Summer is most definitely here! The beach is packed with aspiring
surfers taking to the waves for their first taste of foam based transport. As I
collect the flags after each session I can spot Chesire cat grins on the faces
of all our students as they carry their boards up the beach towards a well
earned lunch break.
Waves! We had waves
this week! The 2 week drought is officially over and Amo’s delivered a couple
of scorching days, despite the spring tides making teaching life slightly more
difficult. It’s always a blessing to arrive at the beach in the morning to
discover the June northerlies have finally decided to subside and glassy perfection waiting to be ridden.
Who else should grace these fine shores but...The Prime minister! Looking especially dashing in his Hof' style swim shorts. We saw the big man minus the suit splash about in the shores of the beach doing some hardcore boogy boarding for the crowd of adoring spectatators...
Sardine fest was as messy as always. For ten euros all you can eat fish and all you can drink beer I suppose it is inevitable. I lost count of how many beers/sardines I consumed but it must haveve been a lot because I woke up the next day stinking of fish and in a drunken daze. I remember finding an unmanned Sagres tap and helping myself to some beers for a while! It’s an absolute miracle I managed to stay on my bicycle all the way back to my flat.
Roll on the next few weeks! Thanks to all the guests at the lodge and Mother
Nature for making my life such a pleasure...
