Autumn Cherry and Rosie.

Autumn Cherry

WINTER SONG

WINTER SONG.

All the leaves have fallen,

Trees lay bare, in a silent, still beauty

Snow starts to fall,

gently coating the branches in pure white lace

Sombre sky. so grey, with promise of more,

No sun to cheer the day.

Suddenly a breeze swirls,

rustling ghostly cobwebs from the barren branches

An eerie sight, as snow quickly blankets the earth below

A single robin perches on high, singing his winter song.

He cheers the day.

In his inimitable way.

Rosie after her shower!

Sunday Ramblings.

It doesn't seem possible that it's almost May and practically half way through the year. Time seems to pass very quickly as one gets older, no idea why this is, though I suppose it could be down to the faster pace of everyday living.


I've been watching the London Marathon this am and pleased to see Paula Radcliffe finishing well. Her little girl was quite tearful and no doubt very proud of her famous mum.

I'm proud of Paula too, especially as she comes from Bedford, as do one or two other talented athletes and famous people such as the late, great Ronnie Barker, John Le Mesurier and Trevor Huddlestone, not forgetting John Bunyan of course.

I must say I've never read Bunyan's "The Pilgrim's Progress"  as I'm not at all religious.  I do have a Holy Bible though, which my paternal Grannie gave me in 1957 and treasure it, but only because it was a present from her.

I don't believe you have to believe in any God to be a decent person, but everyone is entitled to have their faith and I would always defend that right, but not the evil that comes from extremist fanaticism in any religion, which encourages intolerance and death to non believers or people of different faiths..

I'd better get of my soapbox now....

Have a good day all.

British TV Repeats

As much as I liked "Only Fools and Horses" the endless repeats of it on various channels can get a bit monotonous.


I wish they would repeat some of the other comedy programmes such as "Perfect World" with Paul Kaye. I used to find this hilarious, although it was a bit "near the mark" at times, but no more shocking than "Little Britain" and other irreverent programmes that have since followed.


 I expect some of the old comedy sketches are not PC nowadays, such as "The Benny Hill Show", Dick Emery, etc and will never be shown in full ever again, but I must admit I loved them all and much more fun than some of the totally unfunny comedians of today!   .

I would also like to see repeats of "Big Deal" starring Ray Brooks which was aired in the 1980s. It would be great if they could also repeat some of the excellent plays and drama series of yesteryear too.

I can but dream....
