Sunny 779 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 When we went for our 7am daily swim at Ayayorgi this morning, although the air temperature was 25, the water felt distinctly chilly, and at last night's quiz at Ibo's I needed a pashmina as it felt cool. I suppose that summer is coming to an end. Soon there will be mists in the valleys in the mornings and heavy dew. :(I am definitely a summer person and while others are fanning themselves and saying how hot it is, I sitting there quite happily. As I said before my favourite temperatures are 30-35. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cukurbagli 518 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Anywheere in the mid 30s is fine for me, rather than admit that it is too hot I always think of it as being "lovely and warm". I still sweat but I feel better about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samanthaozkara 82 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Nooooo summer cant go! I havent been to the sea yet here in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Meral 495 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Yes, summer is gradually ending. One of our neighbours is digging over his garden, preparing to plant winter vegies like broccoli & leeks. (BTW, must remember to plant our parsnips soon, Sunny !) It's definitely cooler in evenings but I like it that way because it's more comfortable for sleeping (although I still don't even need a sheet all night). But we can look forward to beautiful autumn days, which is also a lovely time of year ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cukurbagli 518 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 But we can look forward to beautiful autumn days, which is also a lovely time of year ! The light in the early morning and evening is fabulous for photography too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samanthaozkara 82 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Thanks for the reminder Meral, I also have parsnip seeds I need to plant xxx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sunny 779 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Yes, I too have some parsnip and swede seeds that I want to plant. It always makes me feel a bit sad at the end of summer and the onset of cooler weather. I'll have to get my socks out as it's my feet that feel the cold first! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Abi 666 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I don't like parsnips or swede, but my feet like your's Sunny are the first to feel the cold and I get terrible chilblains every year sometimes I even get them on my fingers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jillian 1 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'm a spring and autumn person. I'm very glad the hot hot summer is finishing. I find that in summer one cant do much because it is just too hot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samanthaozkara 82 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Aw Abi, 2 of my favourite winter vegetables are swede and parsnips!! I really hope my gardening skills are going to work because I will not be a happy bunny if my parsnips dont grow. A quick question to all you gardeners .. if I put my parsnip seeds in deep plant pots will they grow just as good as in the ground? xx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sunny 779 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I think they need quite deep soil Sam, but as I haven't grown any successfully here I'm open to correction. I'll probably see some people who have grown them here tomorrow at darts night so I'll ask them for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ciftlikkoy13 57 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Those you think summer is ending should have been with us at Pamucak beach near Selçuk where the temperature over the past three days has been 37°C. Coupled with an exttremely warm breeze, the sea was soooo welcome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

angelaturkey 69 Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 Now you are all making me jealous as I sit here typing whilst looking out at the pouring rain in Surrey - thank goodness I'm back in Side on Wednesday - apparently very hot there today - keep the summer at least another few weeks to give me a chance! I have 7 x friends coming to Side with me this time - some of whom have never been to Turkey before - so keep that sun shining... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sunny 779 Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 We'll do our best Angela. :)Hope you and your friends have a problem-free journey and a great holiday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ciftlikkoy13 57 Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 This "Summer Ending" thread is not unexpected. It's a sort of Turkish thing I suggest. We have lived here now for over 14 years and on so many occasions when we have experienced a warm April day, one (or three) of our Turkish neighbours have told us winter is over. Also in late August or early September when the temperature has dropped. we have been 'assured', that summer has finished. Invariably, they have been wrong. Maybe "One swallow doesn't make a summer" fails to translate well in Turkish or perhaps it's because they have no experience of the inconsistencies of the British weather.

Sunny 779 Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 What do you mean "Turkish thing"? I started this thread because I noticed that the sea is distinctly cooler in the mornings and in the evenings I'm tempted to get my socks out as I'm starting to get cold feet.

But things may improve. At this time of year they often do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
samanthaozkara 82 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Dande and Sunny, have you see the clouds today in the sky They are looking a bit grey in merkez today!! How was the sea today Sunny? xxx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Abi 666 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 It's got really hot up here as well, was doing some gardening yesterday and had to stop and wait until the sun wasn't shining directly on me as it was too hot and today is very hot as well. Tomorrow I'm going to have to give Max a wash/shampoo in the garden so not looking forward to that as I always end up getting as wet as him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
