Nejdet's House

Do you remember the fire a couple of weeks ago?

Well you'll be pleased to know that the bottom floor of the house has been stripped out, re-tiled, re-plastered, re-wired and plumbed, re-painted and refurnished.

It has new doors and windows, the outside has been re-painted and Nejdet, Nurten and Lutvia are now back to normal again.

Fire

Many of you will know our neighbour Nejdet and his family. Unfortunately, this morning, although the emergency services were reassuringly swift, the bottom floor of his house was gutted by fire, and the other two floors were smoke and water damaged.



They all got out OK thank goodness, although Lutvia was really overcome by deep shock. All the neighbours are doing what they can to help, but, as with most Turkish families, repairs and replacement furniture etc will be very expensive for them, so if anyone reading this thinks they would like to help at all, please just contact us.

A Barbeque with friends

We were invited along with other friends to a barbeque at Noel and Lucy's.

There was a good mix of Turkish and European and a lively time was had by all.

The hit of the evening , especially with the children, was Mary's pup (Oisin).
