Thank you Panagiota, I'm happy you liked it, I just wish they'd stop using pesticides because the bees are dying out. Tom

So reminds me of my youth and summer vacation from school. As we spent all of our days outside in the summer sun ,either dig farm chores, going fishing, swimming/ exploring. Great poetry my dear friend! A fav..

Thank you Robert, it was always the done thing spending holidays outside, today kids spend far to much time indoors. Tom.
