Sunday 2nd October

And so after 10 good but busy days back in the UK it was time to head back to our home in sunny Cyprus, although we cant complain about the weather in the UK whilst there.

I need to record my thanks to Lillian, family and friends for making my 60th birthday such an enjoyable event.  It was lovely to see everyone and it was a time to be remembered.  A special day.

The other highlight of our stay was watching Ipswich win at Upton Park against West Ham Utd.  they played really well, deserved to win and the atmosphere amongst the Ipswich fans one to savour.  So much better than my trip to Villa Park to see Aston Villa v Wigan.  Not the same when you watch as a passive observer not worried who wins!

Steve took us to Heathrow, laden with two sets of golf clubs and and a couple of bags of little things to take back with us.  the flight was uneventful and the short taxi ride from the airport to Pervolia was soon completed, although we haven't seen Larnaca airport so busy before with a number of charter flights arriving from the UK all at the same time.  Clearly a good time to come to Cyprus for late holidays.  It was great to be back at our home and virtually immediately Lillian started on her inspection of the garden. Having been away for almost two weeks the new growth on some of the plants was very noticeable and there is some trimming to be done.

Darkness arrived soon and after a drink on the patio, some sorting and unpacking an early night beckoned as we are sure to have a busy day the next morning LOL.
