Spring in Yesilkent

As the weather has been so chilly and damp  this year, spring has arrived in Yesilkent a little late .

But the freesias are as ever very beautiful and well worth the wait. The perfume is almost overwhelming.

Down at the coast, the sea has been particularly calm and tranquil this week, but the water is still cold.

A quick trip to the UK

Not many additions to the blog recently as we had a quick trip to the UK

Luckily we were there for Mother's day and we took my mum out for a meal.

We also visited Southwold to meet up with some friends, here you can see a very unusual clock made from scrap metal. On the hour the men drop their trousers and pee over passers-by.

We also took the opportunity as the weather was so good, to visit the craft centres in Constable country at Dedham.

All too soon it was over and we flew back home to Yesilkent.

The seafront in March

As you can see, there's a way to go yet before the seafront will be ready for visitors.

Work has all but come to a standstill.

However, when things happen here they happen fast, so watch this space

It certainly won't be ready for Easter, but the Mayor says it will be finished by the 1st of May.
