Hi all

My name is Carol and I live in Didim. I am a retired Specail Needs teacher. I managed to retire early (lucky me!!)  I have a dog called Monty, hes 9 now and came with me from the UK.

I decided to live in Turkey as many do after holidaying here for many years.

I have lived here for 2 years now and have mixed feeling about some things. I do love it here but things do not always go smoothly.

As we speak, its raining in my house, the shop has run out of gaz and I''m frozen stiff!!!  ;D

Hi carolk!!..if it''s any consolation it was freezing here not so long back..the whole country came to a stop after a "bit" of snow...4 inches became "massive 5ft drifts" so folk couldn''t go to work!!even when the weather is fine many of our towns are overrun with feral teens.....stick with it !! you aint missing much here.....give monty a hug and when the gaz comes in buy a spare one :-*
