I've been pondering our life here in Turkey today and realise how easy it is to take so many things, including random acts of kindness for granted. Today for us was an ordinary, out and about in the village day. Although nearly October I can put a load of washing in the machine, safe in the...

It seems that an ex-pat garden party has been arranged, and funded, by the Dalaman Belediye to be held at the Nil restaurant (by the airport) on Tues 7th June at 7pm. I understand that the invitation extends to ALL ex-pats in the Dalaman area, will be attended by local dignitaries, and that...

Its a joke, don't read if you are prudish.:blowkiss: It was Postman Pat's last day on the job after 35 years of carrying the mail through all kinds of weather to the same villages and towns in Greendale. When he arrived at the first house on his route, he was greeted by the whole family...
