Old Daydreams : Photos

A bright shaft of sunshine

flowed through the windows.

Warmth enveloped the morning 

space.

“Slowhand “ percolated my ears.

A breeze of contentment settled

in the room.

No talk plundered the atmosphere.

All was good.

Time, did of course move on

 and imperceptibly the comfort

bubble began to disperse ; 

allowing the emotional winds

 engage the present circumstances.

Filled gaps
shelves,

Dust collecting.
Just stacked,
neatly or
untidy.

Seldom -
looked at;
but comfort
drawn

Perhaps now
I need a

Why ?
because

a relentless

The clouds

Wise Words


"Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain.
It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't
learned the meaning of friendship, you haven't really learned
anything."
Muhammad Ali.

I was tired of these cold mornings and now
increasingly blustery conditions; until
 I realised it was the Cheltenham Races
next week, traditionally, cold wet and miserable.
So may you and your horses go well.

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

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

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.
