And we used to call that holiday..

[BernieTeyze]

For years we holidayed for 2 weeks,sat by the pool in the day,Out for dinner every night,went on trips. Then went home saying how relaxed we were..

Where we flippin crazy..relaxed? We didn,t know the meaning of the word.  :

Spent the week with our first visitors, a couple and a teenager. They did exactly what we had done for years previously..boy it near on killed us! Sometimes I had to let them go on their own,or sent slik .For instance, now if we go out in the day, we come home home have our feet up and then spend the evening on balcony maybe with a barbecue..or do nowt! These visitors, my neice and her family were up and out, back in our pool,then got ready and went out again..Don,t get me wrong, it was lovely to see them and I enjoyed their company immensley..they said they felt really relaxed and had loved it here. 

we have all of September and most of October booked with friends and relatives..i,m hoping to find some energy from somewhere. I have definately settled into the Turkish way of life..yavas yavas.

Thats one of the problems of living in a holiday destination in a villa with spare bedrooms, everyone wants to visit, and you end up spending all your time entertaining them, or clearing up after them.  It may well be lovely to see family and friends, but while you were living in the UK they could call round for a coffee, or at the most a weekend visit, now its weeks at a time.  Bet you don't get so many visitors clamouring ti visit you in the chill of January!!!

We just tell family and friends alike that we don't "do" bed & breakfast, so they still come and stay in a hotel. We can then see them as and when. But we do find life a lot more hectic when visitors are here.

We've just had family out and it was absolutely manic...we enjoyed every minute of it...however we are very happy to have our own quiet, peaceful life back again
