Back in Lagos after two weeks of dreich Scottish weather!

It gets very hot around lunchtime in Lagos...no wonder everyone slopes off for a siesta!!  We resolved to do some exploring on our return to Lagos and have tramped all over this beautiful ancient maritime town.  There's so much to see and do, especially Saturday mornings with the local vegetable and fish markets.

It was great to see Millie (Mils) and her twin sister, Margaret again and to see how they've been managing in their 91st year, with various ailments, including a replacement hip operation for Mils!  Gardened at every opportunity (and there weren't that many!) and I think Mils is now encouraged to "get back into it" after two years of neglect.  Saw a few friends and watched Wimbledon, caught up in the euphoria of urging Andy Murray onto victory.  It was cold, wet and windy most of the time we were in Scotland and we still needed a siesta ;)

Slight change of plan for our journey across the Mediterranean....expect to be in Cadiz, Algeciraz, Balearics, southern tip of Sardinia, Messina, Corinth Canal and onward to the Aegean.  Will endeavour to keep the blog up to date.

PS  We've been listening to Radio Wimbledon who have been inviting followers to tweet them.  I tweeted for the very first time which was read out during Murray's short burst of glory!

Saskia and Zara with "Bubble Magic" at home in Deni.  Just love the matching jackets and that little pink hat;)
