Lives of great men will remind us
We can make our lives sublime
And,departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time.
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Longfellow

I saw a jolly hunter
With a jolly gun
Walking in the country
In the jolly sun.
In the jolly meadow
Sat a jolly hare.
Saw the jolly hunter.
Took jolly care.
Hunter jolly eager-
Sight of jolly prey.
Forgot gun pointing
Wrong jolly way.
Jolly hunter jolly head
Over heels gone.
Jolly old safety catch
Not jolly on.
Bang went the jolly gun.
Hunter jolly dead.
Jolly hare got clean away.
Jolly good, I said.

Fair enough - it wasn't the most scenic of routes!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Arnside!
ditto - but sorry to hear it
ReplyDeleteI guess the Suffolk bit was OK but always had me doots about the Essex littoral and Thames estuary sections: maybe you should start in Canterbury and go west - a sort of tales of Yrubretnac rather than Dickensian miasmas.
But at least you have given the knee a decent work-out and know better how it will perform on more demanding terrain - not that level walking does not have its own challenges - lack of variation of rhythm and uphill/downhill reliefs perhaps. Imagine 20 miles across London compared with miles of mountain tracks - one would be crippled and stiff for days!
I am sorry that urban vistas (inter alia, I suppose) got you down. I took heart earlier when you said you were - it seemed - junking the schedule and merely wandering. But then I'm a slave to routine myself and perhaps that indicated what has now come about. Starting a new novel down here in the Languedoc isn't quite as adventurous.
ReplyDeletePhreerunner and Gimmer - Thanks for your comment. More rationale behind the decision is now in my latest post.
ReplyDeleteRR- How are you communicating from France? Don't tell me you have borrowed somebody's iPhone?
I would be interested to hear some broad outline about the new opus (email perhaps).
Only gullible people use (or more particularly: pay for) Iphones. See my comment to Natalie, June 12, Tone Deaf for explanation of technology.
ReplyDeleteNovel. See Tone Deaf posts, June 10, May 6 - the latter you commented on, but misguidedly.
