The Whole Advent Calendar December 2022

[I have often attempted some sort of Advent Calendar in December. Last year it was just on each day-number, others have attempted the background to the birth in the manger. This year I've attempted verse again on the numbers of the days, but drawing out some significance from the Bible history, all in brief limerick form. Limerick form was not used to indicate humour, but as a form to make a catchy brief point.] I've now combined the 25 individual days, and of course lost a few comments.

Posted on Mon, 07 Oct 2019

Don't worry about anything, just wondered about the 'peel' in the last line, but I think I see itis probably that enclosing the words/thoughts that they need to escape from, or basically the same as the vowels colouring - which I hadn't thought...

Posted on Mon, 07 Oct 2019

A clever interweaving, flowing of these linked beautiful shades. I wasn't sure I understood the last line correctly. As there's no full-stop, I wondered if it is finished? [Appeal - a peel: pun?] Rhiannon

I do like the noticing of the quivering of the bush full of little birds. And also, the 'now, now' of just one more when sampling! The clotting in the bag broiught back memories too!

And I do admire you for making jam. I've never had a go...

How an umbrella makes a walk

Posted on Sun, 22 Sep 2019

How an umbrella makes a walk in the rain enjoyable and enables the viewing of all that is around outside our bubble of shelter! You took me with you on your refreshing stroll. Rhiannon

Posted on Sun, 22 Sep 2019

I liked the tumbling hues you've brought in, and the idea of 'linger-lapse of time'. And the 'sudden chilled October’s dawn' of which we have had a few tastes already. Evocative and concentrated. Rhiannon

Those branches do weave out

Posted on Sat, 21 Sep 2019

Those branches do weave out to tangle and trip don't they? But yes, a lovely autumn wreath. We have had an abundant supply of large juicy ones just down a 'twitten' from the end of our little lane, sprouting out from behind the buildings of an...

Posted on Fri, 20 Sep 2019

Fun memories, Jean! Teenage years very trying for girls and boys, and often pushed into 'pairings' before they're ready, when a looser group socialising would be helpful, to get to know each other and how to communicate and be friends and...

Posted on Sun, 15 Sep 2019

I thought the beginning like a painting and visualised you sitting on the doorstep seeing the scene of sky and sea. I wonder if the slight pull of the earth's magnetism guides them on their long migration?

And then turning to watch the...

I suppose there were times in the second world war for our parents that were like that, and we as only looking back as to history, especially as they couldn't talk about it much, couldn't appreciate. But yes, I think the shock of that day is the...
