Assorted Photo'e of my time in Cyprus

Susi Yum !!!



At least I got in the sea once!! Lovely wedding


I thought I would just show you a few of the photo's in Cyprus.......

Gosh!!!! it's hot

Good morning, it is so hot here at the moment it is hard to concentrate so I am going to get a few things done this morning before it gets too hot, it is going to be 86 deg. (F) today. I did get in the sea in Cyprus but only one day, it was lovely in the water, shame I could not have gone in every day. The Doctor I saw was trained in Bucharest and he was telling me how much he likes Romania and he would like to live here again. I also met two Romanian girls working in one of the shops, they were so delighted to talk to me ,it was a little difficult with my limited Romanian and there little English but we managed to talk for quite a while. It was obvious they were home sick and were pleased to talk about their home. I also met young people from Bulgaria, Poland and Germany who have all gone to Cyprus to earn some money. The culture and traditions in Cyprus are very similar to the Romanians and they are a caring people too.

To be continued late.

Home at Last Hurrah!!!!!!



Well I am home at last, it was a long time to be away and do not think I will go away for that long again.However I had some good times , the wedding was wonderful and a perfect day for Pattie and Robert, The meal at the Japanese restaurant was a great experience where the food was cooked in front of you on a great flat grill (pictures to follow) and the last night at the Mexican restaurant was really good too. Cyprus is a lovely island unfortunately I did not see much of it I had wished to go to different places and do all sorts of things , like snorkel etc.etc. but I had not been there long when I had to visit the Doctor. My BP was 195/100 and my left leg and foot were swollen so much I could not get my shoes on. The pain was awful but I tried my best to get on with as much as I could. The doctor had told me to rest in the afternoons and gave me water tablets. I was so disappointed I had gone all that way ( and the ex pence) and could not be with the others on the beach and swimming in the sea. Just unfortunate but we met a lot of lovely people some of whom joined us most evenings, (Karen and BJ and Tony and Cindy) we had many laughs.

On my return to UK I had three teeth out which proved to be very painful so that when I landed at my Sisters (Betty) I was feeling quite ill. She looked after me and so did her husband Tom and I began to recover. I just though can anything else happen on this holiday???? I had also lost two suitcases to damage on the airlines . My nephew Tony invited us for a meal which was lovely and it was great to see all the family, he did Salmon with ginger for me as my mouth was sore, it was delicious. I also managed an evening out with my niece Gaynor (Betty's daughter) we had a lovely meal at "The Hare and Hounds" on top of Werneth Low. I also got to see my old school friend Janet and we chatted about all sorts of things.

Well I will probably have Lot's more to say about my month away but for now I must go, I just wanted to get back on line for now.
