Not the modern monsters.<br /><br />When I was in Cyprus I walked to a farm with a lovely Russian friend called Lena.<br /><br />The farmer was riding one of these old tractors.<br /><br />There was not much to see on the farm as it was end of May, and for Cyprus, end of the season.<br /><br />The farmer gave us two pumpkins. Lena kindly carried them as I was tired.<br /><br />Lena said her dacha was bigger than the farm.<br /><br />A dacha is a country house. I think she (or at least her mother) has a small holding like you.<br /><br />She has offered to send me seeds for black tomatoes.<br /><br />In Russia they have many, many varieties of tomatoes.<br /><br />I told her about you. She was very, very impressed.<br /><br />Later that evening we ate at <a href="http://keithpp.wordpress.com/2012/07/02/nicolas-tavern/" rel="nofollow">Nicolas Tavern</a>, a very good Greek-Cypriot restaurant where they cook kleftico (a lamb dish) slowly slowly over many hours in a log-fired clay oven.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042538732461826230.post-88589312075588152672012-10-15T09:48:26.527+01:002012-10-15T09:48:26.527+01:00Veg and family, what a wonderful experience!
