I thought I'd make a little chick for the baby, so he/she can hold it while he/she is tiny. I do so enjoy making soft toys, but apparently my grandchildren are too old to want soft toys!!!!!!!

It's small enough for the baby to hold whilst he/she is tiny, then the larger frog can come into its own.

Over the last few days Turkey has been deluged with heavy rain and storms. Luckily where Mandi lives, it's pretty flat and not very built up, so the water has got somewhere to go. However just a few miles away, Bodrum is built on a mountain side and as such, not a lot of open land to soak up the water. It doesn't help that they don't have drainage for roads!



This has been happening for the last few days....




I've not heard of any casualties but there are a lot of damaged vehicles and properties. End of season luckily so there's time to get things ready for next week

Oh well there are going to be huge sales in the car showrooms methinks ! Mandi has assured me that she and Doğan are fine, just rather soggy!
