The second of our little furry friends from the hotel we stayed at in Kyrenia recently. Husb and I called him Felix because he looks like the cat from the Felix food adverts.

Husb and I were walking along the main road towards Kyrenia with the Kyrenia Mountain looming above us. Well, itContinue reading “Feeling The Mountains”
