Spring is in the Air!

Look to the future

smile and you will see

that every is waking up

and life is full of glee

winter time is over

there's so much to be done

be out in the sun shine

smile and have some fun

joy to behold again

children's laughter is heard

they're racing round the garden

chasing butterflies, how absurd!

skipping through the grasses

splashing in the puddles

cats prowling and dogs barking

we're smiling cos mum's in a muddle!

sunshine in their eyes

a spring in their pace

full of the joys of spring

bright smile upon their face

the thrills of the season

will bring you loads of fun

with laughter and sunshine

peace and love to everyone!

Proud to call her Mother!

My mother was one of the best

she really took good care of me

always had a smile to share

a plaster when I scrapped my knee

she woke me up in the mornings

gave a big hug last thing at night

let me learn through my mistakes

and her advice was always right

enjoyed the help she gave me then

and miss her wisdom now she`s gone

problem shared, was a problem halved

was the best advice she passed on

taking in all she has told me

I understand motherhood much more

the joys of passing on her love

has helped me cope better, for sure!

I miss sharing a cuppa with her

after a long arduous time through traffic

walking around the garden together

discussing the latest topic

Mother, you were one of the best

I`m proud the celebrate this day

giving thanks for all you`ve done

loving you more each and every way!

Chutterley

Charismatic cat of our neighbourhood

Happy to snuggle up on a lap for a cuddle

Usually out and about checking her territory

Taken to soaking up the afternoon sunshine

Tree climbing,  chasing toys, padding soft jumpers

Exterminator of mice and presenting them to dad

Rumbustious, playful and loves being smoothed

Long fluffy black coat, that needs lots of grooming

Ever a huge part of our family, loved by us all

Yawning widely before curling up on clean linen

Easter Egg Hunt

Easter eggs wrapped up in foil

shiny, colourful and bright

secretly hidden for you to find

tucked away out of sight

so off you go and hunt for them

see how many can be found

collect all them in a basket

then share the eggs all around !

Spring

Spring only arrives
when the cherry trees blossom
turning our world pink
so, bringing joy to our hearts
bright laughter heard all around

An tEarrach

Ní thagann an t-earrach ach
nuair a bhláthaíonn na crainn silíní
ag casadh ár saol bándearg
mar sin, ag tabhairt áthas dár gcroí
gáire geal le cloisteáil timpeall

 

Glasgow

Gaelic name Ghlaschu means "Dear Green Place"

Largest city in Scotland and 4th in United kingdom

A ship building mega on the Clyde from 15th Century

Striking `Glasgow Tower` stand 417 feet tall

Glasgow was founded in 6th Century

Oldest tree stumps are found in "Fossil Grove"

Wondrous underground railway named The Clockwork Orange

Pink Snow

pink snow falling softly

hovering slowly in the air

silently drifting to the ground

covering all with out a care

with soft sweet scent about

filling the atmosphere

Mother natures is stirring

spring time must be here

bees buzzing amongst flowers

collecting nectar for their hive

as the air is filled with pollen

everything feels so alive

for spring, glorious spring

has arrived at last

pink snow followed by fruit

nature is full of contrast

Bournemouth

Beautifully kept beach, seven miles of gorgeous golden sands

Oceanarium, fun filled experience from reef sharks to feeding turtles

Ultimate experience and great views from the Bournemouth Big Wheel

Reputation as a health resort and one of the sunny spots in the UK

New Forest, is an outstanding area to roam and explore among the ponies

Every year over 750,000 ice creams of many different flavours are sold

Most loved colourful beach huts along the sea front are highly prized

Old Harry Rocks, chalky headland stretching out into the sea

Used to be barren heathland for pirate smugglers until the 19th century

Thanks to its consistent waves and sandy beach, it`s a great place to surf

Hundred and fifty years old pier with great entertainment and sea views
