An Inside Story: The Sea And Shrubs.

Inside Story

There is no light
Warm in this cosy nest 
Dimly aware of
Gurgling sounds in my ear
Stretching my limbs
I detect a changing pulse
Soon I will leave this
Watery cave.

Suddenly release;
A sensation overdose
Dazzled by lights
Lifted up and touched 
By affection.
I cry for a joyful force 
Within me.



Twenty eight days
Have left September. 
Nine hundred and
Fifty one years ago
King William landed and 
Laid claim to Albion

This day I have landed
On the loving shores
Of  mother and so
I lay claim to my new life.
Full of wonders; from
Crawl to Tall from
Boy to Man and from
Loved to Loving.

D. and I had a couple of days (4 / 5 ) October at Lyme Regis. As usual the weather didn't let us down. The sun was bright and the sea was calm and blue.

On our way home, we called into nearby National Trust Property Barrington Court, close to Illminister.


We had not been there for quite a few years, but we were glad we did when we saw the riot of Autumn colours in the splendid, beautifully, kept borders.

A most enjoyable visit and a fine way to end our mini-holiday.

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

Heavy Going in Wotton

Image
Started the new year with a circular Cotswold Way  walk based on Wotton Under Edge. It was over five miles in length, on a day when misty weather clouded the valley views. The ground was muddy, sodden in places; but temperature  wise, was good for winter walking. The rain largely held off; except for a persistent drizzle at times. The walk started from the High Street in Wotton; crossed the main car-park and then headed up a grassy track by the side of a school. This led, via a style into fields; which steadily climbed up until the footpath for Ozlewoth was reached. In a short while by turning left ; the walk joined the Cotswold Way  on its route back to Wotton. The picture above shows the level of mud and water, found on the track out to meet the road back to Wotton. One had to walk with extreme care! The conditions proved so trying, that rather than take this down-slope I continued down the road; until Wotton was reached. Net Neutrality Changing the subject, I feel
