Okay, I know that Turkey is unseasonally warm but come on, its 15c at midday here -- and with the windchill it feels like -5!. Took off this morning to Notting Hill (Portobello Rd) Markets in search of cheap warm clothes. The markets were great, cut short by the sleeting rain. London is a long way from Istanbul and I already miss the vibrancy of that place. The UK is soooo subdued by comparison, and the weather isn't helping. Once I warm up I will venture out to the Natural History Museum which I suspect will be full of people trying to keep dry. Its been a bit of a travel whirlwind and its catching up with me, so this is definitely good resting weather. I'm staying in Chelsea, which is lovely, then Belgravia next week. Off to Cornwall early next week to see Mount St Michael and Port Isasc (where Doc Martin is filmed). Emire, you will be pleased to know that I have picked up a little Turkish and have drunk sooo much Turkish tea and coffee that I am now in withdrawl. Even did kavhe fali (Turkish coffee fortune reading), which was a hoot!.
Quick cuppa and I am off to brave the outdoors. Will channel my inner Bear Gryllis and fight my way through the elements to the subway... its tough, I know... Missing you all xx B
