Who would have thought back in November 2004 when I moved to Turkey with my now ex husband, expecting to live a more normal expat life, that I would be now be living 25 km from the sea in the family village.

I had always said I want to keep a pig and other animals but it seemed no one was listening. Even I never thought I would end up with 7 dogs in a country far from where I was born and raised.

But here I am and loving it.

And here I will tell our story.
