Sometimes, we have an unexpected encounter which makes a significant impact on our lives. When I joined this Group, almost a year ago, I started “liking” the posts of a funny, clever Member, who told us stories of her Lockdown life in the UK, brilliantly scripting the words through the “voice” of her cat and… Read more
The Window-Blog
What do you see from your window?
Our Community’s Website hosts the Window-Blog, which features content created by Group Authors and Photographers, which has also been shared to the Group, on the Website’s public stage.
Unlike our Group which is a private forum, this Website is a forum that may be visited by the general public, and with this we are able to extend the positive vision of our Community to a wider audience, thereby reaching more people who may share our values.
The Window-Blog provides a great opportunity for our Group’s devoted and dedicated Member-Authors to develop their writing talents, to display the collection of their Group posts in one location, and also allows Members to follow the works of these Authors in a blog format.
The Window-Blog has been receiving wonderful feedback from both Authors and Members alike.

Bouzouki
I have been reluctant to watch the news over the last year, so sometimes I’m not really sure of all the happenings in my hometown. So although I sort-of knew that our restaurants and cafes were starting to reopen again, siga-siga, it became a loud reality when my neck of the woods embraced the new… Read more
Lost Sock
A whole lotta rain and wind (again) on this Wednesday morning caused the loss of one of my socks from the balcony of my third-floor flat here in Cyprus, while the other got trapped in the railing. Ol’ Bear had a look down below, but the wandering footwear is nowhere to be found. Ed the… Read more
Dee-Dum
It’s my baby brother’s birthday! The last time I saw him was just over five years ago, in Cancun, when we siblings reunited — Steven along with his gorgeous girlfriend Jen, my beautiful big sister Lindy from South Africa, and my darling daughter Devon with her soon-to-be fiancé Patrick who popped the question while we… Read more
Green Monday
It’s “Green Monday” in Cyprus. Usually, every year, we all gather at beaches and parks to celebrate the beginning of Lent. Thousands of kites are flown which symbolize the path of spiritual and physical perfection. However, this year, the festivities are more subdued. I didn’t even leave my third-floor flat, except to take my trash… Read more
Tablecloth
We traveled so much when I was a kid. From England to Scotland to Australia to South Africa. Then there was America, Scotland (again), and finally, for me, the beautiful Mediterranean island of Cyprus. It’s midnight here, which means it’s Mother’s Day in most of the countries I have lived in. So I want to… Read more
Caterpillar Companion
A few days ago, I took the Two of Them to my favorite beach for a socially-distanced soirée with a dear friend of mine. We are still obliged to obtain permission via SMS to go out, so after I received my “go-ahead”, I went ahead. Whilst taking a short break in the slightly seaweedy sand… Read more

The Gift
The cold snap in Cyprus seems to be over today, but Bear, Li’l and Ed the Ted had made me promise to allow them to show off my smooshy scarf and Christmas masks which finally arrived via “snail-mail” after three months in transit. I arranged some orange blossoms on the balcony and everyone got cosy… Read more
Ghostly Time
A slightly spooky feeling seeps through me when I stand here on a dank day like this in Cornwall. Where history seems to thickly hang, like the sentinel castle perched on that misted, distant hill. Above the brick silent viaduct that no longer echoes with the rippling rumble of bygone trains. It could be the… Read more
