A prodigal return

Son Huw arrived back from two weeks in Croatia, minus both his Byronic locks (chopped) and his beloved smartphone (dunked). But I watched in astonishment as he unwrapped a vast amount of booty from his rucksack: bottles of various types of alcohol and oil, jars of honey and anchovies, strings of figs and garlic, cheese, almonds, and sea salt collected from the volcanic rocks among which he had been snorkelling.

He visited Split, Dubrovnik, the island of Solta and the lakes of Plitvice and took 1400 pictures. Of course without his phone he hasn't been able to blip since September 3rd but he plans to update his journal when time allows.

As ever, it's a joy when your loved ones return safely from another adventure.
