Many thanks for all the lovely welcome messages. Most appreciated.
Like your sense of humour Tony.
As for 'Braveheart', I can tell everyone that he does not look one bit like Mel Gibson, but he is Scottish ! He also has the distinction of being my Leslie No Mates only friend (kidding)
For those that do not know Uzumlu. It is so pretty & peaceful up there and only 20 minutes from town. Yes, it is colder than Calis at night, but up to now, we have experienced very warm & sunny days.
We moved from Aydin Kent Sitesi (near the Zakkum Villas). Aydin Kent is a small complex of 12 houses and I think that when you are new here, you need the comfort and support of neighbours.(Turkish & English)
This was a really good start to our life in Turkey, but after a while we decided we wanted to settle somewhere else and perhaps build a bungalow and have a bigger garden.(both achieved !) We spent quite a long time looking at different locations but the first time we saw Uzumlu, we fell in love with it. We are now looking forward to seeing a colourful garden next spring , thanks to all the bulbs kindly donated by Mrs Braveheart.
