I could hear the wind running over the roof, rattling the tiles as it went. It made me stand and go to the window to take in the grey day. Admittedly it was the perfect day for clearing out the cupboard that needed my attention. The old photo albums crackled under my fingers where the decades old Sellotape had dried and was coming off. "Oh, what's this?" I didn't know that box was there. Cradling it on my lap, I lifted the lid. I was instantly hit with that smell...the one of sunshine and holidays; the smell of happiness! I checked the lid then lifted out the bottle of coconut oil.

As the clock ticked towards noon the cube of chocolate that sat on the saucer melted. The tea from the ornamental teacup had long since been drunk. I was enjoying the relaxed atmosphere of the resort after the excitement of the storm two days earlier, it had initially put a damper on the beginning of our holiday however it brought unexpected excitement. The changing current off the coast of the island had resulted in a visit from a huge sea turtle. He encouraged the photographers to rush for their cameras while the rest of us kept a respectful distance and enjoyed watching him take a rest on the warm sand.
