Things to think about while working on this image:

  1. Many of us find being near the water relaxing. Would you prefer to be in a sandy bay, a working harbour or a river estuary?
  2. Do you have memories of boat trips on the river, in a lake or out at sea? What sounds, smells and feelings can you recall?
  3. People travel to the seaside by car, coach or by train. What do you remember about journeys to the coast? How would you like to travel there now?
