Day begins very early. Or yesterday ends late, depending on point of view. Jamie comes to visit and arrives at three in the morning, his plane having landed in Larnaca at one. Which is actually impressively good speed as coming to North Cyprus from Larnaca involves a border crossing, but suspect that traffic and immigration queues more or less disappear at that hour. And the day hasn’t truly begun as greetings over we all retire for the rest of the night.
Most unusually for us, we do have a second bedroom, complete like the first with stone floors, shuttered windows, enormous wardrobe and four poster bed. Its only downside being that it serves as an anteroom for the loo, the door to which is in said bedroom. However, there is an alternative bathroom entrance from the deck. One of the delights of a fifteenth century house where plumbing no doubt a later addition. So tea and visiting postponed until after what in medieval times was known as the second sleep.
