The first lot of stuff has gone on Ebay. The Suitcases have been dragged out, the boxes measured for parcels to go. Try as I might to keep my sensible head on (did I have a sensible Head! ) I can't help but be a little excited about our return. I have taken advice from the good people from this forum,Turkish legal advice and friends who live there. At the moment it's OK to go. We have to keep an eye on the situation. Which we are doing. If it changes,then our plans go on hold. In the mean time the clear out begins and the process of what to take and what to leave has begun. There is no better feeling than walking down that ramp at Dalaman airport and I for one,can't wait to be back.
