Grace woke up yesterday and says to me, “Can you smell that smell?”

“What smell Grace?”

“It smells like we’re going to Jeffreys Bay!” she says with great delight.

We’ve been in a little bit of limbo between our two holiday breaks, but today we’re on our way again to spend some time with the entire family – my brother and family are coming to visit from America! The Cousin Who Shall Not Be Named is the same age as Grace, and I think the two of them are going to have a great time together.

So after a brief interlude the holiday continues and we can start our year properly in two weeks time.
