Rateswitch and trip to Aphrodite's brewery

 Lee has launched his new company in the UK "Rateswitch"

Lee's description....." It gives me great pleasure to announce the launch of RateSwitch - a mortgage comparison service that will facilitate significant monthly savings for millions of homeowners across the UK.

Unlike traditional comparison websites, RateSwitch sources the competitive 'retention' deals that customers are able to access via their current mortgage lender - without the intervention of a credit check or full affordability assessment.

Visit us at today at www.rateswitch.uk

We'll be adding many more mortgage lenders to the platform over the next few days"

On a warm Summer's day we joined the locals of Pissouri  on a coach trip to Aphrodite's Rock micro brewery which is situated North of Paphos. The selection of beers was superb and the meals served up were very tasty.

The day started off bright sunshine, then suddenly  the clouds rolled in and we had a down pour of rain before the day ended in a beautiful Summer's evening.

There was a smashing atmosphere and plenty of laughs throughout the day.

FOG and a trip to Pachna

 Saturday afternoon we trundled down to the 1911 club  in Pissouri where the FOG (friends of the guides) held their Summer BBQ to raise funds for the FOG  association. 
The food served was superb and the entertainment was provided by local singer Sarah. The guides raised much needed funds by way of a raffle and other fund raising events.




























On Sunday we made our way up to the village of Pachna with Mike and  Tina to meet their friend, Kim.
 Kim moved to the village some 26 years ago and bought a derelict building and over the years has worked hard to construct a beautiful home in the heart of the village. He even has an old fashioned Zivania (moonshine) "still" in his backyard.

After a cooling drink in Kim's courtyard we made our way up into the village to the Linos Tavern for Sunday lunch.
