I didn't think Costa had had sufficient exposure so far in the nostalgia trail so this post is to show all the things he was doing in those days.
*Swimming in the River Findhorn.
*Sailing in Findhorn Bay.
*Counting his Christmas booty.
*Skiing. That photo was either taken by him or by his dad, not sure which. They went skiing in France a couple of times.
*Making a snappy waistcoat. (Really! He always was better with a needle than me. It must be the sailor in him.)
*Chilling with a coffee, looking remarkable like Sandy does just now.
*Going up in a glider. That has to count as one of the worst moments of my life watching him being towed up into the sky by a hawser.
*Learning to light fires and open wine bottles.
*And finally.... a few years on, now with the sort of dreadlocks you get from sun, sand and salt air and not combing your hair - ever. He's the cool one on the right with red trousers.
