Colour and sand and waves and colour and Indonesian dance and more colour and an articulate little boy who weaved stories and his baby sister who laughed with delight every time her mother smiled at her and their Dad, who’s just really really cool and also a storyteller, and then Mum, who can hold a baby to her chest with one arm, weave a headscarf perfectly around her ridiculously good hair with the other AND ensure neither child eats the shells from the beach.

Did I mention the COLOUR?
