MARCH SUNSET


Wednesday 11th March 2009

I’m really sorry that I have not been able to update our BLOG for sometime, but we have been really busy, what with the olive harvest and one thing or another.

The olive harvest this year was disastrous, due to the unpresidented amount of rain we had here during December and January, which caused a number of problems for virtually all of the local olive groves. Normally the harvest would be completed by mid-January, but this year the olives where still being picked at the beginning of March. Although,we did as much as we could before the Co-operative closed for the season, we were about 150kgs down on last year.

On a happier note, Lin is traveling to Cyprus for 12 days at the beginning of April to visit her son Guy (who is now also working in Cyprus) and his wife Amanda, her daughter Lisa (who has now been residing in Cyprus for sometime) and Grandson Alex.

Lin is flying into Bournemouth on the 1st April, where she will spend a few days with her brother Barrie and his wife Jeanne in their new apartment there. Unfortunately, there has been some complications with Barrie's last heart operation, so he is going to be in hospital on the day of her arrival. However, hopefully, he will only be in the one day, so will be able to spend some time with Lin on the Thursday.

On the Friday 3rd April Lin is meeting her other grandson Oliver at Gatwick Airport and they will fly over to Paphos together, which will be nice for them both.

While Lin is away I will make a real effort to get up to date with our BLOG and tell you all about our recent adventures.

In the meantime, I have published a couple of photographs of the sunset we enjoyed earlier this month. Although, you can never captured the natural beauty of sunsets on film, I hope you like them.
