So with picnic, bucket and spade And sandwiches, posh puddings I've made Off to find an empty beach Flask of tea within easy reach Daringly, up to my knees I'll wade.
We'll all be buying our barbecue goodies And leaving off our coats and hoodies But now it's scarves and mittens And fingers a little frost bitten But not many months till bikinis!
So good to hear songthrushes singing Spring`s not far away, bells will be ringing Cuckoos and snowdrops And buds in the copse And supermarket tills will be pinging.
Now back to normal, what next I wonder? I seem to move from blunder to blunder But New Year fresh start Gives a lift to my heart, And blows the old doldrums asunder.
