I am a professional beach bum
Today I spent time on a wartime winch
I was writing as normal
But things were different
As I planned to put this poem
Into a sea bottle
And release it into the sea
A trivia perhaps but a fun thing to do
Happy Birthday
Totnes Railway Station
Jame and I miss you
And a mention too
For China Blue
Totnes Railway Station was opened on the 2oth July 1847
Today is the 20th of July 2022
Exactly 175 years have passed
China Blue is a family run business
Not far from the railway station
Jack and Jame enjoy visiting this shop
I have a doll which was a gift from Jame
I call it China Blue
After you
Totnes is 275 miles from this winch
And if I throw this bottle
Into the sea in the next three minutes
The journey of this poem
Will take (tides permitting)
175 days
Before it arrives in Totnes
Jame and I are planning to greet the bottle
On the January 11th 2023
We will then retire to China Blue
For buns and tea
