- Symi Pink 6 years ago Roses round my door. It has been a very dry spring with no rain for weeks. The old damask roses suffer when the opening buds are rained on as the outer petals shrink when wet, preventing the blooms from opening properly. No such problems this year. The valley is drying out quickly now. The...

Dear Adriana, Still your painted dish from Cyprus is in use, and the many letters with recipes. Don,t know what has prompted me to search your name, but I am so delighted to find you again. I have just returned from a year in New Zealand. As Natalie is 27 now that is when we last spoke. Loads to tell and share. This started with looking up about Micky Gibbs MBE. How funny, how exciting.
