I know it's only October, but i am soooo looking forward to firing up my log fire and the turkish oven.....in fact, i am so cold tonight, i seriously wish i had some wood!! I know that closing the doors and windows and even putting on a jersey would help...but i can't quite admit that summer is over yet....i am even contemplating throwing some charcoal on the fire instead of putting more clothes on....



Is anyone else feeling it too...?

Absolutely agree. My feet are frozen, but refuse to put socks on, it's too early for winter.

You should buy wood 1 year before you want to burn it - fresh wood is no good. So if you haven't got any now then you will struggle this winter.

My house is at at least a 100 years old....stays wonderfully cool in summer, but in winter just as cool....no strike that... boody effing freezing!! Hence why i have an enormous open fireplace in the bedroom and a turkish oven in the main house...both of which heats up my home wonderfully...however, as i said in my first message, i loathe to light either as it would be admitting summer is over.....



BTW, i am not a moaner of any sorts, so please take your excuse to pick on someone, somewhere else....this was meant as light hearted banter concerning the oncoming winter....although i do offer my sympathies to you if you having trouble keeping your inexpensive, cheaply built villa warm during the (thankfully) few winter months!!

I can't believe this.



We were over there 2 weeks ago and we had the a/c on at night and one day it registered 36 deg on the thermometer



The temp can't drop that quick and to a degree where you need a fire on ?

i dont feel too bad at the moment although ive put a cardi on for the first time,the trouble is,these houses are built for summer weather and can feel colder inside than it does outside,but at least we can get a break from the mozzies for a while.after tomorrow it should warm up again,its far too early for winter here ;)

One of the things I have never really got used to in Cyprus is how fast the seasons change. One minute I am complaining about the heat, the next wondering where I put the duvet and thick sweaters. But surely winter has come early this year usually I swim until the end of October, but I have given up now.



Daisy I am surprised at you! Surely you know the best way to keep your toes warm is a friendly dog on your feet

We'll be over in Alsancak in 2 weeks, can't wait to get to some cooler weather after summer in the Emirates. The weather in the TRNC now should be like the UK was in August!



At least playing a round of golf will be more pleasant.

We were out there this time last year and the weather was wonderful and warm we even sat outside in the evening but had to put on sweaters at around 10pm so winter must have come early for you!!We had a frost here in Newark on friday night and we are expecting another tonight but it is sunny at the moment with a high of 10c!!!
