Final holiday snaps

Our nearly two week holiday has left me feeling energised and revitalised 
and all the tension melted away..

Everywhere around us they serve up Turkish goodness and surprisingly there is wifi almost in every restaurant :-)

Turkey blessed us with bright sunshiny days (every day!)
Scarlett Grace found a friend to play with 


Sand on my toes and dry crisp skin from the salty water is such a good feeling!

Life vest on is a must!

Torba Bay is only a 15 minute drive in to town where you can stock up with goat's cheese, sea salt, warm bread and fresh oysters

Being dragged in this little "sofa boat" behind a speed boat was soooo much fun we all laughed out loud - turned out to be my fave water sport!

Turqoise blue Aegean Sea lapping at our feet 
Most mornings I enjoyed a few chapters of my book before breakfast
Should you tire of swimming in the pool or sea, you can always take the (20 minutes only!) catamaran to the Greek island of Kos 
Aqua boy
 Surrounded by lovely scents of fig and pine trees

The mobile playpen we brought along was certainly an eye-sore, but a life saver as Munchie has started crawling 

Matching swimming trunks for the boys!
Taa-daa! Scarlett Grace pulled herself up to a standing position on her own

Our wind whipped beach and jetty, surrounded by crystal clear waters
 The hotel is  located only a stone's throw from the sea, which is ideal when you have a 7 month old!

Our hotel serves lazy lunches and starry suppers

A swimsuit is the best way to cover up a wobbly post pregnancy belly!
Lil man discovered the newly downloaded Google App on my iPhone during this holiday, and "spoke to" it (read NOT typed!), all sorts of funny questions


Bear and Seany learning to manoeuvre our friends' boat "Spellbound"

Holiday read


Currently reading Life After Death by Damien Echols - who was wrongly charged for the murder of three young  boys and spent 18 years on I death row before being freed a few years ago. I'm only on chapter six but I already love it- It is a brilliant, haunting, painful, but also uplifting story -  the perfect holiday read!
