Glad you've been enjoying your walks with Jake despite the broken arm - I was wondering about that. That's the great thing about a dog - there's no moping around the house when it's time for their walk! I imagine you have about four more weeks before being free again.

We went back once in '86 and the development broke my heart; I know we can't expect things to stay the same to suit our tastes but it looked like a concrete jungle. I had to laugh tho at the women carrying the sticks that certainly hasn't changed. we'd see the women walking with a basket full on their backs while the man rode on the donkey.<br />Seeing all that rubbish dumped must have made you furious especially when there is a public tip. I do find Turks, who love picnicking, seem to have no concept of taking their rubbish home with them. I've seen lots of areas spoiled by the rubbish they leave.<br />Lastly I was lucky enough to see the Hockney Bigger Trees Near Warter exhibition in York earlier this year, magnificent! Will there be a Back to Bodrum does Hockney exhibition in the near future?
