A-Bay O-Kay

I’ve just arrived in Arugam Bay, one of the east-coast Sri Lankan villages so badly hit by the Boxing Day tidal surge, and I don’t think I’ve ever been so shocked. It’ll be a couple of weeks before I get home and upload my photos, but in the meantime it might suffice to say tthat the children of A-Bay are being schooled under a parachute anchored to half of a ruined school building (resembling nothing quite so much as a London terrace after the Blitz), and that the loyal staff of the Stardust Beach Hotel worked deep into the night last night, as they must have done every night for months, mixing concrete, thatching the rooves of new cabanas, and planting hardy shrubs in the poisoned earth. It’s good to be here, to see.
