Title: Hi
Post by: helenb on December 04, 2013, 08:33:59 AM: Hello! My name is Helen and my family and I came to live in Ciftlik in September. My husband Mert is Turkish and I've got two 12 year old boys who are going to Ata school in Fethiye. After living 20 years in the UK my husband was more than ready to give living in Turkey a try! Loving it so far. Would love to meet a few more people though...

They (and we) loved Ata, and recently went back for a look round which generated some great memories for them as they hadn't been in Turkey for over three years.

I hope you enjoy the forum :)

Looking forward to it. This weekend there is the Xmas fair on Calis Beach, could be a good time to meet.

Post by: helenb on December 05, 2013, 07:20:30 AM: Thanks for all the welcome messages. What a fab way to start my day! Simon, we've had our villa here for about 5 years but only came here for holidays. We knew Fethiye a bit before that but I think we've been lucky deciding to build here as we didn't realise what a beautiful area it is and also that there were any expats here. All bonus!
Thanks also for your advice about Turkish lessons. I'll definitely try the free one at the Nil bar. And look into the others too.
We'll be at the Christmas fair so hope to see some of you there...
