Remember when we walked that day? You went there as a child and jumped from rocks into the crystal water; fishing; swinging from a rope. Remember when we walked that day? You went to reminisce; to recapture naivety. The innocence of a childhood lost to tainted maturity. Remember when we walked that day? The countryside unspoiled still. The sparkling river ever flowing; taking torrents of teeming water to the sea. Remember when we walked that day? My imagination placed me there with you - even though I had never been - but we were there, we two.... jumping into crystal water; fishing, swinging from a rope. Children laughing, chasing, teasing, then collapsing to picnic, exhausted by the adventure. I remember when we walked that day - do you?

I was intrigued by your title... a favourite place, real or imagined? The repetitions are most effective, and the mood you create is sublime. Best wishes, Keith
