View from the top of this very big hill
is breathtaking (literally)
some say its a bit barmy climbing up all that way
to take a picture or admire the view – but
at the end of the day – its worth it (even better with a picnic)

King of the Dinosaurs!
woken up by the sound of a wide brush,
and now sitting proud in a grand hall
towering over us all
while human children look and read,
what he liked, for a feed.

The pieces of the plane
snapped together quite remarkably
from propeller to wing to cockpit
it’s parts have kept together
locked in tight – no need for a hammer or nails
superglue ? redundant
it would take some serious force
for it (or any of it’s fellow squadron)
to lose their wings
though there is a case
gravity may play a hand

I’m guessing he got bored of listening to the hum of my TV
I’d cleared up the workspace, and used my desk cleaner – in the shape
of Starwars favourite, R2-D2 to clean up Hex, the laptop i write this blog on.
I headed off downstairs for a spot of dinner – and guess where i found him when i returned…..?
Talking to his chum (my coinbox) on the other side of the room…..

What’s that coming out of my cup of chai ?
colorful things rise and fly
up and down and round about
following the trail of the steam spout
far into the air they fly and rise
like colourful luminous butterflies
captured by the camera’s eye
before out of the kitchen they do fly

A sweet sounding prompt from the inkwell
Hi Folks
Inky back with another photographic delight from the inkwell.
all sorts of candy treats….from milk chocolate bears to candy bananas……
Yes. it is the last day of lent…and yes it has been a pain knowing just where i’d stashed all that yummy stuff away till now
However , Given the odd sunday allowance and my birthday tea –
i reckon i’ve done rather well from abstaining from the sweet stuff,
there is of course one thing that re-emerged on my birthday
And its not being opened till Bank Holiday Monday 🙂
As its easter – and im doing Napowrimo – here’s a little something sweet inspired by Matthew Tomlinson’s sweet shop at Salford’s Lark Hill Place
It’s called Pick and Mix
Open up your bag, and round
your choice of sweets for just a pound
a choice of sweets, is hard to choose
with more than just the penny chews.
Some candied shrimps, some lemon drops
chocolate footballs, fizzy pops
Bonbons of strawberry, cola cubes
Dolly mixtures and sherbet in tubes
Candy lollies in different flavours,
Fruit sherbet drops with tastes to savour
lemon pastilles, and aniseed balls
and space dust that’s fizzy to not one kid but all
Chocolate cups, a favourite for me
were usually the thing to be eaten wi’ glee
But don’t eat them all now, or else there won’t be
any room left in your tummy for tea!

Two of everything
perfect snack for an afternoon
sweet as nature intended
and fit perfect in the hand
retrieved with others in the hunt
for the perfect paella
Pair of woollen gloves
Pulled over two frosty hands
Perfect on cold winter days

Creating Rainbows
#Art #Colours #Rainbows
On a winters night
give me a bright white canvas
and seven colourful characters
let me bend them to my will without braking
and all with just a splash of rain
casting the sight of a colourful rainbow
across the page

Advent
As far as I know it, the countdown to Christmas day has begun
December starts tomorrow morning, when
Vergers and other officers of the church will be
Engaging with the parishioners about the upcoming
Nativity celebrations
Taking place in the cathedral on Christmas Eve
