The temperature is rising and summer is upon us. 38-40 degrees in Nicosia each day this week. Jessie and Angus finished school last week, and Sam and Anna will finish up in another week and a half. School doesn't start again until the second week of September, so it's a long break for them (and for us!). The kids have had a really good school year, but by this time everyone is tired so the end of school and the winding up of various activities comes as a bit of a relief. Over the last few weeks the kids have enjoyed taking part in the normal end of year concerts. This included Sam's 'graduation' from pre-primary school. He starts the equivalent of Yr 1 after the summer.

With the onset of hotter weather, many people head away from Cyprus to cooler parts of western Europe. Somewhat ironic that at the same time there is an equal or greater influx of tourists coming to Cyprus from Russia, the UK and elsewhere. We're planning to spend most of the summer here, but will head away for a few weeks in late August to Kas in Turkey, and we're also hoping to get across to Jerusalem with the older kids sometime in July.
So overall we're looking forward to a slower few months, hopefully with plenty of time in the water. Here's a video of Sam and Anna's year end concert, and also a few other recent pictures of the kids and various activities.
