settling in

Have been doing the rello thing in between a few jobs around the house. Seen Aunty Pola and Uncle Andrew as well as Uncle Andrew's daughter at the pharmacy.

We went up to a new housing estate to visit the family of Danae's friend. The mum is a Londoner, married to a marine engineer who used to work on submarines. He has built a lovely house on top of a valley that looks out to gleaming white salt pans in the distance. A dramatic pool launches
out over the cliff. There was dust everywhere, then we arive at a green oasis of a garden with sprinklers playing everywhere.




















Last night we washed the cars, watered the garden and took off for a long walk along the seafront. Loads of people were down there. A shipping conference was holdinga sit-down dinner for a couple of hundred people on the dock. It all looked very festive. At 9pm we decided to have a souvlaki and some calamari at a cafe at the end of our walk.got home feeling shattered. I want to take the camera down to the old Limassol by the sea front sometime. it has a 1950s morroccan feel about it all.
Keep you posted...love, Lily

The pool looks very tempting


Its a great day. We delivered Danae to school then went off to have breakfast at A's rello. Fresh halloumi..yum.
Love, Lily

I'm here, I'm here


Arrived intact and on time. Helen picked me up and we went home to a lovely lunch with Dina, Stella, Ian and Aunty Mary. We spent the rest of our hot first day sitting under the pergola and having drinks. It's a hard life but someone has to do it.

Johnny created this wonderful animation of my trip over.
Isn't he brilliant!
