✨
Stones in my pocket,
And chalk on the street.
Hippity -hoppity- hop, happy feet.
Do you remember when you used to play,
Out on the streets having fun all day?
Life was so simple, and basic was fun,
Marbles, and skipping, and kiss chase,
Run, run!
You're never too old for a hop and a skip,
Hey! Nobody's looking.
I dare you, quick , quick!
✨Over the last ten years I have had the pleasure of working with the The Covent Gardener on various projects.
This latest edition is all about play and so you can imagine how delighted I was when asked to do the cover. Here is a simple hopscotch scene reminiscent of bygone days, although the original idea was a juggling act which was taken in the Piazza . There are in fact two covers as the magazine has doubled up with the The Mayfarer, so I'm looking forward to sharing that with you too.
Thank you to all for your loyal following .
Eileen and the Little Mischiefs 😘
