Tales of walking, eating, watching and playing. Vintage treasures and simple pleasures ... the things that make her happy.

Borrowing shelter ...

... from evening breeze.
Eating salty chips and crispy fish.
 For a while, 
the beach belonged only to them,
and a cluster of gulls.
She watched her men,
skimming pebbles.
Her little man growing so fast.

I've just ate my dinner and yet I still feel like I'm in a serious mood for delicious fish and chips after reading this post. I love this Jane, you have such a serene and calm life, I wish I had some of that, some of your very admirable personality traits.

A lovely poem to continue my day of reading poetry, writing, and musing; my favorite things to do. Have a lovely evening! Anita

What is it with men and stone throwing into the sea. I have so many photos of mine doing that over the years. And why do fish and chips taste so much nicer when you are at the seaside? Answers on a postcard please! Julie x

Lovely photos. They do grow up so fast don't they?

Are you in a beach hut? Eating fish and chips by the seas sounds lovely. And your seas gulls are enormous, compared to our Australian littlies :)

Enjoy your weekend, Tam x

WE also live by the beach, and I would not trade it for the world. Enjoy!
