Blown Away!
So while i’m busy packing surfboards to sea freight to Sri Lanka, the British weather decides to put a spanner in the works!
Well, it’ll take more than the loss of render and a few bricks to stop the latest Paddle4Relief Project.
Barnstaple builder, Steve Bailey, will be doing what he does best when he is not fishing! Steve, who spent a month in Sri Lanka a few years back, carrying out building work at the local Pre-school, is always the first port of call for any building work. His twenty plus years of being in the trade are irreplaceable. He, and his trusty labourer, Mark, are a truely grafting combination and will have the house fully repaired in no time at all.
So, whilst Steve and Mark look after my house’s needs i will continue to concentrate on freighting around forty surfboards, bodyboards, SUP’s and surf rescue boards have been individually boxed by yours truely!
The boards will go to Arugam Bay Surf Club, Madiha Surf Club and the newly formed West Coast Surf Club to help the development of surfing in Sri Lanka.
If you have any unused, unwanted, old or broken surf equipment that you would like to donate to the young surfers of Sri Lanka then please email me.
Another shipment will be planned for later this year or early next year.

Windfalls! Apples!
These are real apples! Not selected for their colour, shape or size . . . . . but because they are apples! And these apples show real character, and taste like real apples! Not to be outdone, my father brought me a gift as well. All i have to do is skin, chop and cook! And then . . . . . . . . . . . . . blissfully eat with piping hot custard . . . . . . and cool clotted cream . . . . . that melts over the custard and apples! I guess the front door will be locked again, and i’ll be sat in front of the wood burner enjoying the spoils of autumn. Don’t try contacting me at this time!
