TO TOM AND JOAN ...

My friends ...

We often think of you ...

And our holiday

In Turkey.

We saw so many

Striking sights ...

And some distinctly quirky!

Istanbul, the inimitable ...

The Bosphorus ...

The Golden Horn ...

Pergamon ...

Ephesus ...

Gallipoli ...

The list goes orn ...

And orn ...

And orn!

Full, fertile fields

Of plastic bags ...
Bopping and bobbing 

In the breeze???

Mind-bogglingly

Bizarre ...

Beside Aegean, azure seas.

Salt-water showers?!

A shuddering shock ...

Which made one

Somewhat sticky.

Restorative rice

“Nurse” Ramsey brought ...

When one was feeling sick-y!

Two manly men,

Plus canoe ...

And then –

Very nearly 

None.

“Expert canoeists”??

Don't think so!

I blame

The hot Aegean sun!

We have such joy

In recollection ...

Happy memories

Of wonderful places ...

And, thinking of you,

Dearest friends ...

Happy memories

Of beloved faces.
