Holiday Heaven

Another holiday year is over

six months to wait

till I see the sea again

Just the memories of a lovely week at the coast

to keep me going over the coming winter

We arrived in time for Sunday lunch

Roast Pork and Apple Sauce

Yummy Scrummy

After lunch

strolled down to the quay

where there was a Pirate Festival

A pirate band

singing sea shanties

and the Jolly Roger

flying high

The evening was still

with a lavender sky

the tide was low

with the boats at rest

the following days

where the skies were blue and the beaches deserted

we lunched on crawfish tails

sitting out in the sunshine

saw windmills in the distance

and strange street names

there were strange animals too

a llama in residence at the end of the street

a dragonfly resting in the sun

a grey squirrel

oblivious to us digging a hole in the bank

burying food in a winter store

tranquil pools

at a bird reserve

shell decorations

around the door at a beachside cafe

and beautifully ornate

chimney pots

sea defences

to hold back the high tides

and the last meal

before our return journey

what a delicious end

to a lovely holiday
