Like an Old Fashioned PictureBook

Come take a look with me in an old fashioned picture book,.
Patience, the girl we see on the sand with the squint and parasol low.
Sweethearts are sewn 'tween the cloth of her cuff,
A shell in her little tight hand; soon she'll be going away
With her bottle of sand tomorrow from the shores of yesterday.
D.Leitch


Just when we thought the weather couldn't get any worse, it didn't. So it was off to the beach for some serious paddling and messing around. Lovely!
