Summer Days

by la_spice @ Friday, Jun. 27, 2008 - 04:59:22

I have so many happy childhood memories so it's always lovely spending time with my grandchildren and share in their growing up.

On Wednesday I took them to the seaside and we had a lovely time. You can see more photos here.

Making Memories

We had a day at the seaside
We stopped along the way
We bought new spades and buckets
So we could have a play

We made a great big castle
Out of the golden sand
We walked long the shoreline
And you took us by the hand

We gathered shells and pebbles
They were washed up on the shore
You called them “nature’s treasures”
So we buried them once more

We made a boat together
With room enough for two
Then we sailed it round the ocean
Just like the pirates do

We talked about the sun
We talked about the tides
We laughed and laughed together
We nearly split our sides

And when the day was over
And we looked at all we’d done
We’d made some lovely memories
And had a lot of fun

That poem deserves to be seen by the world ! Quite enchanting with no flannel; very clear and to the point David.

Thanks - along with the photos it'll be something nice to remember a lovely day. I might get the children to help me make a collage of words and pictures. We may even include some shells and feathers too.

The day after I had "castlemaid's knees" from all the kneeling! :yes:
