I’d arranged the flight times to coincide, to make pickups and drop-offs easier, as it’s about an hour-and-a-half round trip to the airport. With Christien and Brad returning on the flight that Mum was arriving on, we set off to the airport. As luck would have it, the flight was about 30 minutes early, meaningContinueContinue reading “Visitors, Sóller, Pollensa, Formentor and Palma”

Famagusta and Bella Pais
The three of us set off toward Famagusta—known as Gazimagusa to the Turks—with the aim of visiting the part of the city that was abandoned 50 years ago and only recently reopened to the public. In 1974, after a failed Greek coup, the Turkish army invaded Cyprus under the pretext of restoring order, advancing fromContinueContinue reading “Famagusta and Bella Pais”
A week in Cobham, with a trip to the theatre
With Mum back in fighting shape, the three of us headed down to Cobham to look after Rhubarb for the week, which is always a huge pleasure.

Our daily routine of gym workouts, yoga, swimming, and strolls along the beach left us feeling very fortunate. We’ve metContinueContinue reading “Leaving Mauritius. Back to the UK for a while.”
Back to the UK for a “dads and lads” weekend
Our journey back from Palermo was surprisingly smooth, which was a perfect way to conclude our time there. We spent the weekend with my parents before heading over to my brother’s house. After getting haircuts and catching up with friends, it was time to embark on a trip that Seb had organized, one of theContinueContinue reading “Back to the UK for a “dads and lads” weekend”
The cactus garden and wine region
The weathers been a bit hit and miss this last week, but we’ve made the most of it. Swimming at our sheltered spot in Costa Teguise. Walking the interesting Famara beach, with its dark mountain backdrop. Continuing on the Manrique theme, we took a trip to see his final (he died in 1992) project; “ElContinueContinue reading “The cactus garden and wine region”
