Hey Ry, I had not forgotten about Mario’s brother. The plan was that Toni stay with their aunt and uncle who have a cousin the same age as Toni. However last night that idea was knocked on the head when the uncle returned home from work with a high temperature and bad headache. Also we tried out the pop-up seats in the boot of dad’s car and as far as seating two gangly teenagers goes, we’d need our legs and heads amputated to get in, never mind where to put any luggage. So we shall travel in our car and Mario’s dad will have to take theirs as well. Mario wants to travel with us as he wants a ride in dad’s car so that will probably happen in the end. I put our destination in the sat-nav yesterday, it’s a place called Caister-on-Sea, north of Great Yarmouth, and the house looks to be just a few doors away from the beach which looks to stretch for miles in each direction. That will make it nice and easy to get wet as often as we like.

The two guys who I referred to as “toffs” don’t come across as being upper-class (although one gets dropped off at school by a chauffeur driven Bentley sometimes, which he gets to stop well away from the school gates!) and don’t have toff accents. One is the great-grandson of a duke apparently and the other one’s dad is a viscount. Both families are basically farmers on a grand scale. I’ve not been to their homes but am told they are very nice historic houses but not grand or palatial.

The place is not that “small quiet place” you seem to think. It’s not a city but the town has a population of about 50,000 or so. I don’t think I lack in self-confidence, if anything my mum’s disinterest and lack of empathy made me more confident than not. Funnily, if I get really mad about anything or anyone, I can hardly get a word out, never mind swear about it. I don’t often get angry; it doesn’t achieve much in my view. Mario does try and wind me up sometimes but he knows it won’t work.

I’ve been told to pack a minimum, “You won’t need much more than a pair of shorts, swimmers, a few tees and a pair of jeans. We won’t be going out much and the forecast is for hot weather. There is a washing machine and dryer if we need them.” as my dad put it. It should be a good week. We will definitely be getting wet in the sea as you suggest. Dad has already suggested a morning swim before breakfast – however cold it might be – “get you two boys toughened up a bit!” as he put it ……… very funny, NOT! He was laughing as he said it.

That poor postman! He must be off work by now with PTSD after seeing you and Ross like that; he'll be mentally scarred for life, poor chap. Sounds like you had fun though.

Over and out for now. Will try and write whilst away but not sure if they have wi-fi at the house.
