crop and looked back along the winding path that he had walked. He had gotten
further then he had though he would have. He paused at the top and looked out
over the sea beyond. The views were spectacular the blue ocean stretching for
miles in either direction and clear sky for as far as eye could see until the horizon
blended them both. He found an acceptable sizes boulder and swung his rucksack
off his shoulder as he sat down upon it.</span></p>

self as he pulled out a water bottle and pulled out a small package which he
put beside him. He opened the package and took out a pasty. It was a thick traditional
Cornish pasty which he had when he was a child walking along the costal paths in
Pembrokeshire when he was younger. <span> </span>He remembered
fun holidays where he and his brothers and sisters would go for long walks along
the costal paths. He could remember the bright sun shine and warm days filled
with walking miles and miles along the costal paths visiting the little
villages and cafes that periodical dotted along the path.</span></p>

back to him as he began to eat his pasty and drink his water. He could smell
the sea air which was being brough in by the onshore wind. Something felt off but
he could not place it. He looked around searching the sky until it suddenly hit
him. There were no seagulls trying to eat his food. He remembered one walk
where a seagull swooped in and took an ice cream out of his sisters’ hand. It had
landed nearby with an ice cream bulge in its neck looking very pleased with itself.

it over his shoulder before heading off along the path towards the next out
