Blue skies on the way

We have a beautiful blue sky here today, but when I turned on my computer this morning, the first image I saw was the weather forecast for London;  snow showers in the day and freezing nights.  To cheer you all up and remind you that Spring has sprung and summer IS on the way, here are some pictures taken last October on Bitez Beach.
   

I was immediately cheered when I saw all these multicoloured cushions and I think no matter what sort of a grump you are in, it would be difficult to stay miserable when sitting amongst them.  

I was impressed that the imaginative hotelier found brighter fabrics than are usually available in the markets . When I went on a hunt for colourful fabrics in Bodrum market, I was disappointed in the restricted choice. 

This was the jolliest one I could find, but  maybe the muted colours and smaller designs are understandable as the these printed cottons (basma) are usually used for making the ubiquitous  baggy trousers and skirts favoured by ladies in the villages, rather than furnishings.
