Season's End: Wise Words:Poem

 



Season's End

Now we come to the season's end.
The passion of Summer has fallen  away.
Before the Winter's cold begins descending;
gentle Autumn will hold her sway.


From green to brown, from blue to grey.
From chinos to cords; from panama to fedora .
The days shorten and do not stay.
In sunlight the golden leaves effect an aura.


What mortal tale does mother  nature fortell?
Dying in glory and pausing 'till Spring doth amend.
An eternal circle causing our hopes to swell.
Perhaps for all, there will be, no season's end.

Wise Words.
" Never approach a bull from the front;
    a horse from the rear; or a fool
    from any direction."
    From motto on ' Best Western' restaurant .
     taken from " Travels on the healing road."
     by Neil Peart

And finally:
If it rains and is light
look for Rainbows.
If it rains and is dark
look for Stars.

WiFi for now

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

Toys for the Boys

Image
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.

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
