Ah! Seaweed smells
from sandy caves
And thyme and mist in whiffs,
In-coming tide,
Atlantic waves
Slapping the sunny cliffs,
Lark song and sea
sounds in the air
And splendour,
splendour everywhere.

John Betjeman,
from his poem "Seaside Golf"

When I was down beside the sea
A wooden spade they gave to me
To dig the sandy shore.

My holes were empty like a cup.
In every hole the sea came up,
Till it could come no more.

Robert Louis Stevenson's poem, "At The Sea-side"

Welcome!

Thanks for visiting my blog; a picnic of ideas, inspired by living at the seaside.
