Cornwall


A jutting peninsula; wild and free,
a land of sun and sky and sea.
The sea its bounty plundered deep,
the land its crops its cattle, sheep.
The sea that shaped this Celtic land,
its weather lent a helping hand.

Its rain makes trees and crops to grow,
makes fields of green
and rivers flow.

Wind; the trees and shrubs to bend,
the giant wind farms power to send,
and endless waves to rocky shore,
crashing so with mighty roar!

For its sun the tourists throng,
to beaches golden, wide and long.
The fruit to ripen; buds to burst,
the harvest gathered; slake a thirst.

Come the winter months be found
its snow and ice piercing the ground,
tops its moors and strips the land,
Cornwall slumbers in its hand...

...till spring through winters darkness cheers,
and Cornwall wakes and reappears!











Half Empty

My glass is neither half empty nor half full!
Instead; my glass is waiting for me to make a selection from my half empty drinks cabinet,
to then half fill it,
so as I can completely empty it.
I then will rinse and repeat until I am completely full...
and half cut!
Half of you will completely  understand this,
whist the other half will simply feel completely empty.
Thank you!

We Love and Care (A Family Christmas)

We look forward to.
We anticipate.
We invite and get excited.

We shop and over shop.
We order and over order and collect.
We book and arrange and plan.

We plan surprises and meals.
We buy food and presents.
We wrap with love.
We care.
We love...
 ...and care.

We open and welcome.
We cook.
We serve and share and love and care,
we pour and eat and watch and drink and; 'do' old traditions.

We unwrap.
We love and care,
we enjoy and care,
we share with love...
we love and care.

We snuggle and love and care and lye-in.
We over eat and drink and walk.

We walk the dog and eat some more and watch and rest and share and listen and love and care; together...

...we love and care.

Body: "Tired! Rest 'cos 
you've been up since 4am!
Mind: "ah yeah but..."

Man on mobile. So
loud; the phone's not required!
'think "Steve's" in trouble!

Don't you find that all
this technology is great...
when it works that is!
