Armchair Traveller
White sands, blue seas
There is a Swedish psychotherapist who summers in Sardinia. Try this as a tongue twister to occupy idle and very dull minds during the journey in the hire car from Olbia airport to the Costa Smeralda. My 13-year-old goddaughter, her twin sister and my nine-year-old boy are neither young enough nor stupid enough to tolerate such things for very long but that doesn’t alter the fact that the Swedish psychotherapist (unlike annoying Peter who never did pick a peck of pickled pepper) does actually exist. She rents us half her villa in a small hill-top village. We found her three years ago through an advert in The Spectator.
