Vetch's in a child's eye
August 12, 2007 Edition 1
Year 2014:
A 9-year-old girl carefully reads through the diver's logbook, hanging on every word with fascination.
"Where is this 'Vetch's Pier' where you and my Dad dived when he was small, Granddad?
"Please can I dive there with you too?"
The man sighs and looks wistfully to the sky.
"It has gone, Sinney, swallowed up by greedy men, whose only thought was for money, but I have a picture of it."
A look of disbelief crosses the child's face.
"Had you dived there enough - or didn't you care about me?"
