Freezing in Altinkum

Well now, who would have thought we would be freezing in Altinkum?
We usually have a couple of cold and wet weeks, but this is just never ending.

The temperature is cold - in fact they say it is warmer on the Isle of Wight!
The wind is strong - nothing has changed here then.
The rain - well, forget the cats and dogs - it's more like camels and donkeys!

The hardest things to cope with are the mud and the damp. I guess that living by the sea is the source of the damp, and all the construction going on the cause of the mud.

But then the sun shines every few days and it is a welcome relief.

The bad weather certainly hasn't stopped the customers shopping around for good property deals. Both Turkish locals and foreigners are making the most of the price reductions and we are rushed off our feet. If you are interested you can look at my website for further details...

By the way - does anyone have any good natural cures for damp? One friend told me the best thing was moth balls and bowls of salt. I shall be dashing out to procure those tomorrow and I'll let you know how successful it is.

Rumour has it the weather is going to get warmer by 10C over the next week - roll on the sunshine!
