When Barbie met the Parthenon Marbles
Last Saturday the Parthenon Sculptures were used as a backdrop for a Barbie party.
Was this a deliberate insult to the Greek treasures? Or...
"The Parthenon Sculptures are not simply works of art. They are irreplaceable, ancient, cultural treasures, part of world heritage and of global significance." Victoria Hislop, author & member of BCRPM.

A conference pear may be the most common pear in the UK but it is delicious and a September fruit that lasts into October, pear-tastic!
A Conference pear is an autumnal variety of pear, developed in Britain by Thomas Francis Rivers from his Rivers Nursery in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire. Its was name post the National British Pear Conference in London in 1885, where it won first prize! We love it!
A tiny pear tree yielded over 4 kgs of pear-fect fruit - joy!

From Paros with an invitation to escape to the shores of this isle this autumn or in 2026.
Located on the outskirts of the village of Naoussa, the islandโs liveliest destination, Avant Mar affords visitors a fantastic perch on Paros.

Advocate George Bizos with Eleni Cubitt at the LSE in 2007. Both were dedicated to the reunification of the Parthenon Marbles campaign. Both are sorely missed.
What a memorable evening with members of @bcrpm.bsky.social, many thanks to Ambassador Tsaousis and his industrious team, all the speakers and moderators. The film clips and photos were very moving. George was a brave person, one whose legacy will live on forever.

no respect by Michael Grove and his wry remark, just devastated that the plight of the #ParthenonMarbles continues - where's the #respect for #culturalheritage

love the #Larnaka breakfast but would swap the lountza and loukaniko (sausage) for any other vegetables (Cyprus has loads of great ones) including Kolokas, they would make great hash browns๐

These two Ancient Greek plays on in London mid-September are brilliantly acted and directed. Thiasos really know what theyโre doing with comedy. Iโm speaking on 17th. thecockpit.org.uk/show/euripidesโฆ
