Desperate for a book  to read during our last few days in Turkey and for the flight to Istanbul then home, I found myself in the airport book shop in Antalya.

There was not much choice but I was drawn to the “Wedding Girl ” by Sophie Kinsella.

“Young woman about to get married, all the usual stresses and strains but with a twist. She’s already married – to a gay American who wanted to stay in Britain. Somehow, she’s managed to forget to tell her future (real) husband and with only a couple of days to go, someone else tells on her.”

It had lots of twists and turns and I could not put it down…  an excellent read and finished in a week which is a miracle for me 🙂

I went straight out and bought her newest book “A Desirable Residence”…  but 2 weeks later and I am still trying to find time to start it !

While away in Turkey, Geoff gave me a fabulous birthday card by one of my favorite painters, Katty McMurray.

When I opened the card I almost fainted with shock !!

People that know me well, no that I have a “thing” about beach huts and over the years I have collected a few nice paintings

But none of them compare to the Fabulous painting that now hangs on my living room wall 🙂

An amazing Gift, from an amazing man 🙂
