Gutter Gardening.
Michael Edwards said:

I have the same \'problem\' - great lumps of moss removed from the tiles littering the path as well as all over the conservatory roof. In addition I have a large collection of sempervivems growing in pots and in gravel. Regularly they are uprooted and tossed all over the place.

Andy,

Consider yourself lucky! Thanks to that blackbird, you saved much £££!!
Nature is nature! Gotta love it!

Loved listening to Chris Botti’s musical rendition of the love theme from one of my favorite movies...
Cinema Paradiso!
Thank you for sharing!

My love to Joyce and to you!

Gutter Gardening.
Neville said:

people pay good money to get their gutters cleared, if you could just train a flock of them friends of yours, maybe you could earn a fortune..... Yes, I certainly do love nature and thanks for drawing my attention to something I would otherwise have missed...... Neville

Thanks for sharing UNCLE ANDY ! Love CHRIS BOTTI lovely story and a very laconic & haunting tune. Its gone 8pm Saturday here another lovely Winters day 15C = 59F ! Brain tells me you are due for a scorcher today (30+C = 84F) enjoy ! Loved the concept behind your Poem. We*ve said elsewhere that H.Sapiens lives in Concrete Bunkers & commutes in Steel Tube and works in Concrete Hives largely opting out of NATURE. With a garden (we want a Big One) one encroaches on Natures Teritory and the Beasts - Birds an\' Bees like to rearrange it ! Que sera sera ! Its the price we pay for our communion with NATURE : Active in Beak - Hoof - Claw & Paw !

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

That Day When.....
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks for Sharing & Caring : Uncle ANDY : ANGELA here 11am Saturday : just enjoying the Winter SUN 14C = 57F I hear its very very hot in Europe & UK !
These occasional LOVE LAMENTS you write about JOYCE are very very poignant ! Pardoxically they cause me to c ry for Her increasingly *Shut off Life* but also to smile for the True Love you have for her which increases rather than diminishes. As I have said before it so encourages Brian & I to believe whatever the FUTURE holds for us our TRUE LOVE will overcome any DIFFICULTY Life puts in our PATH ! Now abides these three Faith - Hope - Love : but the greatest of these is alwys LOVE ! Love the Choral Music : very very solemn & very very apt : Tears of Lament !

Blessings & Peace & Love to YOU & JOYCE
Youras as always : Love ANGELA XOXOX

Thank you for sharing your pain, I admire you more every day. Not just for how you write but love that still shines from you is something I look up to, there\'s not much in this world I do.

Thank you for being unperfectly perfectly you, I know words can not comfort you but many are here to listen with you.

Thank you again for morning tear in my tea.

Suresh said:

The two of you were never far apart, it was only your approach. And as you so poetically stated strong rivalry ended in strong bond.

Two Brothers.
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks UNCLE ANDY for sharing a branch of your Family Tree ! SIBLINGS & PARENTS are all part of the Immediate Family we inherit ! I have BROTHER & SISTER both married with KIDS so my Parents dont hassle Angela & I for GRANDCHILDREN. Angela also has a Brother & Sister both of whom are married to Spaniards and now live in Spain ! Again they have provided Grandchildren for MAM & PAPA ! My Elder BROTHER KEN and I co-Schooled but he studied Physics (Electronics & Computing) because he thought Chemistry was too unpredictable ! He liked intellectual Sports like Chess - Scrabble ~ Bridge but also Cycling ! I was more conventional Football (Defence) Cricket (Keeper & Batsman) & Cros Country & distance Running. We are both good Swimmers ! Ken plays Piano but prefer Jazz to Classics - I play Guitar Classical & Folk - That and my A-Level in Spanish convinced PAPA to let ANGELA marry a GRINGO ! All my Family love HER - who wouldnt ! Angelas Family also love me ! Loved YES (before my TIME) and your trip down Memory Lane !

Blessings & Love to YOU & JOYCE
Love BRIAN & ANGELA XOXOX

Neville said:

Wow is an appropriate word to use here.. Yes being one of my fave bands... but more than that.. you have crafted a poem full of super sentiments and personal disclosure that I have a lump in my throat as I think about my own younger brother......... Neville

Fay Slimm. said:

The ways brothers can take are varied but as long as love remains they are in safe places. A lovely read Andy of your two brotherly paths and where they have led.

Were we brothers in 1066? Standing together? Or falling apart, the moment I uttered the words...…! I mucked the whole thing up. Doh!
