Arlo and the Lost Boys

Stringbeans in bright colours - like bunting on a windy day. Shouting and laughing, a team, a gang, a crew. Pirates and robbers and heroes, the lot of them.

They were a rowdy bunch; completely in their element. Boys together, hooray!

Arlo bloody loved them. He was at least 2 feet and 4 years younger than them but it didn't stop him from trying to keep up. Every now and then they'd let him and then by accident, on purpose they'd lose him and go back about their business. Their BIG BOY business.

Boy land. What a place to be. The action, the fighting, the shouting and the volume. All of it lived at a pace too fast to catch your breath. Too quick to notice that one game ticks to another and another - all with the soundtrack of swords clanging and bombs exploding.

Exciting. Viva la Boy Land!
