With the Turkey Travelogue Posts finished, here’s a final post with a panoramic photo of Alanya that I took from atop the castle.

Garden Photos
Thought I’d better mow the lawn and check up on the garden before I go away next week – somehow I don’t see Anna doing it while I’m away. It’s all looking good out there and coming on well, so here are a few weekend photos from the garden. Enjoy.
The Garden in June
It looks as though June has brought with it the arrival of summer. So, here’s a few pretty photos from the garden.
A Marvellous Mauve May
I managed to squeeze a few hours working in the garden into my hectic weekend schedule on Saturday. I’d already mowed the lawn a day or so ago, so todays chores were tidying up the edges around the various beds and borders, weeding, cutting back and pruning a few plants and potting out some Rosemary cuttings. The...
Bank Holiday Gardening
I’m sure we weren’t the only ones, but we spent much of Bank Holiday Monday in the garden. I also went for a gorgeous swim in the sea. The water temperature was up to 9°C and the air temperature made it to 14.9°C so the cold was no longer an issue and I had a...
Bringing the Outside In
I thought it was time that we could enjoy the garden from inside the house as well as out. It does afterall seem as though Spring has finally arrived and the garden is beginning to look nice. Cleaning the windows helped. They get coated in salt spray here in no time so over the winter...
Busy Days are the Best Days
Sunday was a nice busy day for us – just for a change! As usual it started fairly early for me at around 6am when I got up, checked e-mails etc. and had some breakfast before heading off to Machynlleth in Anna’s Fiat 500 hire car for a run. My planned session was a fairly easy one...
Date Cake – with Crispy Coconut Treacle Topping
There must be something wrong with Morgan – he didn’t want the cake mixture scrapings from the mixing bowl!! Not to worry, more for me. His tune soon changed once he got to smell the date cake cooking though and I’m not surprised as you’ve never smelt anything so nice. I’m salivating too whilst waiting...
Garden Plant Stall at Borth Charities Fete
Amongst the variety of stalls that the Borth 2nd Scouts run at the local summer charities fete is a bric-a-brac stall that we always find quite depressing. We’ve helped out with it for a few years now and it’s never that exciting. Don’t get me wrong, we are of course grateful for all donations to...
Luxurious Aquarium Plant Growth
Just a quick photo to show you that the plants are growing well in our newly re-established aquarium. I’ve already had to cut them back and remove some a few times just to stop them getting too out of control and overgrown. There’s still a bit of a problem with algae though so we need...
