"We just had to leave, and we didn't know what we were going to come back to."
Speaking from his in-laws home, Ben Armstrong, 38, has recalled the moment he and his wife, Lucy, 37, rounded up their three-year-old son, their three dogs and some belongings, and fled their home.
The couple, who have lived in Souni, Limassol, Cyprus, for about four years, said they had lost everything in the fire on 24 July which spread over 100 sq km (40 sq m) and killed two people.
According to Cypriot police the blaze began in the village of Malia and more than 250 firefighters were deployed to battle the flames, which were fanned by strong winds and soaring temperatures.
"Everything is completely burnt, there is nothing left of my house at all, just the walls," said Ben, who is originally from Cardiff.
