Holidaymakers

I love to watch families with buckets and spades and fishing nets
and the little legs of the youngest going fast to keep up!

Thank goodness for Daddy's shoulders!
Now second daughter wants an ice-cream...

The surfers are happy when the waves whip up a frenzy
Who cares about the grey sky?
It's just a colour!

"Come on George, don't drag your feet, we're going to have dinner at the Seafood Café!

George: "I can't believe we're walking along the beach in the rain with umbrellas..."
Red umbrella says: "Cheer up! The weather forecast says it'll be sunny  tomorrow!"

The next day the sun returned and the wind blew the clouds away
 the holidaymakers were happy and smiles returned
and ice-creams were bought

... and the surfers put their waterproof sunscreen on again

and  the people-watchers smiled kindly as the holidaymakers strolled by!
They'd seen and heard it all before!

    Such beauty (it makes me miss the ocean), and what fun captions. I think I like the grey-skies photo best. Thanks for your kind comments on my blog - I do enjoy sharing crochet tips. :)

    Sandra, you are the best storyteller! You definitely could write little illustrated books. Very enjoyable, and I LOVE the image with the umbrella walkers - come along George! :) Great fun you give us passerbys.
