Poems from Ken and Natalie

 

At last Monday's workshop we enjoyed meeting the characters in this photo of Ainsdale Beach from the 1950s. We had no idea who the children in the photo are (it's an image from a web page found here) but look how they come to life through the wonderful words below . . . 

Our family outing and granddad on the camera. 

Shouting action instead of smile, chaos breaks out. 

All wanted ice cream and sitting still was not an option. 

Granddad, “I wish they would invent a movie camera for us to use”. 

Mum shouts, “Time for tea” and off we trot, 

A great day out on Ainsdale dunes.

Tumble down the dunes, fastest to the beach

Sand in hair and clothes, between toes

Laughter fills the air, the sea still so far out of reach!
