Autumn trip to the sea

We often go to Bridport, or maybe we just end up there.  It takes just over an hour to get there in the car.  There are a few ways to go and same return.  

We bought some hot potato chips from the fish and chip shop about 4pm and then took them down to this view and ate them.  We arrived home well after dark.






You can see Bridport at the top.

Happy Mother's Day

 A poem I wrote and a graphic I made remembering my mother on Mother's Day.


Happy Mother's Day to all mums where Mother's Day is recognized today. 


The night was dark, I was drawn to the Attic,
And there I sat on the dusty old box
My mind wandering back in the past,
To the sweet lady that's in my locket.

Complexion of peaches and cream,
Eyes that always smiled,
Colour bluer than the daytime sky,
Brighter than a star.

She walked each path of life with pride,
Head always held high,
Always smiled,
I thought of the sweet lady that's in my locket
With the young one by her side.

Today I remember her, today is her day,
- I always remember her -
For she is my mother, and I am that child,
In the locket.
