In and out


Spent a great day in and out of the water - sunned sanded and salt sea sprayed, soaked in shimmering light.

When I was a kid I used to go down the hill to a sort of alternative disco kind of thing on a Tuesday night - they always used to end with this one, the first notes of which bring back the teenage angst, the longing, the regrets - why did I never walk across the floor and talk to her? The long blonde hair, the loose white dress. Great Auntie Tess - a year older - 16, to my mere 15 - but back then a year meant so much. So near but so far, etc.

Mind you, we got there in the end.
