Sunday 4th September

Self portrait - hold the camera at arms length - CLICK

Ah Sundays - the day of rest although we started with a long bike ride.  A route that we have taken before which we enjoy as it gives a mixture of coast and countryside.  Heading from home to Faros lighthouse we are than able to cycle very close to the sea for about a mile before heading inland across the fields.

There are many lovely houses that have a full sea view and despite all we have you can't but help to be envious of their locations.  Location, location, location its what its about.

Fields ready for potatoes

Many fields still have great big 'swiss rolls' of hay and straw ready for winter feed we guess, although here we do not see many animals except for herds of goats.  Lots of fields are under preparation for new crops and lots of ploughing is going on, creating huge clouds of dust which Lillian races through at great speed.   It is interesting to see crops that we are so familiar with but have often seen growing in fields, such as peppers and aubergene.  Some fields are already prepared with what most be potatoes.  Cyprus potatoes make the best chips without a doubt.  We are becoming experts on chips and are quite put out when they are not up to standard!
