At the Island (Part III)


......

The ferry ride is always gorgeous ...





......

And I L.O.V.E the flowers over there. I've taken notes for possibly including in my garden next year!











......


Salads-in-a-jar for our picnic lunch on the sand...

......


 'I went down to the shouting sea,
Taking Christopher down with me, 
For Nurse had given us sixpence each--
And down we went to the beach.




'We had sand in the eyes and the ears and the nose,
And sand in the hair, and sand-between-the-toes.
Whenever a good nor' wester blows,
Christopher is certain of
Sand -between-the-toes. 




'The sea was galloping grey and white;
Christopher clutched his sixpence tight;
We clambered over the humping sand--
And Christopher held my hand. 




'We had sand in the eyes and the ears and the nose,
And sand in the hair, and sand-between-the-toes.
Whenever a good nor' wester blows,
Christopher is certain of 
Sand -between-the-toes.




'There was a roaring in the sky;
The sea-gulls cried as they blew by;
We tried to talk, but had to shout--
Nobody else was out. 







  
'When we got home, we had sand in the hair,
In the eyes and the ears and everywhere;
Whenever a good nor' wester blows,
Christopher is found with 
Sand-between-the-toes.'

~ When We Were Very Young, by A. A. Milne
