G is for......

Guisborough Priory!

I decided to take this photograph for today's ABC post when talking with Stewart and Julie last week!

I took this picture on Monday.

I had just taken this photograph when the batteries ran low and the camera switched off!

Jon read the specifications/capacities of all concerned and we now know we were not charging up the batteries for the correct time!

The batteries take 15 hours!

Sounds like a long time, but the complicated calculations we have done between us are accurate.

Just ask Jon! LOL!

I haven't altered the photograph at all.

To read about Guisborough Priory look here!

We had our wedding photographs taken here.

They would have been excellent were it not for the JCB digger in the background!

My Valentine!

My better half...at play!

Two lonely aerials meet on a roof and start to date
Very soon they fall in love so it must have been fate
They name the day as their love has proved resilient
The ceremony was rubbish but the reception was brilliant

Wilmaha........recovering after her walk on the beach!

Today was a glorious day!
Wlma and I went to the beach for a 45 minute session.
This involves me throwing the ball as far as I can....
Wilms then runs as fast as she can to fetch the ball..................
but as she reaches where I am standing I throw another ball in the oposite direction!

She ran and ran and ran!

( I will type slowly and quietly now as she is fast asleep!)

I STARTED early, took my dog,
And visited the sea;
The mermaids in the basement
Came out to look at me,

And frigates in the upper floor 5
Extended hempen hands,
Presuming me to be a mouse
Aground, upon the sands.

But no man moved me till the tide
Went past my simple shoe, 10
And past my apron and my belt,
And past my bodice too,

And made as he would eat me up
As wholly as a dew
Upon a dandelion’s sleeve— 15
And then I started too.

And he—he followed close behind;
I felt his silver heel
Upon my ankle,—then my shoes
Would overflow with pearl. 20

Until we met the solid town,
No man he seemed to know;
And bowing with a mighty look
At me, the sea withdrew.

Emily Dickinson (1830–86)

The forecast is good...so we just may get out for a bike adventure....
watch this space!

On Sunday we were at the Village Carol Service.
The Bishop of Whitby kindly wrote the following blessing for the readers of my blog.
Blessings can't come any better than this!

Very Special Blessings........we most certainly have them here!
I have slightly editted this post, as I feel it s such a wonderful opportunity to share what Christmas is all about....and having the Bishop of Whitby on my friendship list is something I want to share, with my many contacts all over the globe, so Very Very much!
