This is the story that Simon, with whom I used to share a room in chambers, sent to me from Sri Lanka. It tells of how he crashed out of the Family Bar after a disastrous relationship with a former client, Catherine, abandoning her and her daughter Martha in London after a court case. However, more than anything, it tells of how Simon found faith, redemption and happiness in civil-war-torn Sri Lanka with Josh, the man whom he loved. Together Simon and Josh helped rebuild the lives of Sunil and his uncle, Raja, in the beautiful setting of Unawatuna on the south coast of Sri Lanka after they had lost everything in the tsunami. Simon and Josh never did make it to Sweden, Josh's home country. But yes, Simon, the water is warm.
