I am a professional beach bum<\/p>\n

Today I spent time on a wartime winch<\/p>\n

I was writing as normal<\/p>\n

But things were different<\/p>\n

As I planned to put this poem<\/p>\n

Into a sea bottle<\/p>\n

And release it into the sea<\/p>\n

A trivia perhaps but a fun thing to do<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Happy Birthday<\/em><\/p>\n

Totnes Railway Station\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Jame and I miss you\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

And a mention too<\/em><\/p>\n

For China Blue\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Totnes Railway Station was opened on the 2oth July 1847<\/p>\n

Today is the 20th of July 2022<\/p>\n

Exactly 175 years have passed<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

China Blue is a family run business<\/p>\n

Not far from the railway station<\/p>\n

Jack and Jame enjoy visiting this shop<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have a doll which was a gift from Jame<\/p>\n

I call it China Blue<\/p>\n

After you<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Totnes is 275 miles from this winch<\/p>\n

And if I throw this bottle<\/p>\n

Into the sea in the next three minutes<\/p>\n

The journey of this poem<\/p>\n

Will take (tides permitting)<\/p>\n

175 days<\/p>\n

Before it arrives in Totnes<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jame and I are planning to greet the bottle<\/p>\n

On the January 11th 2023<\/p>\n

We will then retire to China Blue<\/p>\n

For buns and tea<\/p>\n
