Drifting in the stream. Another Spring's
Gone already.

Where I was brought up in the fens (I can smell the water-mint again now) it was very wet and marshy. People made a living, fishing, fowling, and peat-digging. In the winter there was a lot of flooding and homes were very cold and dank, so we eat a lot, for comfort and insulation. As a result most of us had quite generous waistlines.
Some of our relatives didn't like the life and moved from the meres and wetlands to higher and drier ground. There, no longer needing a high calorific intake, and influenced by different role models, they usually became more slender; even svelte in some instances.
We always referred to them as thin kin outside the bogs.

In our little seaside town we have an annual Teddy Bear race ('Ready Teddy, Go!").
It generates intense competition. There are two rival camps: one lives up the hill above the town, the other near the beach.
Every year we hold our breath. Where will the winner be from?
Last time it was a very close run thing, won by a Shore Ted.
