These gold coins are from my grandfather. My maternal grandparents, Pontic Greeks, were refugees from Turkey in early 1920's. He died at age of 105 & what little he had was converted to British gold coins - 2 have Queen Victoria & 1 has King Edward as heads & St George as tails.

I'm sharing coin pics because I've been researching Greeks who came from Anatolia (Turkey). I went to Bafra, Turkey in 2000 (this is where my grand parents came from) looking for people who may be connected with them. Below, after the coins is an excerpt from first page of book I'm writing about that experience.

Christmas baking done.

The dark cookies aren't pretty, but they are choc (ha!) full of black tahini and dark chocolate. They are incredibly delicious and I think they will fuel my next story with sugary goodness. My pants, however, will not thank me 😋

Caveat: though they are in the photo, no black beans were used in the making of these unholy treats!

Sitting at Queen's Wharf, Hunter Valley NSW, looking at rolling clouds, listening 2 Fontaines DC, "Roman Holiday". My head & body move 2 its rhythm. Reminds me of a song I wrote with a mate. My lyrics, his music.Wonder where he is? I've the lyrics on the cloud. Here they are "Fortune of Unloaded Hips"
