I have been transported to sunnier climes just reading your insightful article, quite prepared to ignore the more unsavoury or sinister elements lurking there! Good to know neither you nor Percy would be hoodwinked by creepy Gurov!
This seasonal post reminds me of Conrad’s Lord Jim: “… after a course of light holiday literature his vocation for the sea had declared itself,” with disastrous results. Watch out for those sea yarns, people!
Oh good! The darker undercurrents can lend spice or edge to the story all the same. Percy and I are very circumspect around strange men!

Brilliant Robert! I had forgotten that detail. Sea yarns . . . Now there's an idea for What's the Story? !
Thank you Derbhile. Glad you enjoyed it! Hope you get to go on a real holiday too!
What a delightful article - reading it is a holiday in itself.
