Falmouth & Royal Greenwich Tall Ships Regatta 2014 Arts Project with Artist in Residence John DyerThe sailing tall ships come into Falmouth,
All the people are amazed,
Look around for their might be something to be found,
Look up, hoist the sails!
Smell pasties, warm in the stove,
Hear people laugh and cheer!
It’s really amazing that tall ships are here,
People play Cornish music,
See the dazzling fireworks end the day with a flash!
The Day I Saw the Tall Ships
When I woke up, I charged downstairs. There waiting for me was my dog, Dug the Pug. For breakfast, I ate my croissant with jam on it. “Bye Mum!” I said.
“Don’t forget your money and sun cream!” shouted mum.
I jumped on my skateboard and went to meet my friend, Joby, at the harbour. “There are a lot of people eating lot’s of pasties, candyfloss and ice cream,” I said with hungry eyes! As I looked around I could see the tall ships starting to make their way into the harbour. They were extraordinary. They were slightly rocking backwards and forwards on the waves and the crew were sailing them very carefully near each other. One of the sailors was my dad and it made me very happy to know he was safe and sound. I would be hugging him and telling him about what had been happening.
Me and Joby ate so much candyfloss that our tongues were red as a strawberry. Next we played on the beach and in the sea. When it was 9:00, we sat on the harbour wall, listening to BOOMS, WHIZZES and FIZZES of the fireworks. We saw gold, green red and blue shoot into the sky. “I can’t wait until next year!”
Dear diary,
Yesterday morning I raced down stairs and ate my breakfast as fast as I could. I put my shoes on and off I went down the hills to my friend Ceri’s house. She was already waiting for me; we were walking down to the docks when I heard seagulls squawking.
We walked down to the harbour. I saw the tall ships coming in, the closer they got I could see the bright colours of the masts and hear the crew singing sea shanties. As I listened I could smell the wonderful smell of pasties wafting from the bakery; it made me hungry. We walked into the bakery and bought two large pasties. I took one bite, it was… SPECTACULAR; mouth watering joy. They were the best pasties ever.
