March 2022

Welcome to our March blog, grab a cup of tea and a biscuit for a three minute read ....

Snow has come again making the beautiful daffodils droop a little

Zara isn't bothered as long as there is hay to munch

nothing bothers the geese

Tilly thinks it's just another opportunity to sleep

as does Wilma,

 in this photo though she looks like a dog on a stick !

Book of the month

Thank you Gary for our copy of this book,

 we may live forever !!

~~~~~~~

Sorting through our books I came across this lovely bookmark...

made me laugh anyway !

and packing away books ready to move I found a small lizard that I disturbed from the warmth behind the shelves !

Pause for thought

 When the sun shines it's time to get back in the water, water temperature at the moment 8 degrees.

(thank you Tom and Fiona for this photo, good to see you both)

Oh ! how I love my mermaid friends !!

~~~

Us glamorous Sunday morning swimmers think these beach shoes are just fab !!!

 we all want some, thanks Steve for bringing our attention to these.

Poem of the month

Soldier, Soldier

Do ya really wanna fight ?

Soldier, Soldier

Ya know it ain't right.

Soldier, Soldier,

What will you gain ?

I'll tell you Soldier,

Just rubble and pain.

Soldier, Son,

I hear your mother say,

"Didn't I teach you right from wrong ?

Put your hands together and pray"

Soldier, Brother,

Gently lay down your arms.

Soldier, Friend,

let's do no more harm.

Soldier, Father,

Go back to your family.

Soldier, Boy,

Go home for your tea.
