Not all lost Traveller’s Notebooks are found
But very fortunately mine was…
Travelling over a very, very rutted, gravelly and stony mountain road between Kaş and Bezirgan, on my motorcycle, my TN (made from a leather cover and Moleskine Cahier) popped out of my leather jacket pocket.

Later, a WhatsApp message (in English) from a local businessman saying he’d found my TN in one of the villages along the road and wanted to return it! Picked it up from his office in Kaş Town (and left a present of fresh baklava), and all is well again. The dents, scratches and scapes add to the patina and another story to tell about the travels of the TN…
