Last day of the old year and it looks as if Joan and I are to see some more changes. Richard came back from his Christmas visit to his parents last night and says he has been offered a villa in Ozankoy which would be ideal for him, so he is going to take a … Continue reading »

Spent the day moving furniture around ready for the guys to come in to knock an even bigger hole in the ceiling to take the new staircase. We moved everything out of the room off the hallway that we have been using sometimes as a dining room and put all this in to the area … Continue reading »

Joan and I went to the Christmas Fair at The Carpenters Restaurant this morning. There were a reasonable number of stalls there, considering the terrible weather we have been having over the last week and all the stall holders had dressed for the occasion in appropriate seasonal costumes. Guess we were all quite lucky as … Continue reading »
