Surf and Sun


Tumbleweeds drift though deserted school streets and echoes can be heard in the underground stations across the city. August is witness to the Exodus. Summer holidays.

Every last family in London with small to medium children remaining in the city last Thursday morning, took an Easyjet flight from Luton to somewhere. It is no wonder why I went on holiday to Portugal and my luggage decided to enjoy a break in Spain; it was either confused to be packed among the mass of cute little Trunki or running away.

Eventually we made it the safety of the pool. (Thanks to Mel for loaning me clothes, bags, sun lotion, hair care, bodywash, toothpaste, bathing costumes, towels, sarongs, etc.)

My theory is that she clothed me because she couldn’t bear to have me sun bathe nude. (I couldn’t stomach it either.)

Thanks very much to the Lyons family for letting us stay in their home.

Thanks to Ade and Mel for taking us to the western most point of Europe.

And thanks to the sun for never giving up on us.

Even Drew soaked up sun and waves.

He’s so handsome in his new pinky brown skin. In fact, I’ll see you all later…

  1. I’m so glad you got to go on a real holiday (as opposed to being worn out jetsetting across the Atlantic)! You both deserve a break! Love you – can’t wait for you to meet Balin at Christmas 🙂
