Things in 3
A shelf with a host of miniature objects. At the Front – Three Snowglobes
The First – a Winnie the Pooh Snowscene….
The Second – a Windmill Snowglobe from the Island Rhodes
The Third – a Snowglobe from the Sea Life Centre, Manchester
It didn’t matter if it didn’t snow this Christmas – these provided the snow to order!
Manchester (Via Rhodes) , 5th November 2018
As the fire took hold of the wood
I watched magical trails rise high in the air
Releasing colourful patterns in the sky
Rhodes ancient buildings painted
Over by Beautiful light
Created by Ignition – rising over walls and
Keep of the old city , bringing smiles to
Excited children and adults alike
Taking vacations on the island
Rhodes, 18th October 2018
Watched with intent
As Mediterranean blue
Mixed with Aegean aqua
Travelling over waves
As crabs met tentacles
Admiring the land lubbers
Shellfish communicate with conch
The shows about to start
As hermit crabs scuttle towards the bigger fish
In an instant they appear
Waving a fin or a tentacle
In the greenest of blues
Catch of the day
Passes along the hull
To say hello and goodbye
Rhodes, via Manchester 17th October
#octpowrimo #holidays #greece
Zoomed off down the Aegean
To grab the last rays of European sun
Azure blue seas and light blue skies
My case so excited
It went for a wonder
On the carousel for all of fifteen minutes
Whilst bear has a new thinking spot
With full view of some wonderful scenery
#Promptuarium #Earlymorning #Summer
An early morning acrostic by inky
Summers Mornings
Unusually found the Son up before
Mum and dad
Maybe its because he
Expected the smiling sun to
Reach beyond the curtains and say hello
Life is a long branch of events and choices
some shy away from making decisions
whilst others grab the bull by the horns
climbing the rockface
or in some cases – jumping off it
So – when it comes down to it
the decisions you make are yours
will you dip your toes in the shark infested sea
or play russian roulette with crusty crustaceans on the beach ?
all those decisions – are down to you
Salford 4th April 2018
The world is immense – to most people
Over the water there’s places you’ve never been to
During your lifetime – you’ll experience many a new thing
Daffodils won’t be the only flower you chomp on as you
Let your little toes explore the water (with mum and dad’s help)
Enjoying the nice warm sand in a place thats new whilst
Relaxing under a colourful umbrella.
Salford 23rd December 2017
Christmas festivities have been going on a pace this week, and as a typical Salfordian Male – i made the error of letting it wash all over me till This week
Strange as it may seem though – i’ve covered everybody’s christmas presents (even dad’s)
The Nephew’s will be getting their Merlin Passes renewed – the largest purchase – and i’ll leave that till after boxing day
Mum and Little Blister have their chrimbo pressies sorted as have Dad and B-I-L but i’m not bringing up what i’ve bought them less they read this blog.
Will no doubt be meeting up with Uncles and Aunties over christmas – and purchases will be made post boxing day and delivered in the run up to new year
Happy Christmas everyone…..If it seems i’ve gone ‘off grid’ for the next few days – its because i have….this bear will be hibernating….love christmas….cant stand the cold!
Coniston, Lake District
an acrostic response to the prompt Scamper
2nd July 2017
So here we are, by one of the lakes
Chasing sticks with the pet dog on the marina sands
As little dogs go, he’s very clever
Missing fewer than he catches
Pressing his paws into the soft brown sand
Expecting you to chase him after catching every stick
Really nice way to spend a summers afternoon
