The breeze whipped back their hair and tinged their\ncheeks with pink.\n\n\"It's good to be out of the town,\" said Sadie with a little skip.\n\nThey walked round the bay as far as Pickie Pool, the outdoor\nswimming poolnd. They had brought their bathing costumes.\n\n\"It looks icy cold to me,\" said Kevin, lookingstaring down at the green water.\n\"I'm not sure if I fancy it muchx.\"\n\n'Oh , come on, Kevin*.

They don't feel the cold so much.\" But he\nwent off to change and reappeared to join her a few minutes later.\n\n\"The first bathe of the year,\" said Sadie as they stood at the side\nof the pool.\n\n\"It's mad I'm thinking we are to beWe must be mad going swimming in May.
