She was out swimming too - realised something wasn't right, and being trained as a lifeguard - swam over, tucked him under her arm pit and swam him in to shore, no doubt Mary McCallumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07482261103185786111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298334170177578638.post-40319342487739273782012-12-18T23:05:36.803+13:002012-12-18T23:05:36.803+13:00Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Helen.Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Helen.Helen Lowehttp://helenlowe.info/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-298334170177578638.post-79033066177712948342012-12-18T19:16:28.610+13:002012-12-18T19:16:28.610+13:00I particularly like the low key build up of observ...
