Here's a little look at the in laws house in Cyprus - i spent my days sitting in the peace and quiet reading my book here
This is the side looking towards the pool
and again looking towards the front
This is where i sat to do a little stitching, it's part shaded so was perfect, believe it or not I've never stitched outdoors before ........
...............but i could get used to it with this setting!
Here's a little glimpse through those trees
Towards the hills...there is actually a proper tarmac road over there now, years ago it was just a dirt road and of course Mark just had to drive over there! it doesn't look much but believe me it is high up and there were boulders everywhere at one point which we had to keep stopping to move out of the road! Below is looking right and towards the sea, although i think it is just about out of view from here.
Although i didn't stitch as often as i would have done at home i did make some progress on MW
The majority of part 2 is complete, although that little critter caused me some trouble! i think i stitched him 3 times before i got him right! the little mystery motif above the squirrel kept us guessing, lol, to my mind now it's stitched it looks like a turtle with something in it's mouth, Stevie thinks it looks like a (tiny) camel, lol. From this photos it just looks like a splodge! I'll take a better one next time and you can see. I'll save some photos for my next post and just leave you with a couple of Stevie-Leigh for now.
These two were taken at the harbour in Paphos
and eating out one night.
