Wait for me, I want to fly too
Taken on the Sandhaven beach at South Shields, we were walking back along the harbour wall when we saw this classic view, the single child laughing with sheer delight and chasing the seagulls into the air.
Converted into tinplate to gave that timeless air of childhood pleasures, while remembering this once was a main job of a young child on the farms before childhood was invented.
