Well Off we go

I've been meaning to do this for ages (well the last three months since I got here), and by here I mean Cyprus.
So just to rewind, I'm a Civil servant posted to live and work in Cyprus for the next 3 years. The downsides to coming here were giving up my season ticket at St James' Park (although perhaps not such a hardship this season), and my beloved allotments.
The blog is an to attempt to chronicle (when I remember) my attempts to turn the wasteland outside my house into something resembling a garden.......so off we go.
