Wishing all an enjoyable Christmas and a better New Year.
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.

Your alternative tree is a reminder of holidays to come 😄 Yes, it will be a quieter Xmas for most of us, but I’m sure we will all make the most of it. As you say, we’re all hoping for a wonderful 2021.
ReplyDeleteRuth - the tree was introduced by my son last year, or was it the year before? I see it as a little rebellion - having a go at Covid and the utter stupidity of Brexit: "rage, rage..."
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to you too Conrad!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good one 👍😊🎄✨
What a rotten year Conrad. Such a shame that we haven’t even met up once. So Sheila and I wish you all the best for Christmas and New Year and hopefully, fingers crossed 2021 will be better. Not forgetting all your words of support. Thank You.
ReplyDeletePaul - Thanks. I just tried to subscribe to your new location but it came up with an error. It may be that I subscribed earlier - could you please confirm?
ReplyDelete--------------
Alan R - Thanks.It would be good if we can get round to meeting again. fingers crossed.
Happy Christmas to you and family Conrad. At least we now have a vaccines which gives hope for 2021.
ReplyDeleteAll our best wishes. Getting very bored with these virtual hugs with grandkids, lets hope next year is the year of the Real Hug! xx
ReplyDeleteAfoot and Kendal Gs. - Thanks for your greetings. It is becoming increasingly difficult to be optimistic.
