So its been a while since I blogged, sorry, was crazy busy back in Cardiff after my move from London and now I am back in Turkey.
I had the opportunity to visit a tiny village in West Turkey called Akpinar, where Ramazan's family to meet the parents, brothers, cousins, friends, aunts, uncles...you get the idea.
It was wonderful, a little challenging at times but it was great. My Turkish is not great so there was a lot of miming and translating by Ramazan but I think we managed just fine. So apart from missing lattes and internet, I loved village life! I love the you ate what you grew, there was no waste, you traded with what your neighbours were making/growing...ahh the simple life.
Fresh hand made bread, home grown lettuce, local honey, it was just the dream honestly.
I was super sad to go, I mean who wouldn't want this view? Plus I love Sasha, the dog <3
So from the village we travelled to Bodrum, WHICH I LOVE.
This is seriously the most dreamy place, its clean, warm, I can hear the sea, smell the sea, oh I love it here. I could live here! I love it.
Bodrum was dreamy.
I have a few more days here I think and then I am going to head home, sort out our life there and then he will join me for a Welsh Christmas. I can't believe Christmas is in a few weeks, seems all I do is countdown these days, I sometimes wonder if I am missing things by constantly wishing the days away?
In meantime, I have some students to see and finish up some writing projects and flat hunt as I was living at my parents but want our own space.
