Living the dream - Our villa is for sale

February 28

- The weather has started to get a little warmer during this later part of the week, so we took advantage and started to do some of those end of winter jobs around the garden. Joan had me making a couple of trellises to allow her honeysuckle shrubs to climb over the front wall. George introduced me to his local carpenter who is coming to give us a price for a replacement gazebo, so hopefully I can make a decision, DIY again, or get him to do it so

that I can get on with the other things that need attention, before the weather gets too hot.Whilst we were out in the front, the local Shepard came down our road with his sheep and goats and showed us his little baby lambs. Joan couldn't resist stroking them and mum was looking quite cross at one time. This evening we took Derek and Sandra to The Grapevine for dinner, our treat for Derek's 60th last month. We should have gone to The Address restaurant, as this is one of Derek's favourites, but Joan had spent the last couple of days trying to get a reservation and their phone lines had been down (this is Cyprus!). Unknown to us the lines came on in the afternoon and everyone had beaten us too it; full house. No problem, we all enjoyed The Grapevine very much and Derek & Sandra had never been there before, so it was a result after all
