No less than we expected concerning the water supply to north Cyprus. Being held to ransom comes to mind.

I am so proud of Rhys who is running in the London Marathon today. He has tried for 10 years to get a place and this year he was successful. A little disappointed that none of his family are going to support him. Mal and I would have been there had we not booked this holiday. Good luck Rhys. Bless him he is running for Children with Cancer Uk. He text and said he was cold but he won’t be once he starts running……..Run Rhys run! My niece is there supporting her friends and took this photo.

This was at 23 miles…looking good!!

I am so very proud, just wish we could have been there.

Meanwhile Mal and I took a trip to the Garlic Farm. We had a tour around the farm, a lot of tastings and bought a few things as we both love garlic. Dogs were allowed here too. We even bought Garlic Beer.

While we were walking on the farm tour a Frisbee, or what we thought was a frisbee landed in front of Mal and he was just about to pick it up and give it to someone behind us when they shouted “leave it”. What we hadn’t realised was that a lot of fellas were playing disc golf. To be honest I had never heard of this before. So, one of the players explained it all to us and you can see from the photos that they are like frisbees and this is serious business, different weighted ones etc. They each carry round about 30 discs as you can see from the bag on the floor!

From here we looked for somewhere for Sunday lunch and remembered that the Laburnam Tea Rooms do a Sunday lunch and the owner loves Ellie! So back to Shanklin. Well, I had to give Mal some of my Beef dinner, far too much for an unbelievable £6.95. Plus she asked if Ellie would like to have “a piece of meat”. I said that I was sure she would. No way was I expecting what she brought out…….a dog bowl full of turkey and beef!!!

Such a lovely lady and she wanted to swap her dog for ours!!

Meanwhile yeah……..Rhys has finished and has his medal to prove it……so well done! Well, I think so but then I am his mum!!

In the evening we went for a long walk along Shanklin beach and felt we had to round off our holiday with an ice cream. I had resisted all week! Yes, Ellie and I shared it! She has been thoroughly spoilt this week.

We heard from Rhys when he arrived home and he said he was not pleased with his time 5 hours 41 minutes and so now wants to do the Bournemouth Marathon. I wonder if he will feel like that tomorrow?!
