His house is in the village though
he will not mind me stopping here
To watch his woods
Fill up with snow...

I remember learning this poem in Primary school - I think was about 5. It was one of the first poems I read to my daughters when they were little. One of my favourites.

I used to have one of those. I loved it - better at whipping up egg whites than my electric mixer!

Me too. It’s a great film!

I wish thee was a laughing emoji!

Love the use of the term "Migrants" instead of "people"

I regularly make donations to UNICEF. She did stay at home. The cost wasn’t 4k as I am talking 10 years ago- but I do think these kind of trips have questionable underlying rationales.

Sorry to hear that. It is grim.

There are serious questions these trips. Went to meeting about trip to Kenya & 1 activity was to "paint a classroom" in local school. Asked about preventing dependency on suchtrips and expectations that "rich" westerners would turn up every year. They had no answers. Daughter didn't go.

That’s beautiful!

When I was 9 I got a dog. I called him Mungo.

I thought I saw a weasel the other day but now I am not so sure! It ran across the road I front of the car.

It might have been a baby one!

It’s why Dive/ dived ( not dove) and sneak/ snuck is an abominable Americanisation. All to do with strong verbs in Old English.

I find it weird to agree with old Tories. I used to despise these people and now they sound like statesmen.

Happy anniversary.

I guess the "trick" here is that there isn't actually any charcuterie!

I used to babysit for a family who had that album. Used to play it every time I went there!
