Sandy and Jamie’s Big Day Out

As we are reminded by the eternally wise creators of South Park, every good story needs a montage.

This one is about my parent’s whirlwind visit this month (these things always go too quickly), which took in many beaches, even more restaurants, quite a few kingfishers, and a lot of quality time with the grandrunts.

Have to reiterate thanks for the huge case of essentials and luxury items sent by everyone in Cannadia and dutifully carried by the folks. Life saving in some cases (see Tash’s blog re: chocolate and coffee).
