Grandpa and Sonny love walking
Strolling along on the sand
Or perhaps a dip in the water
With Grandpa holding his hand
Splashing about in the water
Frolicking in the hot sun
Enjoying precious moments together
Staying with grandpa was always such fun
Growing things in his garden
Fixing things in his shed
Falling asleep to a story
Whilst cuddling Grandpa’s old Ted!
poem by Judy E. Martin
and author of the delightful book: Rhymes of the Times
I create the shell pictures, Judy writes a poem inspired by the photo I send her. We are really enjoying sharing our co-created posts with you.
Another great collaboration 🙂

Thank you Laurie – hee hee! So you did!
All encouragement welcome – it might just push the idea up the priority list. It would be really good fun to do. I’m really so delighted that these characters are being so well received – you never know do you. ❤

They are delightful. And, at least around here, not all common for cards.

I sent you a couple of emails Laurie – I wonder if they went into Spam or Junk?

H-m-m-m. I will look. I do want cards. Is there a link to a site? Or should I order them directly from you.

They are in my Etsy shop but you can buy them more cheaply direct from me so long as you can use Paypal.
