Rock rock rock and sand was all that Virginia could see<\/p>\n
She had expected little else as she looked into the vast waters beneath her station<\/p>\n
It was likely that this sea stretched all the way to America and maybe beyond<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Virginia was wearing cotton skirt with pleasing blue and grey stripes and a white sweater<\/p>\n
Which she rather liked although she felt rather chilled in the light breeze<\/p>\n
Her worn pumps were the same colour as the bleached white rock on which she was standing<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She had left her mother who had an imagined wasting disease in the main bedroom<\/p>\n
As she had been told by supposed invalid that she looked pale and was in need of the April sun<\/p>\n
These amused Virginia as she had always had a pale complexion and deep ginger hair<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In her fathers study she had left a curious pink petalled plant which she could not easily identify<\/p>\n
This annoyed her slightly as her father would most likely be able to name the plant in a second<\/p>\n
She had found it abandoned on the church steps although it was not the day of flowers<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the distance a church clock informed her that the first hour of the afternoon had passed<\/p>\n
And that she had promised her younger sister that she would accompany her into the town<\/p>\n
As the ribbons had arrived a day earlier than expected and were waiting for them in an indigo box<\/p>\n
