One fine windy but sunny afternoon Jude decided to head off to quiet Pembroke to start training for the first marathon of the season. After sweating it out for around an hour the sea was too inviting for him to reject its advances. After downing a bottle of ice-cold water, off he went to the deserted part of the beach for a much deserved refreshing dip.
Spending a few moments admiring the sea crashing into the rocks he quickly dived in with his goggles and little did he know that he was going to be enthralled with such a magnificent scene. That part of the beach seemed like it was his private aquarium. Fish abounded everywhere, from tiny ones to other bigger ones. They ranged from the normal plain ones to multi-coloured ones and the ones that shone as soon as the sun kissed them with its powerful rays. Crabs abounded in their quest to find some food but quickly disappeared as soon as they saw or sensed something that was not right to them.
Amongst all this marvel Jude was suddenly distracted by a glinting object a few metres away from where he was. He quickly dived towards the shiny object and discovered that it was none other than a smooth stone that had its roughness taken away by years of the sea thumping at it. He decided to keep the stone as memory to what proved to be a unique and memorable swim.
