Back to our bolt hole

Here we are again. It is our first visit of 2015. The weather is fabulous - hovering around 24C, just right for me. The house was still standing and all was mostly fine in side. Roland rat has been chewing the waste pipe again which is a complete pain as we installed expensive valves to keep him out. So he has either found a way past them, or he chewed them prior to the installation or he has been trapped between valve and loo all winter.
The cats have all reappeared including Bruiser who has not fared well this winter. We whisked him off to the vets for TLC and will pick him up on Friday. He didn't seem happy when we assisted him into the basket but it is in his best interests. Beyaz is fat and fluffy so she has found someone to care for her or perhaps she has become an expert mouser. There are a few new ones including a very handsome young Tom cat who goes by the name of  Mr. Fifty Shades. He has lovely grey markings.
Hil and Matt undertaking a spot of topiary.

Maybe we will have oranges this year.
Matt and Hil have been busy tending the garden. Our gardener takes good care of it but is not as severe at cutting back as we are. The spring flowers are fabulous and there are some lovely ones in the garden.
We were not expecting it to be warm enough for lounging on the beach but it is and Matt has braved the cool temperatures of the Med.
We've met up with some old friends which is nice and had a good evening in the Sunrise bar with Metin and Linda. Looking forward to our cake night on Friday!


Everybody here hates the trumpet plant but I love it.

Bougainvillea is looking good.

Matt helped out with the high bits.




Our front path looking fab.

Our lovely view.


So many pretty flowers in our garden.
