Sunflower Boy

Sunflower Boy is my son, we have left him in Madrid to join his mates  for a seven-week  European adventure. Family holidays with Grandparents are rare and precious  when you live on the other side  of the world. Ten years ago my parents joined us for a holiday in the South of France.

The little boy in the photo is now grown up he is 6 foot 3" This week reunited in Madrid, my Dad produced the photo Of course, I bought a sunflower and we recreated the picture.
