Peveril Point. Dorset

Blue sky above on a warm spring day
Shimmering sea fills the south coast bay
Chalk cliffs give way to lush green hills
Wishing life could always feel this way

Birdsong delights amidst the tranquil scene
A look to the left reveals pebbles and sand
The view ahead of sea kissing sky
To the right, waves gently lap into dry land

Savouring this vision for future splendour
A moment in life never to forget
No concept of time, just joyful wonder
Anticipation palpable for the coming sunset

Sea salt smells now fill the air
Returning to base with a contented mind
Thoughts of this day nourishing the soul
A more beautiful view would be hard to find

Poole's Word On The Street

Whilst visiting Dorset recently, the following exchange was heard in Poole town centre:

A middle aged couple were sitting nearby on a bench on the high street. It was a Monday. The woman said to the man, "Let's go and have a drink in Wetherspoons".  The man replied, " You know I don't drink on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday".  The woman responded, "Right then, you can go and look around the pound shops while I have a pint of lager".

Manchester's Word On The Street (Spare Underpants)

After a recent night out in the city centre I caught the bus home and the inevitable flurry of phone calls were taking place on the journey. The following phone conversation was audible to most of the passengers :

"Can I stay at yours tonight?  Only if I bring a spare pair of underpants?  Listen, I am on the bus and I'm not going to get into this again with you".
