Hello All, I recently "re-found" this forum, (I seem to remember it went off line for a while?) thanks to reading that a certain chappy from Uzumlu was using it (Thanks, P.)
this is how I introduced myself a few years ago, things never work exactly how you might hope, but it nice to dream that it might . . .

Hi to all the good people of this forum, I have just joined and will gladly follow the protocol of introduction, we bought a villa in Kalkan in 2005 and have been back and forth 4 times since, (5th coming up this Friday....HOORAY!). We did the classic no no of buying on impulse whilst on holiday, but I am very happy to say so glad we did, otherwise we probably would have dithered around, thinking about it, and never got on with it! . . . . . . .etc.
. . . . and we are now starting the furnishing of our new roof terrace, and bedroom, so maybe we will look at Fethiye some more.
Sorry for rambling on, I am 54, a barber (hence all the rabbit!) and hope to retire to live most of the time in Turkey in around 3 years. My wife suffers with an illness known as fibro myalgia and whilst in this dreary climate of Blighty suffers badly with pain, in the sun?........not quite athletic, but vastly better!
That was written five years ago, and you know what? I am STILL working! Thanks to the collapse of the UK housing market my plans/hopes/dreams, have been considerably delayed.
Well, now the Villa is for sale, not because we have fallen out with Kalkan or Turkey, the Villa is beautiful and rental has been consistently good, but it was always too big to retire to. We are hope to either build a small bungalow style or maybe buy a log cabin style pre-fab place (any thought on them would be appreciated)or even rent somewhere, we're thinking maybe Patara, yabanci can't actually buy there, or yet another option somewhere near Fethiye, it's got plenty of flat land where we can walk easily.
I've probably gone past the boredom line now so I'll sign off, the forum will now be compulsive reading again thanks. Martin
