Lucky enough to have been able to retire early after a career in engineering and computers, I have now spent over 10 years on the road and over a quarter million miles.

4 seasons in one day!




I can't order or caption the photos, so work it out! There is no Autumn photo......

4 Seasons in one day.........

Autumn

We drove across the Turkish central plain, the earth bare, the crops spent, and the leaves turning brown. A constant drizzle from a grey sky. Definitely Autumn.

Winter

Then we reached the mountains, spiralling up into the clouds, crawling round the hairpins with the trucks. What a shock to see snow hitting the windscreen, pushing through the slush in low gear. Pine trees dusted with white. Snow camouflaged on white marble. And cold!! Brrrr.....

Spring

Then a long descent, easy on the brakes, out of the clouds, and onto a plateau. Green trees bursting out, not a hint of brown, deep blue sky, fluffy clouds and a fresh breeze. Could have been Snowdonia in May.

Summer

Turning off heaters, and peeling off clothes, a kiss for the first one to see the sea! Our first sight of the Aegean. So blue! Not Black. Summer still in full swing. A salty swim in the clear blue Aegean sea.

Food and wine, and asleep to the gentle sound of the van creaking and settling back down after it's exertions. When you live in a vehicle, you become one with it.

All in one day!

Turkey is looking and feeling good.
