Jack and Liam, a forty-something gay couple in a civil partnership, decided to throw over the metropolitan rat-race, take early retirement, sell their homes and move somewhere warmer and cheaper. And just as he paints the meteorological climate warts and all, so he does the social climate, both of the ex-pat British community and the native Turks, especially in their response to an openly gay male couple living in their midst. The Anatolia Jack Scott conjures up In Perking the Pansies (a punning horticultural reference) is no Arcadia. “This was the eternal cycle of Anatolian seasons, six months of blissful perfection and six months of blood-boiling heat or bone-chilling cold.”įor those of us languishing under bleak northern-winter skies, these delightful, moving and uplifting memoirs of a year’s sojourn in Turkey offer a comforting reminder that the Aegean climate can be challenging too, both in summer and winter, with extremes that we in these temperate isles rarely experience, and then never for long.

Surely there is a bit of poetry to be got out of that?" Well, I should have told you that there are six cows who come down to Pooh's lake every afternoon to drink, and of course they say "Moo" as they come. Christopher Robin who feeds this swan in the mornings, has given him the name of "Pooh." This is a very fine name for a swan, because, if you call him and he doesn't come (which is a thing swans are good at), then you can pretend that you were just saying "Pooh!" to show how little you wanted him. Milne (JanuJanuary 31, 1956) tells us in his first book of children's verse When We Were Very Young, a particular friend to Milne's young son. It might surprise you to learn that Winnie the Pooh was a swan before he was a bear. |
