Not only the Parthenon has lost its marbles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How would the British public feel if someone stole old Nelson from his plinth, or a lion from Trafalgar Square, placed them in their museum and refused to give them back, knowing they are inherently British? Neither are as old, beautiful or as valuable as the ancient pieces held captive in England. The Parthenon marbles were taken in the full knowledge that they were not the property of the occupying Ottomans to hand over, they were sculpted by Greeks depicting their stories, and their very obvi
The hidden cost of being a ‘cat lady’ in Cyprus (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I have books on Celtic archaeology sent to me by a dear friend that I read through and kept till I had leisure time to enjoy studying them. It never came. I open a chapter now and then as I do with a good book, snatching time from what takes up so much of my days – caring for homeless cats, dogs and birds. The dream of a quiet old age, my yappy mouth shut, my creative urges taking over, evaporated along with the intention to throw oil on canvas to my heart’s content. Or design textile pictures I
On holiday with a ghost (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Few relish holidaying alone. I met Freida, who did, at a mutual cousin’s home in Ireland, who was thrilled I was living among Greeks. A love of Greek and Roman intellectual heritage had drawn her to a university colleague, her now her ex-fiancé.

She decided after the break up, to go alone to a small hotel for a week in August in a sere

Read excerpt
The original Little House on the Prairie (1974-1983) was based on the books of Laura Ingalls Wilder. The new Netflix adaptation pays closer attention to the realities of the period. In 1974, life in Cyprus was shattered by the coup and the invasion. And yet I don’t remember comparing the Ingalls’ experience of settling into Indian (Native American) territory to Cyprus when Turkish settlers moved into Turkish occupied north Cyprus. Unlike in the gloss-over-facts movies I grew up with, settlers mo
Shock, awe and lessons lost (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Language is one of humankind’s finest achievements. Its progression led to swifter understanding of the actions our species needed while hunting or escaping predators, for expressing emotions, understanding each other. Some words lose impact by overuse or misuse but, at times, they arrive because they are appropriate. I was shocked when I read of the death of Sevgul Uludag, who needs no introduction to anyone who really cares about a reunited Cyprus because of the fearless, honest journalist she
