Now we live on the other side of Europe, it's understandable that you may worry about us from time to time. I worry about us sometimes. However I can assure you we are both still in one piece. To be bold, Cyprus is probably one of the safest places to live [obviously a statement that is unfounded and not official at all]. Harry and I routinely joke about the reason for police in Cyprus, because they seem to be some what redundant most of the time. But seriously, the rate of crime is unbelievably low.
Living in London, the news is routinely filled with horrendous news about robberies, murders, kidnappings, shootings etc etc, here the news is filled with features about a tree that fell down in a women's garden thanks to the wind, and the flooding in Limassol thanks to a little too much rain in one day. The only violence we have seen on the news since moving here, is that of student protests in London, murders, shootings at christmas in England and other micellaneous crimes from around the world.
And if you needed a little more convincing of our safety here, in the Cyprus Weekly newspaper this week there is a article entitled "Murders down in 2010". Il let the picture tell you rest.
