Mandy and Lawrence's Leaving Do

Mandy and Lawrence are leaving Turkey and returning to the UK. Many of their friends joined them at the Funky Forest to wish them all the best for the future.





We all enjoyed a fish and chip supper ...

followed by some lovely entertainment by Christine.

With dancing, quizzes and a lot of frivolity, I think we gave them a great send-off

Bye both ......

Our New Project

We decided we needed a rail along the wall of the top terrace, both for safety sake and to provide privacy. The canes that had been performing that job were getting a little past their sell-by date.



We bought the metal, paint etc from a local supplier and then Kevin put his welding skills to good use.

After a few hours work all was complete .... just the painting is needed to finish it off.

Yesilkent Hotel News

The hotel building site in Yesilkent where work was suspended because of lack of funds has suddenly burst into life and another floor on each structure has appeared, making it clearly visible from some distance now. This is a huge development in a small community ... let's hope they put in the infrastructure to support it otherwise the power cuts and water shortages in holiday season will just get longer and even more frequent!

Mosque update

The minarets have now been unveiled frrom their curtain of scaffold and at night they are lit up.

New DIY Outlet

This is the new DIY store that has opened up in the building behind the garage on the Akbuk road originally designated as the cinema ...guess that won't be happening now!!

Our 2010 trip to Thailand

Hi, sorry there have been no posts to the blog recently, but we have been warming up in Thailand for the last month.

We were visiting our daughter and her partner.

We visited a Crocodile Farm in Pattaya during our stay ...

there were other animals there also.

One of the thousands of bargirls in and around Pattaya.

I had a lovely Italian Meal on my birthday which was rounded off with a complimentary Limoncello from the restaurant.

We did find a little piece of Turkey while we were there ..
