Gardening. The lavender has gone mad. It has self seeded down the drive which is nice. I have collected some of the seeds to take back to the cottage. It’s had a bit of a cut back today but it really gets down my throat as it is so dry.

A lot of swimming but on my own as Mal says the water is too cold!!!

Later, I wrote the article for NCFP about our visit to the Colony Restaurant. The Food and Beverages Manager, Mustafa Önder, said he would get back to me when he had spoken to the chef. I have allowed him 48 hours before publishing a word and it seems he has no intention of getting back to me. So, totally rubbish customer service too. Ah well, Trip Advisor next!

In complete contrast we ate at The Lodge. Lapta, in the evening. The most charming staff, very friendly and welcoming. Although the restaurant is on the main road, the seating stretches quite a way back so you don’t get the traffic noise.  Mal’s mixed kebab was huge plus there was salad, chips, saute potatoes and vegetables!

They do a good brandy sour too!
