Sadly Cyprus, like Spain, is going through an economic crisis and we are in for a tough year this year but still prefer to live here than anywhere else. My Cypriot neighbour always presents me with lovely home made pastries and I came home yesterday to find a bag full of lemons left on my patio table, have no idea who left them but it's typical of the hospitality in my neighbourhood.
On a more serious note, my baby grandson was not well before New Year and we ended up taking him to the hospital on New Years Day. Within an hour he had been x-rayed and the paediatrician had been called in and he was admitted with bronchitis. He was discharged this afternoon thankfully but I have a feeling in the UK he would've been sent home with some medicine and not admitted. The hospital may look a bit shabby but the care and attention my grandson got was second to none.
It is a big step to move to a foreign country, specially if you have no support structure to help you acclimatise but at the end of the day if you don't like it you can always go back. In my own case I didn't want to get to 65 and think 'If only I'd taken the plunge when I was young enough to enjoy it.....'
