My friend Maria from Canada told me some months ago that a friend of hers, Marie-Louise, a lady from Belgium would be coming to Bodrum for their holidays and that may be we could arrange to meet. I thought it was a great idea and told Maria that the lady can contact me when she's ready. During month of April, we started communicating because Marie-Louise wanted to get some raw silk to bring back home and dye them herself. I was able to get them in hanks and luckily Marie-Louise had a GSM phone which availed us with a cheaper means of communication. We kept texting one-another and managed to meet with a few minutes delay by myself to our rendez-vous of 11 a.m. :) It was some minutes that we met and I already had this feeling as if I knew her since long and she's been a real good friend. Below is Marie-Louise embarassed (!) with her husband Jean cause he was working real hard trying to use my camera :)
We talked and talked, time flied ... Jean was a gentleman bearing with us. I had to be back home by 14:30 hrs and they had other plans ... I knew they had to use the line on their way back that goes not far from my house and offered them to come over if they can manage to spare some time and they did. I went to pick them at the closest point to bring them over. They were very sweet to bring me this wonderful hibiscus which liked it very much here :)
Unfortunately, the farewell arrived too soon and they had to leave ... Jean again was a wonderful gentleman bearing with us talk, talk, talk ... Below is Marie-Louise and me, photo taken by Jean with their camera :) So happy I met you both ... You are wonderful people and a great couple. If you ever come back to this part of the planet, you are always welcome here, in our home!
Got this recently and had an attempt to start but too warm. Will need to wait until Autumn next! Wonderful bellpull :)
