Covering the Uk In a Weekend

This weekend was never planned
thinking back now it's quite unique
that we would cross every border
in the UK's boundaries never did seek

We came home on that Friday
from a week's holiday in Portrush
having enjoyed being in Northern Ireland
making memories not feeling flush

On the Saturday at home again
getting ready for our next trip
Scotland is the place we love best
despite our travels home's our ship

Although moved by a friend's sad passing
next, our travels take us to Wales
leave on Sunday to Wrexham bound
for Monday's funeral that drew down the vale

Tuesday left for England's west coast
to our favorite spot at lovely Southport
covering the U.K. on a weekend
now Friday leave for our home fort

(This weekend piece tells of us covering Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England in late April/early May weekend. )

A loving couple who start a wonderful holiday seeing the sights they most love in the UK, lovely faithful people who lost a friend who love Scotland and their home which is their star ship. Bless you both, hugs blessings, Jennifer.
