May: Admiral's Advice R.I.P: GRRMartin Update



MAY



A white, grey mist enshrouds  the meadowlands.
Unseen, but not unheard  birds cry out, with joyful appreciation.
A quickening of the pulses; a rooty growth emanating from 
 underearth.
The blades of time are changing and  seasons move onward

What can it be this feeling of rebirth,coupled with the harmony
of Gaia ?
It is May, the fifth step of the year  a light footfall  springing forward
to summer days ahead.
Maybe it is love, the trees and plants think it may as well be.

May I dare to suggest the light is creeping through the shimmering mist?
Yes it is so.
The grass caresses , the wind moans gently and the ground shows it slope
afore me.
A movement from left to  right at speed as a coney darts an exploratory
reconnoiter.
 Mayday; Mayday, indeed.


Raising my eyes upwards I espy on the summit a royal copse
illuminated by a wondrous shaft of sunshine.

A countryside benediction for May Hill,
This May morning.
May I be so blessed again.

Cheltenham Expects----  The season draws to close, with too many draws. Next time aim to be the biggest draw in the league COYR.

The above was my  last tweet of the  season. I have just seen today their last match v Dag. and Red.
The result ?  A loss 2-3.  Oh dear.

I am an  enormous fan of the author George R.R. Martin ( GRRM ) , the creator of the cult series " A Story of Ice and Fire, " which is being filmed by HBO as " A Game of Thrones "
Currently Season 4 is being broadcast on television, with Season 5 and Season 6 already actioned to be filmed.

GRRM has written five books of his seven series.
 Book 6 " The Winds of Winter  " will not be published until late 2015; so in the meantime I have been reading GRRM's back catalogue.
Here is an update  of this material.

 GRRM's books.

D, drove me home yesterday and as she did, I noticed this car registration  ahead of us.





Wouldn't  it be a nice story if the owner of this vehicle had found, opening an envelope that he/she had won  a considerable sum of money. At such time the owner would have shouted " Yippee! "
or as the legend on the car says " Y11 PEE ."

 Lovely stuff.
Enjoy your week ahead,
Cheerio,

Jimmy Uttley: God's Spring Blessing

Image
  Saturday 16th February Hi All, I want to start with a bold statement: we are all selfish. The more we age, the more we want to cling onto life. It's the old survival instinct. That's why it's important to pause at each Valentine Day and realise how important our family and friends are. The love and support they give us and hopefully we return; slows down that selfish gene and makes us glad to be human.  To love and be loved; makes us humble, content and lucky. VvvvvvvvVvvvvv My synapses, as you have probably figured, fire strangely.  Example: lucky made me think of gambling- having a bet - favourite jockeys; which led me  to Jimmy Uttley . Jimmy As  you can tell, if you clicked on the above link, jockey Jimmy Uttley, as far as I know,  only rode over hurdles, rather than fences. He will always be associated with the great Persian War, on whom he won three champion hurdles at the Cheltenham Festival 1968 - 1970  I have tried to look up further informa

Tuesday Glory: Spring is Coming

Image
When Tuesdays are glorious; the birds sing; the sun shines; the bright colours come out to play and all is well with the world. Such a day was Tuesday, February 8th, at eleven  'o ' clock, when I fetched up at the Sherborne National Trust Estate. This sign looked promising, but as I made my way out of the car park and into the woodland, no snowdrops were to be seen. But although the woods were still sleeping in the shade, some catkins were  in view. Reaching the road and turning right, I soon came by the nature reserve, with its gentle meandering stream. When I reached the nearby church, I beheld  my first snowdrops; a wonderful domesticated array of white, interspersed with yellow crocus. My route then took me, from the road, back into the estate. Here, through the effect of the sun shining on the ground; were further miracles before me as I walked back to the car.   A selection of images for you. All that was left to complete this excelle

Toys for the Boys

Visited Snowshill Manor,near Broadway today. I noticed near the Restaurant, an unusual replica wind toy, with back-up electric motor. Snowshill Manor houses the amazing collection of Mr. Charles Wade, with over 22,000 objects; including toys. Above is the original toy model, suspended from the ceiling in the attic of the Manor. The replica was built by volunteer Barry Silcock and took over seven years to construct. Although, it has been up for a season, it still has problems when the wind gets up, and conversely, when the wind dies, it needs a heavier  weight to start the electric motor up. It still looks mighty impressive though. As interesting as the Wade collection is;  I prefer the Manor Garden with  many arresting borders. Also because the Manor is positioned, near the top of the Cotswold escarpment, there is always the valley to look down upon. See also :  New Bits: Cotswold Coda 12/07/'10.
