Hi there, sorry for delay, the drainage ditch people decided to splice through my phone line... the joy... took me 8 weeks to get too very precious about it I am!
Many thanks for the warm response.
Lmaddy, Turkish at heart, British on passport, got the residency waltz to look forward to next month.
We're all settled in, Hazel loves school, she's at Ozel Ata, can't recommend it high enough, I would never have been able to afford private education in the UK.
Loving it here and looking forward to the winter.
