Villa in north Cyprus for sale

Ellie and I were out early as the forecast was for a hot day. There was still dew on the ground. So many apples. I did see one of the farm managers and said it looked like a bumper harvest but he said some of the crops hadn’t done so well because of the rain earlier. I guess one might balance the others out. Anyway, who knows a happy farmer?!

Villa in north Cyprus for sale

Ellie and I were out early into the orchards. The sun was out. Some of the workers were moving the apple crates to the orchards, so they should be picking very soon. There were also loads of rabbits. Ellie chases them but she only plays with them.

I then went shopping as the twins are coming at the end of the week so there were things I had to buy, like new buckets and spades!! I also ordered another pair of distance glasses as I only have one pair and they are never in the right place when I need them.

I spoke to Mal in the evening and he is enjoying his time with his brother. More Olympics to watch!

A nice walk and then Mal packed and left to go and stay with Steve. He was giving Shirley a bit of respite to go and visit her daughter. They were already in Thanet and so collected him even though Mal had already bought his train ticket! There has been a bit of confusion about this visit.

More turtles tonight in north Cyprus. A message from Karsiyaka Turtle Watch………….

We have hatchlings from other nests, plus whatever is found in the nest tonight, so you’re guaranteed to see lots of them tonight start their journey into the sea.

I spent the aftenoon in the garden and then went to Fat club.

We were up early and decided to go to Stone Bay. Dogs are not allowed after 10am so we were down there by 7.15! We stayed until 10. It was so nice and there were plenty of other dogs for Ellie to play with and we also bumped into Pauline, one of the Hatter ladies. We walked around to Viking Bay as well. Stone Bay must be one of the best beaches now that Minnis is covered in stinking seaweed.

I have a slow puncture in one of my rear tyres so we decided we really ought to sort it out. We went to Canterbury and the tyre wall was damaged and as Mal was looking around the car, a screw was in the other rear tyre, so a new pair of tyres. Always something on cars.

Then it was watching a lot of the Olympics. A late night watching the tennis!

We went for a walk around the orchards. The crates have been put in place ready for picking the apples but I should imagine it will be another couple of weeks yet.

Mal checked on his Wingham allotment and the rest of his runner beans have been eaten. I think he will give up on that allotment as very little has grown in it as it is a new piece of land and it looks as though the others that have the new ones have also given up! That’s a shame when he has put a lot of work in there but his other allotment is very big, so still plenty of room.

The start of the football season so we watched the Spurs game in the afternoon. A draw.

In the evening we watched the Nadal v Del Potro tennis from the Olympics. A brilliant match.

We were up early before it was too hot and it really was a lovely sunny walk and plenty of people to chat to. We went all through the woods.

Mal went to the allotment for a while, more potatoes, peas and spinach to eat. He then broke up the second sofa which we put in the car and ran it down to the tip. That’s both of them got rid of now. We spent the rest of the day in the garden after our busy week.

We watched a little of the Olympics but I found the cycling quite boring!

A really nice walk with Ellie even though there was a bit of a drizzle of rain. I then went to a new hairdressers as Marcello is in Italy on holiday and thought I would try somewhere else, so I went to The Salon in Sandwich. The girl I had was good, so I probably will be going there again even though it is more expensive, it did look nice, even Mal said so! It took longer than I thought so then had to dash back from Sandwich, back home, get changed into my purple so that I could meet the Red Hatters at the Theatre Royal in Margate. We went to see “Down to Margate”. It was a bit of a shock when we discovered that there were only 28 of us in the entire theatre!!

We sat through the first half, I was thinking that it really was quite painful. We looked at each other, started laughing and we were all thinking the same thing…….yes, we would leave! It really was bad and as Jean said, you don’t enjoy something then leave, so we did. The audience was then down to 24! I always think if you don’t use your local theatres  then you will lose them but this production really wasn’t worth staying and watching.

So we left and went off for a Mad Hatters (sorry Red Hatters) Tea party at a little cafe in Margate old town called Cupcake. I was very good and resisted the cup cakes!
