April 2007 - Pictures from our last visit

Flowers

In April Kantara is full of wild flowers. Cyclamen are everywhere and the orchids are flowering. These are just a few of the wild flowers and plants in the garden

Many Yellow Flowers along the road to Kantara from the south

New flowers and plants on the terrace...

 

House Stuff

With all the pine trees, the roof needs to be swept now and again...

The first stage of the rainwater irrigation system was the gutters...

By the power of gravity, an automatic timer, and a mile and half of hosepipe, the collected rainwater can be redistributed around the garden. The hose is now camouflaged with stones and fir cones!

Work in Progress

New Decked Terrace: The area of the garden that gets full sunshine all day seemed the perfect spot for a lower terrace in the garden. The ground is cleared, the gravel is down. Decking next time - watch this space!

The Art of Recycling!

The water feature on the terrace. From this............

Bird-Boxes & Table

Some weeding to do.... and then some more gravel....

And finally somewhere to relax!
