I put on my colourful sunhat and stepped onto the beach with jandles on my feet. It was a scorching day, so I’d slathered sunblock all over myself. Sitting down on my  fluffy towel, I watched the sparkling, crystal blue waves. Enjoying some hokey-pokey ice-cream in the warm sunshine, I had decided to take a swim, but then the weather changed dramatically. A long and dark cloud blocked the sunshine as a gale of wind blew my towel down the beach. Rubbing my eyes furiously, I stood up with sand in my eyes and mouth and walked home. Typical Wellington.
