Father Christmas was very good to me this year and brought me lots of gorgeous presents but some were extra-special! I especially loved three gifts which were bought in Istanbul....
....a box of Vakko chocolates .......
......decorated with a beautiful Christmas tree brooch which I could also make into a very glamorous tree decoration next year.....
A hammam towel, lightweight, more absorbent than a regular towel and perfect for the beach........
....and a wonderful hamper from the Olive Farm shop.......
