Before we left the Seychelles Lou treated us to the short flight to Praslin Island which I had visited in 1977 and since then I have always fancied treating myself to a Coca De Mer which is the largest nut in the world and only grows in Praslin. (See pictures)

The island was and still is clean and beautifully presented but there is nothing much to do apart from rest and relax and enjoy the wonderful under-crowded beaches and the soft sands and beautiful blue seas and skies when you can imagine that you are in heaven with your lover by your side. (Or someone else’s) You ‘are in heaven’ no doubt, no phones, no rain, no stress, no screaming kids, no shit no sweat but plenty of good healthy food and loving long walks just the two of you alone to bond together and love each other with lots of sun sea sweat and sexercise plus a ‘love in’ at the end of each day and then again first thing in the mornings’ that is with her absolute permission of course! Dream on!

On the same subject (more or less) the Coca De Mer nuts were well over the price that I expected to pay up to a couple of hundred quids but some of them going for over £500.00 so I did not buy one, tight fisted sod? Yup! If you buy one you will need a green licence to get it out of the country and anyway what would I do with it. Knowing my luck I could get stopped at Gatwick trying to bring a bomb into this country because they are the size of an explosive device so forget about it! Best idea, save the money which Lou thought was heroic but she didn’t offer to treat me which I thought was miserly (just like pater) her attitude is ‘might find you one at the Car Boot Sales’ (no chance) what a tight fisted pair of buggers FFS!
