I'm back in England for two weeks before I head back to Turkeyland and I can honestly say I'm glad to be back to normality even if it is only for a short while. I've been spending my days pretty much lazing around the pool and cooking stuff at home...despite the entire lack of ingredients that I usually use...who knew I would have to fill half my suitcase with vegetable stock and cous cous when I go back. The heat is crazy at the moment over there and there is so much sun right up until 8pm. So imagine my minor depression at arriving in England to an overcast sky and drizzle...
On the clothes front I've been living in beach stuff such as that in the photo for daytime and going for simple and light vests, shorter skirts and maxi dresses for evening with a bit of accessorising so I don't look quite so drab. Nothing says miserable loner like a plain black vest and skirt...
One thing I am seriously missing is shopping. Yes the markets are great for interesting food and spices but Turkish fashion is seriously lacking. What one might consider a less popular and slightly less quality shop here, for example Quality Seconds or Bon Marche, is actually pretty much the norm for out there, with extortionate prices added on. Also, there never seems to be any central area or high street for shopping, just random places dotted around. I miss my high street.

    Going on holiday to Madrid in a week, god knows how I'm going to cope with the extreme temperatures! Any tips on how to make it more bearable? I haven't been on a hot holiday since I was about 13!!
