To some, it seemed normal
they spent thousands to come
to this tropical paradise
took a fortnight away,
then sat on the sun loungers, out in the sands
feeling the burn….sipping sunny cocktails
to others, they pondered
why you would do all of that for one week flat
and spend the next seven sun-filled days
searching for shade and shadow
#Holiday #Memories
An Impromptu decision
walking across the sands
on the way to dinner
Part of the sands
deep, fast running
and trapped tween the grooves
Another , lapped by the sea
deserted, but for footprints
left by the shoes
Trailing, then disappearing
the route almost visible
on the way to a fish salad

Magnificient
All the girls on the Cretan sands go to great lengths to highlight their beauty
Understandably, its what grabs the boys attention
Veering an eye towards the girls on the sands
Everyone recognises a precious gem on the beach
Long flowing locks and Lashes to attract the most shortsighted beefcake on the
Line of white sands
opposite the cerulean blue sea
unusually – she’s sat – mopping up the rays on her own – but soon
she’ll be sipping cocktails with her new beau by the bar
6th September 2016
The scene Blackpool promenade – a local fish and chip emporium
family of four – Mum,Dad and two boys eating , outside in the summer sun – what else but fish? – haddock and chips
the two lads are asked would they like an ice cream
they say yes – meanwhile in the distance a seagull is watching from a safe distance
One asks for Strawberry the other Vanilla – and the boys wait patiently for their ice creams to be delivered.
The Fish shops cat appears into the Blackpool sunshine, purring away in the hope for some scraps of fish. She follows the waitress, from just a few paces away, as the seagull makes its move. The seagull swoops in – and is stopped by the cat – just as the waitress delivers the ice creams
Chaos ensues, as the cat and seagull rumble for goodies under poor waitresses feet. The Ice Creams land off target and an odd plate of leftovers lands on the floor
Cue the owner – avec sweeping brush and an assistant with two more ice creams – on the house – Cut to a Cat with the spoils and the Seagull with the scraps.
