On The Beach
(Ok so I borrowed the title from Nevil Shute)
The rain was falling steadily as we approached the coast
That we could now be hardy was our ardent boast!
We had to wait within the car till the rain desisted
With the fervent hope that it wouldn’t be persistent!
After several minutes it had eased a lot
So we set off for the beach to pick a likely spot.
We found the beach quite busy with hardy English groups
And the sound of children with their excited whoops.
We picked a place beneath the church and set up our seats
And you may have guessed it, the rain came down in sheets!
We covered up as best we could until it cleared away
And then we sat upon the sand on a most perfect day.
The sky cleared up in minutes to a perfect blue
And the glorious scenery now came into view.
We sat there basking in the sun for quite a little while
And then wandered round the beach with a beaming smile!
Then we sat and read our books as the time went by
Until we had to pack up with a wistful sigh.
Church Cove weaved its magic around us once again
As it has done for many years, not just now and then!
