Vacation From the Past

I've waited all year for this week to arrive. A week in the sun , and a long trip on a train Cornwall the county I'm going to visit pasty's and cream teas,calling my name Brunels, royal Albert bridge will welcome me in Liskeard the gateway as my last leg begins The train follows the river you can glimpse through the woods East Looe and West Looe come into my sight The smell of the sea and the call of the gulls Greet your arrival and the start of your hol's Tight cobbled streets with cafe,s and shops A harbour filled with lots of working boats A pier and a beach with crystal clear sea's Offers of boat trips to Polperro and St Ives crab fishing from dockside's and local ice cream You finish your day with a trip to the pub and a view of a sunset over the hills that colours the harbour , what a beautiful scene all brought from my memory with a tear in my eye as the people who mattered have long since passed by . 14/02 /2016 comp entry
