Great Escape

Grab the keys let’s get into the car
Raring to go, we won’t travel too far
Everything’s packed inside the car boot
And I’ve meticulously planned our route
To the seaside for a treat this bank holiday

Everyone’s excited as we get on our way
Soon we arrive at glorious golden sands
Children hold buckets and spades in their hands
As they dash to dip their toes in the warm sea
Paddling and playing together so contentedly
Enjoying their free time as a happy family

Rico Leffanta Date: 1/13/2020 11:30:00 AM Luckily, I can walk to the beach, but I have never forgotten Max Boyce's, "I see the sea and I want to wee" as the typical child's response! Well done, Jan!
