Saturday 8 Feb 2014
The rain continues to drizzle, so we do a mix of plaster a day and then get rained off. Making the mix, peeling back the relevant tarpaulins, doing a square metre or so and then cleaning the mixer, the barrow, all the plastering tools and reinstating the tarpaulins is heartbreaking, for such a small area of coverage achieved.
So when we heard Mad Robbie and Sue were organising a walk on Saturday we were keen to get away from it all, but the electrician was due a return visit. In the event, he only stayed a few hours, fitted the fuse box, and left, just in time for us to put drizzle gear on and join Robbie, Sue, Pete, Edna and two dogs for a stiff uphill walk behind the waterfalls.

Reaching the top, where the track we walked meets a little road
Robbie had brought tea things, so we had a brew as it was only drizzling a little bit,
and we are British
This is the fabulous plane tree that marks the top of the track
The next day, despite aching legs, we gave it another go. The weather had perked up, and Pete and Ed fancied a walk, so we showed them our headland circuit near Dessimi, with views over to Vlicho and down the Meganissey channel. Lovely walk. Very wobbly legs after. We've been very active with the work we do, but it isn't the same as walking, as we rapidly found out.
