April in Paphos, Cyprus.

28 comments


We have just returned from a lovely holiday in Cyprus where we enjoyed some much needed sunshine and blue skies. I am now ready to go back again!

Here are some photos of the wild flowers along the coastal paths, the colourful display of summer bedding plants at the hotel and the orange and lemon trees.

Hope you can almost feel the warmth – I wish I could!


Wild statis looked so dainty and pretty and could be found all along the paths by the sea.

The hotel grounds were beautifully kept and each day the gardener arrived with more trays of plants!

The scent from the orange blossom was so lovely. I carried a small piece with me for much of the day.

I wish I could honestly say that I am glad to be home but if I feel that cold wind on me for much longer………………!!!

I know where there is a nice place to sit for breakfast just waiting for me to return!!

That all looks beautiful, Wildrose! So glad you had a lovely time. Why didn't you bring some of that weather back with you?!

Lovely pictures Chris, we really need some warmth here, never get those lovely flowers. Just put the heating on!

What a sight for sore eyes,Chris..everything looks so vibrant and warm ! so glad you had a great time..let me know if you want some company,if you decide to go back..I will willingly carry your suitcase :o) ..We had a pool at our hotel in Bournemouth..but only a lone Seagull and a Pigeon braved it,for a bath and a drink ! Lol.

It's nice to get away at this time of the year. Lovely pictures Chris - sorry you are feeling the cold!

Talk about wish you were here, I can understand why you`re missing it.
We seem to be going backwards weather wise, I`ve still got loads to plant out but we have had frosts again the last couple of nights.

Thank you for looking everyone, and if only I could have brought some sunshine back with me I would have shared it with all of you - honest! I would give a particularly large portion to Bloomer who painted a heart rending and poignant picture of her time in Bournemouth!!

Hard to believe that this is happening at the same time as our cold winds...it looks wonderful.

28 Apr, 2013

 

It certainly looks wonderful....no wonder u want to go again!! great pics!

Peace perfect peace! :O)

Oh, how lovely WR! I have had the pleasure of Paphos a couple of times too....but not when the wild flowers are blooming, and that makes it extra special. I know exactly what you mean about the cold wind, I'm really miserable about it. Thanks for showing your lovely hols, I tried hard to imagine the warmth!

What a beautiful place Chris . . . that pool looks particularly enticing . . . not many swimmers though! Never been to Cyprus, but now I'm definitely tempted, and love the orange blossom (I've been known to carry a single bloom around with me too - the scent is irresistible :)))

29 Apr, 2013

 

It came home with me and is now pressed inside a book on Cyprus!
The pool WAS cold!

I don't mind swimming in cold water - in fact I quite enjoy it, and after a couple of lengths it doesn't feel cold any more!

I'm glad you had a nice holiday. The photos are great :o)

Oh Wildrose, that looks such a pretty place for a holiday this time of year ... on my list of 'Places to see!' ... :o)

It came just at the right time for me and it was good to return to nice weather at home too.

6 May, 2013

 

Indeed ... it has been a beautifully sunny day here ... hope it's the same for you.

Next time you go don't drop your suitcase or you'll hear me cussing from inside it! Lol.
Shhh, try to look innocent, we're at Customs. ;-)

Beautiful place and I love your photos, pleased you enjoyed it, but then who wouldn't? not surprised you wanted to return, weather slightly improving.....

18 May, 2013

 

Yes, the weather is getting better and there is quite a lot of strength in the sun now. I did love that holiday - mainly because it came at just the right time.

19 May, 2013

 

Wow! I'm not jealous:-))

It seems such a long time ago now but I truly did love that holiday and it came just at the right time for me. It had seemed a long winter!!

1 Aug, 2013

 

It WAS a long winter .... lastet 'til June:-)

2 Aug, 2013

 

Sure did!!!

Our porch was flooded last night so perhaps it's back! We had only eaten half our tea when it happened so it was a double disaster :-(

Our garage has flooded twice recently, I stepped out of the kitchen to fetch something from the freezer... and splash ankle deep in water. The garage, although adjoining, is a step down:-)
