"THE REGATTA YESTERDAY"

    

WELL FRIENDS I AM BACK TO TELL YOU OF THE REGATTA YESTERDAY .

 

UP EARLY  I WAS AND ALERTS ALL FINISHED AND OFF I WENT ON MY WAY.

 

I TOOK MY DECK CHAIR WITH ME AND ON THE PROM I SETTLED DOWN.

 

THERE WERE A FEW EARLY CLOUDS THAT WERE FLOATING BUT THEY SOON HEADED OFF OUT OF TOWN.

 

THE  SUN BEGAN TO PEEP THROUGH  AGAIN AND THE SKY WAS OH SO CLEAR..

 

SO  I TOOK THIS SNAP OF SOME OF THE PEOPLE HEADING OUT TOWARDS THE PIER. 

 

 

A FEW YATCHS IN THE DISTANCE THEY WERE SLOWLY ALL TURNING OUT.

 

DOZENS OF THEM APPEARED QUITE SOON THEY WERE SCATTERED ALL ABOUT.

 

ON THE BEAUTIFUL CLEAR BLUE OCEAN AND I HEARD A GENTLEMAN SAY.

 

THAT THE BREEZE AND THE CLIMATE WAS PERFECT  FOR MONDAYS YATCHING DAY.

 

THE LAND TRAIN HERE IS EMPTY BELOW IT WAS JUST SETTING OFF TO PICK.

 

ALL THE  PASSENGERS UP WHO WERE WAITING TO COME AND WATCH ON THE FIRST TRIP.

 

 

MY CHAIR I PLACED THIS SIDE OF THE TRAIN SO I HAD A NICE SEA VIEW.

 

IT'S A LOVELY SPOT ABOVE THE PROMENADE KNOWONE  IN FRONT OF YOU.

 

WHILST THE LIFEGUARD AT THE SIDE OF ME CHATTERS TO ALL AND TALKS.

 

HE WILL ALSO WATCH YOUR THINGS FOR YOU IF YOU NEED A LITTLE WALK.

 

SO I TOOK OFF MY FLIP FLOPS AND PADDLED WITH THE SUN ON ME FROM BEHIND.

 

IT WAS RED HOT THIS EARLY MORNING  AND THE BREEZE WAS GENTLE AND KIND.

 

THE DAY WENT WITHOUT ANY HICCUPS PLENTY COMPANY AROUND ME TOO.

 

I THOUGHT WOULDN'T THIS BE JUST IDEAL IF I'D BEEN THERE WITH ALL OF YOU.

 

HERE YOU CAN JUST SEE ONE OF THE GARDENS I SIT IN OUT OF THE SUN.

 

AS ONE OR TWO OF THEM ARE SHADED GETTING BURNT ISN'T TOO MUCH FUN.

 

WELL THE RACES PROGRESSED AND I HAD A GREAT TIME BUT IT'S NOT TILL THE ENDOF THE WEEK.

 

I WILL KNOW THE RESULTS OF THE WINNERS THEN WHEN IN THE PAPER I'll PEEK.

 

TODAY I HAVE BEEN HELD UP WITH  OTHER THINGS AND I DON'T KNOW IF I'LL HAVE TIME.

 

TO HEAD OFF DOWN THE STEPS THERE WITH MY TOWEL TUCKED UNDER MY ARM.

 

 

 

 

OH IT DID FEEL GOOD MY FRIENDS DID THAT SEA RIPPLING OVER MY FEET.

 

AFTER ALL THE RAIN WE HAVE HAD THIS YEAR IT WAS SUCH A LOVELY TREAT.

 

I WALKED ABOUT TWO HUNDRED METRES AND SAT DOWN AND DRIED THEM OFF.

 

THEN WALKED BACK TO MY DECK CHAIR IN TIME FOR MY LUNCH TO SCOFF.

 

THE PROM IT WAS GETTING BUSYIER AS YOU CAN SEE ABOVE.

 

SO I SAT UNTIL ABOUT THREE'O'CLOCK AND OH HOW I DID LOVE.

 

MY DAY WATCHING EVERYONE AND THE YATCHS WHAT A WAY TO PASS MY TIME.

 

THANKYOU FOR ALL  YOUR KIND COMMENTS IN YESTERDAYS
