And then there are the special places
Favourites, I guess you’d say
Places where I can find myself
at whatever time of day
I can count them on five fingers
and name them every one
Some work what e’er the weather
but are always best in sun
There’s the beach hut down at Lancing
(that’s got to be the best)
Mainly because it’s by the sea
where I’ll always be at rest
Two are up the river trail
the first at Beeding Gap
Secluded, near the water
and perfect for a nap
The second’s somewhat further
so we’ll usually go by car
But once I walked to Stopham Bridge
(though from home it’s pretty far)
The Ring just has to be there
on top of Chanctonbury Hill
As the view it gives of Sussex Weald
fills me with wonder still
Then last, but certainly not the least
There’s my garden here at home
A favourite when with family
with friends or on my own
We all have special places
where we’ll go from time to time
I’m sure yours are just as wonderful
and are just as good as mine
