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.

ReplyDeleteYou need to check with your local council for rate relief as you are never home!
Looking forward to regular posts.
Jj - you were right. I've eaten well and the beer was good. New owners since March so old bad reviews no longer relevant. I've done a post but it wont go without 3G using Blogpress. It seems that including pihotos requires 3G. I may delete the pics and try without.
ReplyDeleteWelshpaddler - you don't do so badly youself. At least I'm not driving my car round with the exorbitant cost of fuel, and i cancelled the papers.
