The Boys

Finn wake boarding

The boys made the most of the sun, the pool and their holiday. Little has spent the holiday practicing his driving skills, he has moved up beyond the quad, past the dune buggy and is now allowed to drive his father’s Hilux [ baky or “The Raisin”] around the farm ONLY. As there are 75 acres of rough roads and sand tracks, there is plenty of space for him to practice his reversing/ cornering / gear shift skills.

Tommy wake boarding

Interestingly it was Finn I think, that managed to get the Raisin stuck in deep sand on the farm, the boys began digging it out in searing mid day heat. Tom then spun it deeper into the dunes and all were slightly irritated when Bossy came to the rescue. He simply deflated the tyres allowing them all to make a spitting exit.

Between driving [motor bikes/quads/cars] ,wake boarding, jet ski -ing and  thrashing around in the pool, the holiday seemed to go past in a flash.

Tommy and Finn have been back in cold old England for a week and a half and Little is just preparing himself to start high school next Monday. We have mountains of new school uniform to pack, hair to be cut..doctors to visit and then a trip to Cape Town this weekend to wave a very “senior school” goodbye to Little for his first term at Bishops college. A return to being a small fish in a very big pool.
