This week our normally cheery hero seems to have lost some of his optimism and enthusiasm following another misunderstanding and as a direct result of him listening at keyholes to private conversations. When will he ever learn?
He writes to his half-brother Malcolm,
Hi Malcolm,
Xui said I would be much better off with an iPad and I thought GREAT
we can keep in touch over the internet.
Wrong. This is his version of an iPad and I'm still getting
the eyedrops 4 times a day.
Oh, yes and we are in Turkey.

Here is the page I made for his travel book.
The images are of the temple at Amman, a Turkish carpet, Turkish Delight, Tommy Cooper who wore a fez (and was also a friend of my grandfather's, who was also a magician). I edged the page with a lovely piece of paisley ribbon. The postcard is stamped, masked and brayered. Stamps are by StampsAway and Create and Craft.
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments. I have so much fun doing this challenge and I love to visit all your entries and keep up with the stories.
Great entry
