Dealing with niggles; Christmas wishes: Two things to hope for in 2020

My way of dealing with niggles ,is to make them into a form of words; which helps me rationalise my anxieties  and so stop an obsession from forming. Al least that's what I think.
So read the following and make your minds up.

Not on my patch

Sun breaks.
Another day enfolds.
The garden beckons;
but harmony is soon
broken, by aerial noises,
a thousand times more 
than the bumble Bee, 
who pollinates rather than
contaminates  the atmosphere.

What arrogance gives  these
Pipers, Senecas and their ilk 
an entitlement to invade
my space at intervals of
ten minutes or so?
For, if they moved on
the ground; authorities 
could curb their actions;

But overhead they are
completely free to
inflict a menu of noise,
air  and environmental 
pollution, whilst making
an incessant drone as they
perform their circuits.

So please,may your controllers 
give us peace; a measure
of serenity and our old,
established gardens
returned if only for a respite

  ona regular basis; or am I
indulging in a mere
flight of fancy?

Two wishes for the new year: With the European Football Championships taking place in Great Britain, with the final on July 12th at Wembley, London. I would like our boys to emulate the England rugby team and make the final next year. It's about time!

 Secondly, with Glasgow, Scotland, hosting the climate change conference in 2020; I would hope that Britain could take a lead and for the sake of our Children and generations to come, show a responsibility for the fate of our planet. Let's all get together and work as one, for as Williams James said: "We are like islands in the sea, separate on the surface, but connected in the deep." This global crisis can bring the world together. I hope so.

So that, my friends rounds-up 2019 A.D.

On Tuesday D. and I went from Buckle Street ( Jackdaws Castle )  back along the Gloucestershire Way  to our last finish point in the woods near Condicote. "Jackdaws Castle" is the  horse racing establishment, run by Jonjo O'Neill. Read more at: Jonjo The Way  continues opposite these gates along a metalled bridle path/track leading,  after a  half mile to Ford Hill Farm. The path loops around the farm and soon emerges on a pleasant bridleway. This is a very quiet stretch and I agree with our guide writer Gerry Stewart, who describes it thus: "  This open ridge-top provides a great sense of kinship with the early people who once traversed these tracks." ( p.91) After this bridleway, the path continued  through a field of yellow rape seed, until turning left,  we espied our former end position amongst the woods of Hinchwick. Another link in the  Way  had been made. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ...

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 l...

In The Smoke with Turner: Lest We Forget: Curlyfit to Drop.

Image
Last Tuesday ( 11/ 11 ) D. and I visited London to see our daughter L. and to view the " Late Turner " art exhibition at Tate Britain. In a jokey fashion, I have always referred to London as " Up The Smoke "  in celebration of its industrial past. It was therefore interesting to note that the artist Joseph Mallord William Turner ( 1775 - 1851) not only lived in  this industrial period, but also used it frequently in his paintings. He was, for example,  the first major artist to use the steam train as a subject and delighted in smoke, fog and mists through which he could express the properties of light so effectively. The exhibition marked the last period of his life from 1835 when he was sixty years of age. He constantly travelled widely in Europe drawing sketches at all points on his journey. He was drawn to water and therefore especially loved Venice, with its natural mists and shadows. He was famous for his sea views and in fact developed the idea...
