Turkish Delight

Postcard from Turkey - as usual arriving a week after the Socks have returned home...


Dear All

Having a lovely time lazing around the villa and admiring the view from our infinity pool.

Sea turtles swim in the bay below us


Lovely beaches nearby with miles of sand and warm surfy sea


and funny little sand crabs that I spent ages photographing


Local market full of quality fruit and veg


A thriving family business where Granny kneads and bakes bread, Grand-daughter fills it and Father provides the freshly squeezed orange juice.  Perfect market breakfast.


A wonderfully therapeutic massage in a cave by the sea lulled by the sound of the waves. A Turkish Hammam where the Socks were steamed then soaked, scrubbed, soaped and stroked by a young lad.  All very restful until he broke the spell by chucking a bucket of cold water over us!

A perfect break to tide us over until a more active holiday later in the year.. perfect that was until the rather gruelling journey home to a week of cold and wet weather which has left us feeling like we need a holiday.


Normal blog service will resume shortly - probably.
