A celebration in the sun

My husband and I have just returned home after celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary in Cyprus. We were very fortunate to stay with some friends who have lived out there for the last 5 years. They very kindly made us welcome and took us out to some lovely places. Our daughter Rebecca also came with us, she just loved the sun and spent most of her time sunbathing. Although Cyprus has very dry and hot weather it doesn't seem to affect the plant and wild life, everything seems much bigger and vibrant.

As you can see the harvest comes earlier than ours.

I just loved this cactus , the colour shape and form.

This cricket was having its afternoon nap.

This old tree cost over £200. Its dwarfed trunk looks amazing.  

Palm trees just love the hot conditions

This is me showing off my tan, well nearly!! My daughter is the one in the pool....

This virbrante plant lives at the front of my friends house. 

Cyprus is well known for its religious meeting places. How clean and well looked after they all are.

The size of this boat is just amazing. It takes people out on day trips around the island.

My husband admiring this Harley bike. He wishes he could own one . In his dreams..............

A family snapshot . Guess who ?

Thought I'd add a bit of art form . These cobbles are part of a path. Don't they look good .

My husband seems to pop up every where.

What great art is this . Somebody was very clever to create this crocodile with sand.

Dave who we stayed with kept on about prickly pears Well here they are. He said they can be eaten.

A big big thank you to Charley, Sue, Holly, Dave, Drew. Carrie-Ann and Luke who is not on the photo. for making our holiday so special.  We had a lovely time and can't wait to see you all again next year. Love to you all. xxxxxxxxxxxx
