A stroll back in time... 1975 - 2021
I had the privilege of joining and then working as a member of HM Diplomatic Service for 35 years from July 1975 to March 2010. I then retired and started working as a member of the local staff of the British Embassy in Ankara in Turkey from September 2010 onwards to date. I have been blessed in my working life with friends and colleagues across the globe, many of whom are sadly no longer with us ! In part these pages are a tribute to some of the wonderful people I have met in my travels over the last 45 years - some may be gone but they are not forgotten!
I am doing this not as part of big ego trip, but as a present to my wonderful daughter, Melissa who built this site for me - canim benim - cok seviyorum ! If anyone else enjoys the site then I will be absolutely overjoyed but this is for MELISSA!
