Taking a while
Finding what’s desired
Looking forward
To taking photos
Will try tomorrow
And see how it goes

Still moments
Transport me back in time
A quietude
Remembering when life was sublime
Tranquility
Dreaming your small hand is in mine
A calmness
Reminiscing when we were in our prime
.
Always loved
Forever missed
Never forgotten

Walking down Porthmeor Hill to the beach

Lifeguards will be on duty until the end of October

A few swimmers and surfers today braving the waves

Low tide in the harbour

Still quite warm

Smeaton’s Pier

Looking towards Porthminster Beach

Whoops….An unexpected cream tea

Saturday 5th October

Remembering my father, Hank
Group Captain Ivan Raymond Martin, RAF, AFC and Bar
4 February 1932 – 5 October 2009
Ten years
How can that be?
A decade
Gone so quickly
Missing our fun and adventures
Remembering you too, Frank
Darling Angel son

Porthmeor Beach

A little sunshine this afternoon was most welcome

A few surfers in the waves near the Island

A group of surf school students

Friday 4th October
.
Our love intensifies
Between the here and there
Growing stronger daily
Showing how much I care
Far across the universe
Connecting me to you
Binding us together
Perceptible and true
.
Missing you sweetie

Tuesday 3rd October
.
Out walking in the rain
Around the town and back again
Wet pavements, puddles in the road
Hood pulled down, shoulders bowed
A gentle mist covers my face
Like a soft, angelic embrace
.
Love you sweetie
Beloved Angel son

Heavy mist covering the Island

A damp Porthmeor Beach this afternoon

Wednesday 2nd October
.
And so passes another day
You’re not here for me to say
My love for you won’t fade away
In my heart, that’s where you’ll stay

A busy harbour front this morning. A German film crew were shooting scenes for part of a Rosamunde Pilcher film

Still very low tides at the moment
Tuesday 1st October
.
Your physical self
May have gone
It’s those memories
To which I hold on
Though the earth
Keeps on turning
It’s your real self
For which I’m yearning
.
Missing you as always
My darling Angel son

.
Day two without my phone
Just this older one on loan
Cannot find my calendar
That’s going to be a challenger
Remembering appointments
Not turning to disappointments
And no camera for your flowers
Getting drenched in heavy showers
I’m sending lots of love to you
Hugs and kisses, cuddles too
My darling Angel son
Now forever young

Frank and Luke in the garden of our house in Australia

Mornington, Victoria, was our home from 1990 – 1992
Happy days

Wedding boys

Aussie lads

Surfer dudes

Saturday 28th September
.
Watching the surf
In the pouring rain
Being knocked down
Standing up again
Blown by the wind
Over coming the pain
To stay in control
Of this watery domain
.
Thinking of you always
My darling Angel son
