Larry’s Birthday – Mario’s Marina

We took the shuttle launch from our marina to Mario’s, we were immediately greeted by this little chap trying to sell us nuts at an eye-watering price. I asked for 30 pence worth just to be convivial. As quick as a flash his fingers were moving like greased lightning, price three pounds. How long did it take me to convince him that that really didn’t constitute the amount I really wanted to pay. His slightly bigger sister told him he’d blown his sale and off he eventually went muttering like a pro.

Soon the party was in full swing. Bear had the important task of distributing a next round to the boys.

While the finances were being sorted, I went off to photograph a ‘One Careful Owner’ in the marina
