The First Swallows

...well actually it's the first camper of the season.

Down on the beach again today, where we met this chap and his dog. Ex- army, separated from his partner and bladder cancer- all that in a ten minute conversation and a nice man too.

I hope they're all tucked in tonight - it's blowing a gale and it's getting colder by the hour.

On the other hand we're listening to the opera and about to have some past and a vin blanc
