Another fascinating blog Simi. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. The Azerbaijan Region of Iran, its food and culture look so enticing. What a shame that currently the FCDO advises against travel there for British passport holders. I guess that, as an ethnic Azeri with family and friends there, you are much better placed than the rest of us to enjoy unhindered travel in the region. Go safely and keep the blogs coming!
Fabulous pics, Simi - and the descriptions of your travels - the landscapes, bustling towns & markets, the people you meet & the food, whether growing or being made/ tasted …are a delight to read. Thank you.
Too kind Sonia. It's been so nice to be able to share my travels for the first time here. Each year, when I come, I wish you were all with me. Merci. x

Thanks David. I appreciate your kind words.
Yes, it’s definitely easier for me to travel there and back; as with any country, it’s always easier for nationals.
My mum has been wanting to visit us for years but still can’t get a visa!
