Rough couple of days

Had a rough couple of days, seriously wanted to be on the next plane back to the UK and decided I cannot live here in this "dump" for the next 2 or 4 years. I think a few things have contributed to this a) seeing friends/family b) having the freedom of a car c) bacon d) roast dinners. There are loads more reasons I can think of but I'd literally be here for hours.....

Back "home"

Here we are back in Istanbul after a 3 week holiday in the UK. As we touched down in England I immediately felt "home" however with this feeling came sudden concern - how would we feel about going back would we be ok? Walking through Birmingham airport and the first person I see is Mum I've never been so pleased to see someone in my life!

The next couple of days I spent in Coventry I went to Asda to pick up a few bits for our holiday in Yorkshire, it felt wonderful to be walking round an english supermarket mmmmmmm Cadburys mmmmmmmm bacon mmmmmmmmm Walkers crisps ooooooo I could go on......I got so excited shopping I even thanked the girl on the till in Turkish hmmmm.

Seeing people I haven't seen since last summer was lovely, catching up with friends, family, the kids teachers at their old schools it felt wonderful.

We had a fantastic 3 weeks the only thing which spoilt it was the bloody weather it was awful, rain rain rain rain rain rain etc you know the score! It was that that helped me to come back here otherwise I think it would have been so much harder to leave.
