Thanks for asking , the weather has been very good so far with only 3 days of light snow , but it does not matter as I think I am living in the warmest house I have ever known with log central heating.
Doing anything here is so easy and cheap buying and registering a car, residency, full health insurance which covers you from the first day even with existing health problems for just 22 lira a month. good beer 1.10 lira a pint, 100 ml vodka with a bottle of coke 5 lira, bottle gas 35 lira, bread 1 lira, all meat half price of Turkey,1.12 lira a litre of petrol.
Have to say we feel so safe and secure here we have never switched the house alarm on since being here just like the last owner who said it was never needed , we go out without locking doors and windows , there is not 1 house here with ugly grills or shutters on, we never lock the car whether it is at home or in town.
We have great venues to visit casinos, cinemas, bowling alleys , top restaurants and proper bars and pubs , NO quizzes or karaoke.
I can honestly say we are living life to the full again, life just got a bit stale there in Turkey, but we do miss our friends of course.
