Last summer we went to a wedding in Eskisehir. I still can’t get over the weddings in Turkey. They are so over the top. I felt totally out of place in my dress. My daughter looked great and refreshing not over the top or glitzy just a teenager growing up!
I think the bride and all the bride maids changed about 10 tens throughout the night I just sat there laughing and thinking is this a model shoot or something! Somethings I will never get used to and this is one of them!
I was in London 4 weeks ago and was visting the new shopping experience at Stratford City. I was walking down some steps and had baggy trousers on, arms full of bags and had a stupid accident which I thought nothing more of until I couldn’t put up with the pain anymore.
I went to the hospital in Turkey and was examined by the doctor who pressed down on my knee, I actually thought I was going to pass out! I was told I needed an MR scan. I went home and thought nothing more until I was laying in the scan machine crying and shaking from being so terrified. I have never experienced this kind of feeling before and then I was told to wait a week.
Yesterday back at the hospital, the doctor said that I have damaged my bones but unfortunately we cannot translate it and I have yet more to come. 10 weeks of physiotherapy and to rest. Unfortunately for me my sister in-laws had been invited for dinner so no rest for me!
Hospitals have certainly improved from 15 years ago when I visited my father-in-law in hospital and everyone queued up it was like waiting to go the the Harrods sale on the first day. The difference was I was surrounded by people having to put on blue plastic shoe covers and everyone around me was smoking.
If you saw this safe what would you think about it ? What comes to mind?
Its really old and needs a clean thats my thought! Who has opened it? Who made it? Why is it there?

From the moment you were born I knew you would be my best friend!
It all began with one sentence! “Lets move to Turkey”!
It is a sentence I regret at the moment, its all so new and I’m missing family and friends in the UK. How will it pan out? Its all so uncertain!
It has deeply changed my life I have gone from someone that has always had friends around or phoning for advice to being totally all alone (even though I have my family with me) its actually lonely and I feel like the child at school who had to make new friends not the 40 something mother!
I’m not sure what will happen I have only been here for 4 months but we are in the process of moving again. My partner doesn’t like our flat and to be honest I’m not looking forward to moving yet again!
For the past 2 years I have lived like a gypsy moving from house to house, to family and friends and have been in this lonely state with a life on hold ever since! Will I recover ? Who knows.
