This was a very nice piece. I am not exactly sure what to comment on it. I just cannot think at this moment. So I will just say that this is a nice piece. Sometimes, (vary rarely) what glitters can be gold.
Be diligent.
Use and exercise wisdom.
Live for the Lord.
Persistence is key
- Blessings in Christ Jesus

Any door before you should be open as you will be surprised, as you were, at what wonders there are behind each door.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

THANKS SURESH : We too love SECRET GARDEN and saw a presentation of the Play last time we were in FLORIDA very moving ! For CHILDREN even a medium GARDEN is an exciting Playground ! When ANGELA & I buy a HOUSE a big garden is a must ! I love growing Fruit & Veggies and ANGELA loves cooking & eating them ! In Essex lots of older folks (75+) are downsizing to BUNGALOWS or retirement Homes so there are lots of houses on the Market (GB£300,000 +) with well kept gardens & veggie Plots. I also have an Allotment at work for teaching HORTICULTURE ~ AMEN

Blessings & Love & Peace
Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN XOXOX

It immediately reminds me of a book and movie,, SECRET GARDEN, which is one of my favorites.
As a child I used to always escape into our vegetable garden, and build paper boats and float them in the channels to water the field.
AHHH!!! those days.
Thnx, I did enjoy reading your poem

What better than a secret garden to a young boy and your words describe the mystery and thrills so well behind that green door - - only in dreams do I go through a doorway into a garden - thanks many times dear duo for this exciting verse and lovely video .

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ BRIAN here ! Yes I do feel guilty flying 11,500 miles to NEW ZEALAND and back to see ANGELA but its a week by BOAT and I only have limited HOLIDAYS ! Noblesse Oblige ! I know some older folk in Church who have never flown and never will ! Others ~ in BUSINESS ~ Fly to and fro to Europe several times a month ! Angela & I try to be as GREEN as possible but its increasingly difficult and may ALREADY be too late !

Blessings & Peace & Love to YOU & JOYCE
Yours as always BRIAN & ANGELA XOXOX

We try to do our best as far as the environment is concerned, mainly about “Gas guzzling planes” the last time I went on a plane was in the 1960s so I think I have done my bit in not flying for forty plus years.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

THANKS AGAIN *OUT* for taking the time to read and comment on our Presentation. We all appreciate that PLANET EARTH cannot exist for ever and that ultimately as the SUN expands it will envelope the EARTH ! However that is millions of years into the future and does not immediatly concern this GENERATION. What concerns me (BRIAN) as an Environmental Scientist is that the rise of CO2 (from 250 ppm to 410 ppm) is not NATURAL but ANTHROPOGENIC (manmade !) Since we ceased to be HUNTER GATHERERS (thousands of Years ago) MAN has placed himself outside the NORMAL CHEMICAL CYCLES (Water ~ Nitrogen ~ Carbon etc) and Food Chains & Food Webs ~ He has exploited the Earths resources of Fuels & Minerals ~ and has developed SYNTHETICS (like plastics etc) which the Earths ecosystems cannot BIODEGRADE ! When ANGELA & I start a FAMILY our Children will still be alive in 2100 when much of the Worlds surface could be UNINHABITABLE ! There will be mass migrations from the NEW DESSERTS and CIVIL WAR and GLOBAL WAR between the Haves & the Have NOTS. It will end in MASS STARVATION AND DEATH and *There is nowhere else to GO*

Thanks again for your comments
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN !

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks FAY : Brian & I seem to be on our SOAPBOX lately but this one is very important. I picked the video because the Narrator is very SCIENTIFIC and I agree with His rather alarning Prognosis. Brian & I will only be in our 60s in 2050 but our Children will still be alive in 2100 when things wil be much much worse ! We are pleased you appreciated both the Structure & Subject of Our Presentation. As committed Christians we have read The Book of Revelation and we believe GOD will intervene before we destroy the PLANET ~ AMEN

Blessings & Love & Peace
Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN XOXOX

A much needed review of what humanity must do to help save our earth. A gruesome future it seems but thank you both very much for the well written sonnet.

You can add leaving devices (TV etc) on standby and leaving the tap running when cleaning teeth. Fine reminder of what we should all be doing.

Thanks A &B. Urgh, a gross way to save - some don\'t flush public toilets once even! A visit to some of them can be nightmarish. I know they may say they are saving water, but that\'s revolting. Ooh.

ORANGE & LEMONS ~ ANGELA & BRIAN ~ A DOUBLE SONNET

Have you closely seen an orange or related fruit. In extremely thin membrane it holds precious liquid, thus maximum fluid to pulp ratio, extremely important fruit.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks FAY ~ so pleased you enjoyed the Presentation ! ANGELA (stiil in BED !) and I both studied DIETECTICS so we like to share some of our KNOWLEDGE & JOY of FOOD ! One of the Blessings of Global Warming is the Quality of Essex Vineyards and in the 21st C the increasing quality of ESSEX WINES ! We can grow CITRUS (under Glass) but hopefully by 2030 ~ AL FRESCO ! We teach Horticulture at the College and are experiementing with Citrus Trees ~ raised under glass ~ and then Al Fresco ~ May to August and the back under Glass again ! We have *glass frames* which we can roll over the trees !

Blessings & Peace & Love
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA XOXOX

ForeverJesus7 said:

I like this piece. Maybe it is mostly because I am from South Florida.

Also, here is some quick trivia.
The Miami Hurricanes college football team chose their colors because the orange represents the orange from the tree. The green represents the leaves, and the white represents the orange blossoms.

Keep writing.

A fine write B&A. Now Brian - why near Colleges, Universities, etc, are we likely to find roads called \'The Orangery\' quite often? A lesson, please!

ForeverJesus7 said:

Honestly, a country that I often thought about going to was Czech-Republic for a number of reasons. One example is that the country reminds me of all the espionage stories. It\'s fascinating. Also, I remember when I used to watch hockey in the 90\'s. All the good players were from Czechoslovakia. My favorite hockey player and maybe my favorite sports player of all time, Jaromir Jagr is from what used to be called Czechoslovakia. This is a great piece.
Keep writing.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thansk ANDREW for a very POSITIVE COMMENT ! People born in the UK are English ~ Scots ~ Welsh & N Irish ! Secondly we are ALL EUROPEANS ! We should be very thankful for Europe and proud to be Europeans ! having visited most of it in the last 20 years i can vouch from experience that it really is *The most Peaceful ~ Cultural ~ Beautiful Continent on Planet Earth ~ AMEN !
I (ANGELA) am very fortunate because I have dual Nationality English (from my MAMA : I was born in London) and Spanish because my PAPA is Spanish and I spent much of my Childhood con Mis Abuelos en Sevilla ! So for me EUROPE (Spain : Portugal : Fance & Italy etc) was a reality from the age of TWO and that it was MULTILINGUAL ! I spoke Spanish and studied French & German at Private School in London. Portuguese & Italian are very similar to Spanish. Brian was lucky He was born in 1983 and His Parents took him to France ~ Italy ~ Spain etc from the age of Five ! He has GCSE*s in Spanish : French : Italian : German and an A - Level in Spanish ! PAPA was very impressed with His Language ability and knowledge of Spanish Culture ~ Literature ~ Art & Music. He is very pleased to have Him as a Son-in-Law : Gloria a Dios !

Brexit is unfortunate but we will always be Europeans !

Yes I\'ve visited them all too - and such an exciting continent it is. You do right to worry - - we\'re not getting the Brexit most voted for - but the worst of both worlds - a horrible compromise to appease both sides.
