Mandi and her cats

When/if I move to Turkey to be with my daughter and her hubby, this place is where I want to live. I want a house facing the sea, it'll be my last move and for the first time I'll choose where I want to live, not whether it's close to a school or work, but somewhere I will look forward to waking up each morning to a view like this, and then sit down in the evening and watch the sun setting from my patio, perhaps with a small glass of wine (oooh the decadence!!).

This is a view that seems to be there whenever you turn a corner. It's not called the Turquoise Coast for nothing. These amazing places are going to be delighting my eyes in a couple of months when I go back to Turkey and visit my daughter. I can hardly wait.

This is a typical street leading down towards the sea in the Bodrum area. The typical colours of Bodrum are blue and white - so everywhere you go, there are blue doors or windows and beautiful white houses. So gorgeous, especially with the bouganvillea climbing all over the walls displaying their gorgeous coral, white, light and dark purple flowers against the white paintwork.
