Cari's First Birthday and resurfaced roads

Our Gorgeous God-daughter celebrated her First birthday with a short family break to the Welsh coastal town of Tenby, her brother, Jude was on hand to help blow out the candle.

The main village roads we completely resurfaced this week, it caused a few problems but the work was badly needed as the surfaces were in a pretty poor state of repair.

Early Heat, A birthday Lunch and New T-shirts

Unusually hot weather (for May) has arrived in Cyprus with temperatures climbing up to the 33 C.

This type of weather is more associated with August and s quite uncomfortable.




On Sunday we popped over to the Ampeli restaurant in Pissouri bay and bumped into Lisa B who was celebrating her birthday by having lunch with her family.

After a superb souvla lunch were were lucky enough to try the delicious birthday cake.

We took a trip down to the Pissouri Cafe bar and the owner, Alex, handed out some staff  T- shirts to us. Although none of us were very keen to start our bar duties.

Mystery Tour

On a warm Summers day we joined a coach load of Pissourians for this year's Mystery Tour. Our first stop of the day was The Brittania bar in Paphos for a English breakfast.

We the visited Kalogirou candle workshop to see how all the different candles were made and watched them being hand painted.

Our next port of call was, was the Tsangarides winery in the village of Limona, we took a tour of the winery before tasting six wines accompanied by cheese.

We then moved onto the village of Fyti to visited a weaving museum and a well earned cold drink in the local taverna.

We then headed for our lunch stop but our coach got stuck on a narrow county road and we all had to disembark and walk around 2 kilometers to rejoin the bus.

We finally made it to the Sa Buneri Taverna that overlooks the Evretou reservoir and enjoyed a late lunch before heading home.

Lisa and Andrew's Engagement Party

News reaches us from South Wales of Lisa and Andrew's engagement party in Cardiff. The Party was held at the Llandaff institute and the numerous guest had a wonderful time.

Rains and building a Pergola

After a week hazy and dusty weather, the skies grew gray and we had a downpour of rain. Mandy managed to catch a double Rainbow that appeared in the fields behind us.

This week Rob helped Bryan construct a Pergola and they shot a time lapse as building work got under way.

May Begins with Cardiff's Promotion

Well, on the social front, it  has been a busy old first weekend of May. On Friday we joined a gang of friends down at the Pissouri cafe bar for a couple of drinks and a few laughs.

On Saturday evening we caught up with our friends, Tina and Mike who told us all about their recent trek from the UK to Perth, Western Australia. We then strolled with them down to the Hideaway restaurant in Pissouri where we enjoyed a lovely evening.

Sunday saw us enjoying lunch at the Ampeli restaurant down in Pissouri bay before settling down to watch to watch our football team, Cardiff City (The Bluebirds), win promotion to the English Premier league.

We also received some lovely photo's of the clothes that Mandy Knitted for Jude and Cari.
