Rozel in the Fall



A trip to Rozel where I haven't been for some years - parking is always difficult but easier when children are at school. I love the beach huts, the date stones, the boats in the harbour. The tea rooms have gone. The Navigator restaurant - where you could "pick your own fish course" from their tank - has gone, now apartments. But the "Hungry Man" beach cafe is still, there, still doing great food! The lady behind the counter recognised me as "Facebook friend" which was a nice surprise! 

Rozel in the Fall

The tidal water gently laps the shore
Today, last blaze of an autumn sun
Like walking through a magic door
Before the cold of winter soon begun

The Hungry Man: good food to so enjoy
Hot sausage and egg roll, tea to drink
Watch the boats afloat, ahoy, ahoy!
Time to slowly reflect, time to think

Seaside houses, with date stones old
Weathered many storms over years
And what tales might they have told
About love and hope, grief and tears

This harbour, small, but such a delight
A memory to dream about tonight
