…). This article lays it out clearly: will the July 27th auction of this item go ahead? 📜🏺🗃️ #Egypt
Did this grasshopper come from the tomb of Tutankhamun?
The Guennol Grasshopper is coming to auction after spending years in notable private collections, but are its origins even more illustrious?
