Colin, I like the last half of child best, in the first half
Sun falling on warm sand,
a gallon bucket from Granny's cupboard
for giant castles,
a trowel each from Grandpa's shed
for digging moats big enough to sit in,
a length of hose washed up
for siphoning water
from one rock pool to another,
watching it overflow to a third,
the list does not work or at least the obvious explanations do not.
I was surprised the adult was defined in negatives, of what was not there.
For balance you need to define some of the day by what is.
no paedophile chatting up the children
as happened in 1995,
may be there, but not be noticed until after the visit.
Smiles.
Gary
