I’m a Londoner by birth, a cockney in fact from Canning Town originally. Aged 20, I moved ‘up west’ where I lived, worked and honed my office skills & telephone voice. London is and always will be one of my most favorite places in the world and I miss it.
Turkey is home now, it’s where I’ve lived for nearly 8 years and I’m married to Murat, an Estate Agent and owner of Didim Beach Homes.
I love to travel, to see new things, experience new cultures, discover new foods and generally learn more about the planet we live on. Fortunately I love Turkey and am quite happy discovering all it has to offer. It is vast and there are plenty of interesting places to visit so my wanderlust can be contained within it, for a while. So far, I have been to some absolutely amazing places but……. I’m not done yet!
Other loves include Ancient History (visiting archaeological sites), Food (eating not cooking), Writing (articles, blogs, lyrics, scripts, poetry), Reading (I’m a bibliophile), Music (can’t imagine life without it) and Photography (I’ll shoot anything).
Things I have been called: Shop Assistant, Secretary, PA, Reflexologist, Database Manager, Investigator, Columnist, Editor, Sales Director, Mum
Things I am certified in: First Aid, Management, Reflexology, TEFL
Things I will soon be certified in: Herbalism, Flower Remedies, Past Life Therapy
Languages I speak: English, Turkish, some Spanish & Backslang
Stupid things I have done:
Gone for an interview as a masseur, believing it to be a genuine masseur’s position (I’m sure you know what I’m talking about)
Fell off a mountain
Turned down tickets for a Bruce Springsteen concert
Last but not least, I’m tall, I’m a Virgo and a Chinese Tiger, Mother Nature is my Goddess and I love trees. My mind goes a mile a minute and I keep a pen and pad by my bed. I’m also very nosy so please, now that you know me, tell me a little something about you

Thank you for your kind comments. It looks like you have had an amazing 6 years!! Where to next?
Lucky enough to be able to work and travel. Planning to do Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. I’d love to visit Turkey though!

I see you are in Almeria? I took my Grandad there for a holiday, gosh must have been around 2002 or thereabouts. Have some great memories of the place and had a fabulous day with him at the ranch where they used to film the spaghetti westerns (can;’t remember the name).
I intend to have a good browse through your photos later
Thanks for liking my “Grandma Diary- Violin practice” post.
