...memories of being read to in the attic, where my bedroom was and with searching for the original (Sans Famille) books, beside the River Seine, with my daughter, in 2005.
/ Just kidding! / Honestly! / Just rewriting history, using photoshop. :) / They all thought it would. / O.K. / It almost did. / But it wasn’t meant to. / Wouldn’t have worked out. …

Stopping off at Malabar Beach – in those early days to relax on the beach in our new country, unaware of any sewerage outlets nearby.
