Sunday back in Stanhope

Well, dear readers of Wear and Dao,  we finally reached home about 7.30 am after the long wait for the plane, a long search for the car in the airport car park and a long drive from Manchester to Stanhope including a break for coffee and croissants.

Of course England were knocked out of the World Cup by France 2-1 after Kane missed a penalty kick ...so, disappointment on the plane!

Stanhope was and is cold and frosty as expected (that's why we went to Cyprus after all!) but pleasant enough nonetheless and it was good to greet friends on the street whilst out shopping.

Paphos was full of Christmas decorations and carols in the hotel, but somehow it just didn't seem like Christmas given the temperature ... Well dear readers we've bought Christmas presents and holiday presents with us and are already musing on the next holiday ... maybe Santander by ferry in early Spring?!

As for the World Cup it looks like Argentina are clear favourites now Spain, Portugal, Brasil and England are out ...
