Did you see the lovely rainbow late yesterday (Sunday) afternoon on your exercise walk? 

 

Is there a paradise to be found during this depressing ‘Lock-Down’?

 

Andrew thinks there is. Having spent his youth growing up in Scotland, spending time at the beach was not a consideration. After finishing high school and thereafter upon graduation from University he spent time in London and thereafter his work resulted in him moving to various parts of the world viz New Mexico, Canada, Singapore and Australia. In Australia, consumed in his career, he spent time in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney whilst of all things, in his limited spare time, he began to develop an interest in the surf. Then by chance he and his lovely wife Kate stumbled across a place named Mollymook. Buying a house and mixing in with the local ocean swim group resulted in them making so many friends. Then ‘lock-down’ occurs. So the obvious choice for exercise was swimming in the ocean at Mollymook. 

Ed takes an interest, and begins to spend time with Andrew on the surf board and also in honing his body surfing skills. We pick up the story yesterday morning …..

Andrew and coach Ed who was wondering; “Do you really want to attempt body surfing in this huge swell”?

After a gutsy exercise work out, coach and pupil call it a day. No holding Andrew back, he loves Mollymook and the surf for exercise.
