I'd cycled down to the village's small beach, where a herd of cows were rambling among laid-up fishing boats, grazing on the sparse grass that poked up through the sand.

I watched the budding lawyers play cricket on the beach, a gaggle of boys, not yet men, burdens of life resting lightly on their shoulders.
