The Best of Times

 .Our holiday is over now.  We are home and back into the daily routine.  The clothes have all been washed and some of them have even been ironed.  It's almost time for changeover, summer to winter.  Almost.  The weather is still warm though I've put a duvet on the bed.  Nights are chilly.

So here are a few last photos from our holiday.



Sand and sea.  It's really shallow as you wade out, easy to dip in slowly.  The water was not warm


One of the sparrows that always hung around the dining terrace.  A good place for crumbs


Don't know why some of these photos are so darn thin.
I got an iced espresso every morning as I went down to the beach.  One of those insulated beer can holders kept the coffee cold for hours.  


Looking the other way down the beach.  After the weekend there weren't too many people around.  Just enough and just far enough away


Everything was a short walk away.  Our room was at the end of that red brick road





All lit up at night. 
Just us and the sound of night birds
And a bar with low, easy going music to entertain us when we sat on our balcony with a glass of wine in the evening

  3. Summer's definitely over here. Quite chilly this morning. Time to tidy-up and store things away until next Spring. I shall soon be thinking about long trousers!

  4. oh iced espresso, now you're talking, you can't beat it in Summer, it totally cools me down. I'll be getting those once the heat hits us here.

    1. Much better than just iced nescafe. I used to drink iced cappuccino but prefer the espresso now

    1. The night birds were delightful, and the chatter of all those sparrows as the sun went down and they got ready for bed

  8. "skinny photos"... lol. It might be the way you are holding the camera when you take the photo? Dunno. Nice photos anyway.
