A summer jetty

Thinking of a cool vacation near water.

Tom: We used to spend summers at the lake.

Mary: A cabin or a tent?

Summer 1956

Tom: Both. The cabin was small and the kids slept in a tent. A heavy canvas one, it took ages to set up.

Mary: Not like the modern ones which pop up almost as easily as an umbrella. Well almost. It was near the water?

Tom: Ten meters back from it. A jetty jutted into the water, an old Frostbite tied up. That jetty, it was a place of magic, a place of mischief. You never knew if the fish would bite and there was a small boy always lurking to push people into the water.

Voice-over

Summer lakes lure us to cool pools. Especially from 35 degree city swelters. Better yet if there is jetty with a boat tied to it. Something about messing about in boats, as the vole said to the mole in Wind in the Willows.
