Mousehole

Sunshine.
Seagull shadows fly along the breakwater wall
over the rainbow colours of the paddle boards 
lent
awaiting customers.
Splashing in the water 
children 
their excited squeals echo the seagulls call
safe within the harbour
under a parents watchful eye
evoking the sights and sounds of summers past
echoing down tiny streets
of old stone fishermans cottages
now for rent - for a pretty penny
by tourists
who
having abandoned their cars
take their chances on foot
ice-creams and pasties in hand 
off in search of a bench 
to sit
and soak it all up!
