And for a while the heat was quite intense as the sun shone down from the sky there was barely a breeze to be felt on our knees though the cloud to the east wasn't shy

Born to the sun VI
Born to the sun and born to a beach which I'm going to now 'cos it's in easy reach and today is my birthday and I'm sixty-three so a day in the sun makes good sense to me I'll be there with the Beans so it will be the best for good conversation, some laughs and the rest and this evening much later to Brighton we'll go for a meal and some beers to conclude the show

Awaking
There is sunshine today and I think at long last the Spring has awoken from slumber as forsythia yellow like a jolly good fellow has blooms on its limbs in good number

The free
I got up early the sun was a blaze it didn't feel much like a day for a laze so with coffee inside I ventured out there dressed up for the chill as I still have a care and greeted the day as it greeted me the sun as a tonic to help with the free

The older me
In spite of rest the tiredness lingers is this getting old? a way of nature telling me to do as I am told? I'm slower than I used to be and yet when sunshine beams I'm up and out there bouncing so I wonder what this means Perhaps it's just a vestige of the malady last week and my bones just need an airing to relieve the sigh and creak So I'll put my best foot forward use that energy to free the youthfulness that's lurking still inside the older me

Looming grey
From the window of my office looking south o'er Worthing town a looming grey above me told of rain soon coming down and yet the glow beyond that where the sea joined with the shore told of brighter things to come with sun shining once more and as it turned out t'was the latter which prevailed at end of day November chill with sunshine and no rain on homeward way

Sunglare shine
Sunglare shine on longshore drift the rippled sand aglow down here in early evening as the sunshine sinks down low Cool the lapping wavelets from the brilliance of day as barefoot here I wander whilst around me seagulls play

To spend a day
Came back to the beach hut the weather was fine and with no one else here the beach was all mine A warm breeze from the east blew in from the sea and the sun overhead smiled brightly on me And I knew this was better than work any day so it's nice to have one I can spend in this way

Summer in abandon
Summer in abandon grey and rainy every day sometimes very windy and quite miserable I'll say The sun has gone on holiday and left us quite alone which isn't very thoughtful as we're still stuck at home So long days lounging on the beach are absent at this time as are evenings out the back with a warm glass of wine But just around the corner August waits with bated breath so perhaps there is a glimmer for us here, the bereft

Born to the sun V
Back in the fifties and born to the sun a Thursday's child knew he had begun Growing up in the sixties never sun to eschew this Thursday's child was still nearly new And then cam the seventies formative years a teen to his twenties with joy and yes, tears

Perfect II
Mock Orange and the bumblebees buzzing in the sun spreading fragrance in the garden now the summertime is come The deepest blue of sky above the wisp of clouds, the breeze warm and gentle on my brow and cool upon my knees
