Once when my son was in reception class we were on the beach at Cabo Pino near Marbella in Andalucia. I suddenly realized he had disappeared and felt a sick panic as I scanned the empty white sand that dropped steeply into the sea. I was with my Belgian friends and we spotted a blonde haired boy in the distance, he appeared to be with a family but I found myself running over. My son was sitting making sandcastles with a small girl. I hysterically asked him "Where were you?" He glanced up at me with a quizzical look and replied "I was playing with Anna Maria". She was a girl from his class in London.
