Our Surfer Sam!
So proud of our surfer! He came second place at the Open Red Bull Surf Competition for juniors! It all happened so fast. Before we knew he had signed himself up and was competing :). His best friend Jay was competing at national level and came first place. An amazing achievement. They are both soContinue reading “Our Surfer Sam!”
Ruben in action!

The feeling reminded me of my childhoodContinue reading “Christmas at Haldemulla”

What a lovely afternoon we spent at KOLA yesterday! A vegan restaurant at Koggala Lake which recently opened and just as our BBPS club, the owners are very conscious about the environment. Hence we teamed up with them to plant a few mango, papaya, lemon and orange trees. Kids had so much fun and afterwardsContinue reading “Planting trees at Kola!”
ByeByePlasticStraws!
For the very first time since the lockdown, our BBPS team was able to get together this morning to do a beach clean at Dewata. A much needed one because the weather has been terrible the last few days with lots of plastic being channeled to the sea. The kids did great and so theContinue reading “ByeByePlasticStraws!”
A magic early morning rise…
It was magic this morning!!! An early rise with my boys on the way to watch them surf. What precious moments with my boys! It felt as if I was part of a movie… A gorgeous sunrise, perfect waves, tropical vibes and the sun shining still softly on our faces. I enjoyed every minute ofContinue reading “A magic early morning rise…”
