After so many years of my daughter being very unhappy, to see her bubbling with excitement and that wonderful glow that covers her whenever she's with her husband, Dogan, just fills me with such delight. Now she's got a job, has her own car and life is being good to her at long last. She adores her hubby, who's a wonderful man and who adores her completely, she's got a part time job being a "meet and greet" representative for an airline company and as she works 3 evenings a week, she still has every day free! She's now got her own car, which means freedom and not having to rely on buses.



This was taken a couple of weeks ago and I just love it - she's looking so happy and relaxed - something that I didn't think would have been possible a few years ago.

This is her new car - her "beast" as she calls it. It used to belong to the wife of Dogan's boss, who'd had it from new, so she has all the service history and knows that it's not a "chop shop" thing.



Apparently the doors to the back slide back and I've been told that if I can't get into the front seat, {it's rather high up} then she can throw me into the side of the car!! I didn't think that was necessary.

The temperatures out in Turkey are quite high at the moment - in the early 30's, whereas over here in the UK, it's hardly that warm - in fact we are getting really excited at the prospect of it maybe even get up as far as 22C!!

This is her view today - it's her day off -



and then maybe she'll just stroll through the hotel {it's where her hubby is manager} and go onto the beach........



It's just gorgeous there and I can fully understand why she's so happy there. They keep asking me to go there and stay so they can care for me. This last scare I've had has helped me decide what to do for the rest of my life, and that's not living here on my own, worrying every time I feel giddy or "not quite normal", I can't keep expecting my neighbours to pick up the pieces whenever I am ill - it's just not fair on them. So I think I'll start planning to move to Turkey to be with them. It won't be for a while, but at least I have a plan. I mean - can you imagine how much fun I'll have there taking pictures of sunsets like this.......



I mean with scenery like this - how could I resist it?







Well when you add this to sharing my time with my daughter, her hubby and the myriad of their friends {most of whom I already know} and not being alone anymore - it is rather a lovely alternative to here. I mean I love my home here,being close to my son, the garden etc, and the near proximity of the beaches - I'll be close to the beach there, I'll have a garden and also have my own home but I won't be alone and that is just what I need. I don't see my son a lot because his work takes him away and he's trying to juggle his life, work and seeing me and it just isn't working for him. At least if I move to Turkey - he'll have a holiday and a rest when he comes to visit me!!

With this internet, it won't matter where I live - I'll still be able to chat to you all, and even skype those who I already do speak to.
