Rhiannon from Exeter, age 11

The weather was cold, the winds were icy and the sky was a steely shade of grey, but Mary had argued that she wanted to go fishing. In the end her husband gave up knowing he could never win when Mary wanted something. She packed up her rod and net and set off. She had not been by the waters edge long but the cold had already got to her. She could not return home as her husband would go on about how she should of listened and how he was right and she was wrong, Mary never admitted defeat unless she had to.

Mary was quickly absorbed in her fishing and was enjoying the sound of the lapping water against the mossy rocks when she heard a crunching of gravel she turned round to find it was just a cat and that turning around was a big mistake as a huge gust of wind made her skirt act as a sail and she was blewn of the rocks and into the water. She went home dripping wet and never fished again

she has run away from her wedding and has bad nerves and has gone somewhere peaceful to reflect on the life she is going to leave behind when she gets married...

Georgie from Bristol, age 12

This is my favourite place ever. The air is soft on my face, the water sounds so peaceful, lapping against the shore. Away from the loud and rough life of the farm. I usually come down here when I have some time. I love to sit on the shore with my book in my hand, just reading and taking myself to a new world, where I have no worries or cares. "CASSIE, COME BACK HERE, WE NEED YOU TO BOIL THE CABBAGE!" Oh, no, the peace is shattered, off I go back to the house. Hopefully I'll be back tommorow, I really hope..

Peter from Scarborough, age 11

I am running away from my fears since i am lonely and my husband is dead i have no will to live. This is the end of the road for me this ice cold water will take my life. This is my river of tears.

I'm looking into the water, because I forgot who I am and maybe the reflexion of the sky in the surfase of the water, will tell me the answer...

This picture expresses a woman standing next to a river. The tones expressed in this picture give the true colour of light and help to create affect. I think this picture is peaceful and helps you to relax.
