Our adventures in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus continue....
 
Back to some gardening today. Joan and I took her little jeep up the mountain above Karsiyaka to get some stones from a quarry up there. She is trying to extend some of the soils areas around some of the established shrubs, so wanted to start doing a bit of dry stone walling. No end to her talents really; and she knows after all these years that DIY is the only way, getting Frank in to do anything serious in the garden is not a
n easy task.
Speaking of gardens, Stewart and Barabara, our immediate next door neighbours, have lots of cacti in their garden. Stewart asked me to look at this one cactus which has put up a central stem of over 12 feet in height in the last two weeks. It looks as if it might also burst in to flower in the near future. It really is quite something to see, so hopefully watch this space, if I remember to take another photo.
Just to be different, we went with Michael & Barbara, George & Susan to the Safron restaurant this evening. We really must ask them if they do a season ticket special. It is getting to the stage now where you have to book tables there days in advance, especially over the weekend period. George only goes for the sticky toffee pudding!
