Memorable Moments #004
« on: March 04, 2018, 21:06:43 PM »
Back to 2005 for this one.

Brenda and her sister had decided that we should take their mother, Doris to Turkey to celebrate her 80th birthday.

Doris used to go abroad regularly with her husband but had not done so since his death and had not been in the best of health for some time before 2005. She had lived alone for a number of years.

What an inspired idea it turned out to be. From the moment Doris arrived through until she had to return home she was treated like absolutely royalty by every single Turkish person she met.

On the evening of her birthday we managed to keep Doris out of the way while we “decorated” the restaurant at Letoon.

(There is a long story relating to the time it took to get Doris to the restaurant which you will find at http://www.calis-beach.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=40027.msg210667#msg210667.)

We eventually manage to get Doris to the restaurant and the evening simply “took off” and we had a great night thanks to the wonderful staff at Letoon and the many locals who came to wish Doris a happy birthday.

The family all set for the festivities.



The cake arrives.



The Letoon staff getting into the swing of things



The gormet chefs preparing the banquet.



The aptly named Twin Peaks entertaining my brother-in-law



And Mr Omer Sel being Omer Sel with the glorious Nevra.
