When I was still doing my old blogs we were still living in Cyprus. We were in a really nice 2 bedroom detached bungalow, with its own pool in the front garden. We were about 1/2 a mile from the beach in Protaras, a beautiful place to be. Despite my MS problems life was quite good.
I was still doing yoga and trying to do as much as I could. My walking had gotten a lot worse, I was using a walking stick and a rollator. I also had a mobility scooter which I used frequently to go with Hales when she went for a walk along the beach walkway.
It was probably my favourite place we lived in while in Cyprus.
Unfortunately we didn’t get to stay there for the rest of our time in Cyprus, we ended moving into a 3 bedroom bungalow out in one of the villages. It wasn’t as nice as the one in Protaras but it was slightly cheaper rent and nice and secluded. It did also have a nice Jacuzzi in the garden!
It was an ok place but not as nice as being in Protaras. Unfortunately we were a fair drive away from where I had been doing yoga so I had to give that up. There was a physiotherapy centre very close though so I started going there twice a week. 1 session of physio and 1 session of hydrotherapy. I didn’t enjoy it as much as the yoga, but it was still something to keep me active.
I was starting to get settled in the place, but that didn’t last long. Hales got made redundant from her job, and we knew it was going to be extremely unlikely there would be a job available in Cyprus that would pay enough to keep us there!
The heat over there had been getting harder for me to deal with for a few years, so we took the hard decision to call time living in Cyprus and return to the UK!
I will continue this next time and get up to date with where things are now.
