Its July and I have just returned from visiting Canakkale again. I left the UK suitcase in hand and a list of suppliers to visit. Left at 2am to catch my flight, only to find the M25 and M23 were closed due to accidents so it was a stressful beginning to my journey. But I did make the flight, and had a wonderful time in Turkiye, meeting Jewellers, Olive oil farmers, and ceramic designers. I also popped in to see my parents and catch up on the gossip!). I have come away with my initial preferred suppliers list and already placed orders which should arrive in the UK in the next 4 weeks. So exciting!😊💖
