A tiny pear tree yielded over 4 kgs of pear-fect fruit - joy!

#homegrown #fruit #blighty

A conference pear may be the most common pear in the UK but it is delicious and a September fruit that lasts into October, pear-tastic!

A Conference pear is an autumnal variety of pear, developed in Britain by Thomas Francis Rivers from his Rivers Nursery in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire. Its was name post the National British Pear Conference in London in 1885, where it won first prize! We love it!

From Paros with an invitation to escape to the shores of this isle this autumn or in 2026.

Located on the outskirts of the village of Naoussa, the island’s liveliest destination, Avant Mar affords visitors a fantastic perch on Paros.

so love the Nile and how refreshing to see folks enjoying it too

What a memorable evening with members of @bcrpm.bsky.social, many thanks to Ambassador Tsaousis and his industrious team, all the speakers and moderators. The film clips and photos were very moving. George was a brave person, one whose legacy will live on forever.

Advocate George Bizos with Eleni Cubitt at the LSE in 2007. Both were dedicated to the reunification of the Parthenon Marbles campaign. Both are sorely missed.

no respect by Michael Grove and his wry remark, just devastated that the plight of the #ParthenonMarbles continues - where's the #respect for #culturalheritage

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?
Tonia Buxton tucks into a hearty, authentic Larnaka 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…
