The Karate Kids

Before

Determinedly pounding the streets of Portobello, en route to their official grading. These guys mean business.

After

Basking in the glory of their new purple belts. Andy roars, intoxicated by his new-found status.

Actually, Matt was less than pleased by the cack-handed way I'd hastily tied his new belt. The instructor (who has a fine line in ribbing the kids) had taken the mickey out of my handiwork, and Matt took it a bit personally.

Soon forgotten after a bit of beachcombing on Porty beach, and a play in Lauderdale Park.
