Cyprus Christmas gift guide: The Collective Concept

Just walking into this place gave me the goosebumps. I loved the colours, the diversity of produce and the firm possibility that there are treasures to be discovered all old, vintage, used, pre-loved or however you want to call it. All unique.

This is where you want to shop for your vintage-loving friend or loved one. Where you can buy a plethora of interesting pieces be it a poster or a prom dress. Vintage fashion and homeware is brought together at The Collective Concept and its such a freakin’ great collaboration. A feast for the eyes.

The best homemade jams, marmalades and chutneys in Cyprus

Two weeks ago, while my brother was visiting from England and Georgie’s school was closed for half term, we took advantage of our time off and the great weather and drove to Kato Drys.

This is Cyprus- Athalassa National Park

This past month I made a change in my daily routine. Every morning after I drop Georgie off at school I head to one of my favourite places in Nicosia. The Athalassa National Park. I spend an hour just walking. Not running, not exercising. Sometimes I listen to music and other times I just listen to the sounds of nature. At the park I spend one of the most restorative moments of my day. I ‘switch off’, breathe and allow myself to just be. No matter how many times I go I am always blown away by the peace and quiet and beauty of this place.

Let’s walk – The Teddy Bear Walk

Every night before I kiss my son goodnight, I tuck him in and say I Love You. With his teddybear by his side, I close my eyes for just a second, and express my gratitude because I am able to keep my baby warm and safe from harm. There isn’t any way that I can begin to imagine the horror of not being able to do just that: Keep my child safe.

Bye summer!

For the most part of this month my laptop remained closed. There was a great instinctual need to ‘switch off’ and that is exactly what I did.

This year, August get-aways have made more sense to me than ever before. Our little family happily disrupted everyday habits, sidestepped painful memories and headed to various locations around the island for three whole weeks. Whilst staying at hotels and apartments beachside and visiting remote villages in the mountains:
