We’ve been lying low around the Guildford area and not doing as much socialising as we’d like, as I need to stay virus free, for some treatment I’ve been having. So all of our socialising has been outside, which has been perfect, as it’s been too hot to be inside! The summer has been absolutelyContinue reading “A Lonnnng hot summer”

After spending the last week for a while with my parents, I’ve been mainly photographing and cataloging my dad’s paintings. for a project I’m working on, I’ll hopefully post a link to it n my next blog. We left Huntingdon and headed across to Braintree, for what was to be another fun weekend with JonContinue reading “Enjoying the English Summer”

We started the week at my brothers place as I had a few personal things to take care of, then we headed back up to my parents. Although we’ve still got some medical things to take care of for dad, we’re getting there, with putting things in place to make life a little easier forContinue reading “A family weekend in the West Country”

Wow! it’s nearly 3 weeks since we arrived back in the UK and that time has really raced by. We’ve split our time between my parents, (which works well for Rach as her folks aren’t far away) & my brothers house further south. When we first arrived the weather was a bit hit and missContinue reading “Time with the folks and more fun with good friends.”

Our 3 Months are up in Turkey and as this is was our last week. We’d decided to take it easy and leave a few things to do when we return, Yep we’ve decided that we’re going to return in September although we’re not sure for how long. I’m loving our little daily routine ofContinue reading “Our final week in Turkey, back to the UK for a while”

We’ve had guests staying for the week, which has been great fun. Rachel & Keith rolled into town Tuesday evening and it was great to see them. Wednesday was a chilled day by the pool, but before then, Keith and I went for a early swim in the bay. I’m used to swimming alone, soContinue reading “Friends in town – A boat trip, an ancient city & good food”

We decided to hire a gulet for the day. A Gulet is a typical wooden Turkish cruising yacht. It has a large, rounded stern area which is well-suited for comfortable eating and lounging. Our skipper “Yas”had messaged us the night before to confirm that there were no issues with the weather, so on Sunday morningContinue reading “A boat trip and mooching around”

We’ve been pretty lazy since we arrived 10 days ago, just lounging around the pool and gazing out across this wonderful vista. But we have managed a couple of swims, another trip to the farmers market and some delicious dinners. On Thursday we received our first visitors here, Christien and his best friend Brad, whichContinue reading “Guests in town & the Saklikent Gorge”

We loaded the taxi with our 4 cases and a couple of boxes, filled with foodie bits, essentially provisions that we’ve taken a liking too and weren’t sure that we’d be able to get outside of Antalya, together with some kitchen utensils that we seem to end up buying in every country we land inContinue reading “Kisler – Kalkan”

We’ve really enjoyed the six weeks that we’ve spent here in Kaleici and although the last couple of weeks with the virus have slowed us down somewhat, we’ve still managed to get out for some interesting walks and some tasty lunches. We’ve met some wonderful people here, who’ve really made us feel welcome, but it’sContinue reading “Times up in Kaleici – Off to Kalkan”
