I’m looking down,
in this interesting place,
I haven’t been there before.
It’s very beautiful,
and such a lovely day,
I’ve always liked France.
I’ve been over the sea,
but the warm land
is even better.
I’m a seagull
is there any food here?

This image shows the rooftop of a building, with turrets and a sloping roof! There are different birds sitting on the roof, including a seagull. There are bird droppings all over the turret, chimney, and the roof.

What a great view they have. My father put the roofing shingles on our roof many years ago. I was always afraid he would lose his footing and come tumbling down! Never did! He would throw the old shingles off the roof and we kids had to collect them….hard job.

I think those huge seagulls are only happy when they have proper food – like chips! 😉

No kidding, offer them a single chip and they steal the whole tray!

Glad you liked that one, Diana. It’s a shame that it’s so far away to go to France for you, almost 1/3 around the world (I think). By the way, I’m reading young Erith at the moment… I am loving this!
