This is a very long shot indeed but does anyone happen to know of a Turkish
company that makes large egg shaped lights for the garden. The ones I'm thinking of must stand about 4' high and have star shaped holes in them and are made of terracotta. http://i11.tinypic.com/8eaxapz.jpg -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

My daughter and son in law were looking at these only last year with a view to having them in the grounds of the Manor House Hotel. Decided against them because they look 'tacky' in such surroundings in daughter's words, but I will ask them if they went any further towards the purchase.

Electric, Charlie. These were in the garden of the hotel we stayed at and I haven't had an answer from them as to who supplied them. They would suit a customer of ours perfectly and they looked quite magical at night when they were lit up round the pool where everyone dined. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

But if you do a night-school pottery course you can make this yourself, probably as a slab or coil pot. These could be made in stoneware to withstand the elements, and possibly modified so they come in two parts (otherwise difficult to find a large enough kiln to fire them). A woman on a course I did made a beautiful Chinese pagoda type of lantern in several parts that all fitted together, each part about a foot high. In fact it's such a good idea I might give it a go! :) someone someone |

Aren't they just perfectly in keeping?! Lovely place, Bob. I am guessing that the 'eggs' at our Turkish hotel were sort of reminiscent of a communal cooking area used by the caravanserai. These were egg shaped roofs with holes in them to let smoke out. The restaurant at our hotel was in the garden, at the end of the pool, and its design was reminiscent of a yurt. Apparently, the architect is also the owner of the hotel. I'm usually more into antique than modern but the egg shaped lights were perfect in their setting and of course, some consider the egg to be *the* perfect shape. ;-) These lights were of very high quality, as to manufacture and the terracotta was thick, not flimsy, easily breakable stuff. You can imagine that at night the light shining through those star-shaped holes and reflected in the pool (sometimes populated by the neighbouring river's frogs!) was just beautiful. -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

This year, a lot of them did 'heads' and one of my favourites a couple of years ago (which I foolishly didn't buy before someone snapped it up) was a bath, complete with taps - it was clever and made us laugh! And we commissioned them to make some pots for the tea room window sills and others to be used as 'rubbish' pots on the garden tables.

Depends which bit of Turkey!.. http://www.enjoyturkey.com/info/usef...fo/Climate.htm Because of Turkey's geographical conditions, one can not speak about a general overall climate. In Istanbul and around the sea of Marmara (Marmara region) the climate is moderate (winter 4 deg.C and summer 27 deg.C); in winter the temperature can drop below zero. In Western Anatolia (Aegean region) there is a mild Mediterranean climate with average temperatures of 9 deg.C in winter and 29 deg.C in summer. On the southern coast of Anatolia (Mediterranean region) the same climate can be found. The climate of the Anatolian Plateau (Central Anatolian region) is a steppe climate (there is a great temperature difference between day and night). Rainfall is low and there is more snow. The average temperature is 23 deg.C in summer and -2 deg.C in winter. The climate in the Black Sea area (Black Sea region) is wet, warm and humid (summer 23 deg.C, winter 7 deg.C). In Eastern Anatolia and South-Eastern Anatolia there is a long hard winter, where year after year snow lies on the ground from November until the end of April (the average temperature in winter is -13 deg.C and in summer 17 deg.C). |

Time to change the email addy, I think. or use a mail tool like Thunderbird or Agent that you can very quickly train to recognise spam.
