Clapton tribute act

 On a cool, late Spring evening,  along with Tania  and Pete we made our way down to The Bay Tree bar and restaurant to have dinner and watch the Eric Clapton tribute show performed by Dutch entertainer, Ronn van Etten.

After a very good meal we settled back to listen to the music and Ronn could certainly make that guitar sing,  although some of his song choices were a little random.

Easter Monday in Mandria and an Earthquake.

 On a very warm afternoon we drove over to the town of Mandria to see some friends and check out the Easter celebrations. 

We enjoyed a very good lunch at the Klimataria taverna and the village centre was very busy. We were informed that the entertainment/ celebrations would be starting around 3.00pm, but sadly, when we left around 5.30 they were still setting up.

We just experienced quite a severe Earthquake here in Cyprus at 10.00pm. The whole house shook for about five seconds,  quite  disturbing. 

St George's day and a Cardiff Bus Trip

On our return to Cyprus  we made our way down to the 1911 club in Pissouri where they were celebrating St. George's day with a party in the courtyard. The entertainment was provided by Kaela Santosh  who belted out a number of classic songs.

                                

Back in Cardiff, Lee took the Cool Kids on a Mamouth seven hour bus trip around the City using 3 different buses. The trip included visits to Cardiff Bay and Cardiff Castle.

Our final morning in Cardiff

 We woke up to beautiful sunshine on our final day in day in Cardiff. Lee brought Jude and Cari over to say their Goodbyes. 

Lisa cooked us all bacon sandwiches before going out into the garden to play football, play with a few toys and some last minute photos.

We then made our way back to Cardiff airport and on a beautiful, clear afternoon we enjoyed some great views of the Welsh capital as we took off.

We flew on passed Newport and then had views of the two bridges that cross the Bristol Channel.

       
                                               

A day in Cardiff.

 On a beautiful Spring day we strolled from the Fairwater  area of Cardiff into Canton, stopping off at Victoria park where the the Spring flowers and buds were on show.

We continued  our walk into the centre of Cardiff to do a little shopping before having lunch in The old Arcade pub.

In the afternoon we made our way over to Lee's house to meet up with the Cool kids.  We sat around and painted the seashells that we collected in Tenby.

We then got a walk in the local park enjoying the afternoon sunshine and collecting wild flowers.

Return to Cardiff .

 After a smashing weekend in Tenby we made our way back to Cardiff,  although this time there was a lot more traffic on the roads.

We arrived at Lisa and Andrew's new house and they kindly  offered to put us up for a few days.

After our hectic weekend away we decided on a quiet night  in and Rob made a chilli concarne.

Meanwhile the Cool kids got into the Easter spirit with a few furry friends. 

Day 3 in Tenby.

 The day started  with a long, Sunday  morning walk along North beach, the views back towards the harbour are very picturesque and once again we were blessed with good weather.

We stopped off for coffee and toast before heading over to South beach where lots of families were out enjoying the sunshine.

We then strolled along the harbour wall before walking over to the impressive Lifeboat house.

Next on our list was the small castle and lifeboat cottage that sits on a hillock and has wonderful views along the coastline.

In the afternoon  we took the short walk upto the Plantagenet House, this is quirky little pub where we had a quick drink before returning home for Sunday dinner of roast lamb.
