My Best Childhood Memory

Blog prompt #25

Blog about your best childhood memory

Oh, search the memory banks, Alice.  It will surely be a childhood summer holiday, where we nearly always went doon the watter, ie train to Wemyss Bay then sailed on the Clyde steamers down the Firth of Clyde to Dunoon, Kirn or Isle of Arran->Pirnmill & Whiting Bay - or Prestwick by train, or once, by plane to Bray in Eire.


So, the particular memory that comes to mind is of me looking into the sea at the shore, clear water and filled with pebbles in the depths. Similar to these photos taken on the Isle of Bute. 

Pebbles are fascinating; on Bute near Ettrick Bay, I searched for heart-shaped ones on the shore along from the arched bridge, which looks like the one on my card. As you can gather, Bute holds a special place for me, though I didn't discover the Undiscovered Isle till 2008!
