My mum used to tell me they were the souls of old sailors and the one that used to sit on her linen post every day was my great grandad :-) xxTeresa Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350697922935549188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-52452174036561764642016-08-04T07:34:10.456+01:002016-08-04T07:34:10.456+01:00I'm glad it brought back some happy memories, ...I'm glad it brought back some happy memories, Gary :-) xxTeresa Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350697922935549188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-83355274704597734342016-08-04T06:25:26.819+01:002016-08-04T06:25:26.819+01:00I loved reading this, Teresa.

The watching gulls are gorgeous, making sure they don't miss anything.
