The first day of spring sees a Middle Eastern breakfast on the beach.
Under dappled light...
a bevvy of bamboo brollies...
gently shade a feast...
...of strawberries warmed by the sun
...haloumi grilled on an open flame
...pitta bread ready for filling
...and lovingly home-made Koftas.
Chilled lemon, lime and soda quenches the thirst...
As we celebrate the beautiful Sas.
Three cheers for spring!
