I remember it well. And every rogue trader that ever was was up and about and ripping off the householder. Taking deposits and disappearing or \" I don\'t know what I\'m doing but I\'ll have a go\".

Brian here - Good Afternoon Uncle Andy - Thanks for a WICKED Video ! Shades of Jango & Srephane and the Hot Club de Paris. Music to lift LOCKDOWN ! I was only 4 and Angela just a TWNKLE in 1987 but accordng to records & photos it did reap havock in Essex, Hundreds of trees where uprooted in the U of Essex and (according to Photos) the landscape altered for ever. It reaped havoc with Trees & Buildings but as you say *Only 18 Died* a miracle - AMEN !
Blessings & Peace to You & Ypurs
Love Brian & Angela & Smokie !

As the saying goes -
\"Be content with what you have\"
And if I follow as the saying says, then, I have everything, but I don\'t know if I can put it as poetically as have you.

Laura🌻 said:
Andy,
A great question you’ve posed in the author’s comment section.
What is in MY life?
Too many things at the moment!
Some are pleasant...
some are not;
some are complicated...
some are not;
some are painful...
some are not;
but all in all life goes on.
As my mom would say, “Hardships are like lemons; take those lemons
and make your lemonade;
let nothing go to waste!”
(A loose translation from her Italian words.)
A great choice of music to complement your poem! I enjoyed both; the read and the music. Cinema Paradiso is one of my Italian favorites.
Thank you for sharing.

GUT MITWOCH UNCLE ANDY ~ Brian Here (Angela on the Front Line - Pray for her !) thanks for the VIDEO ~ Where would we be without OPERA ? !
A FURTIVE TEAR ~ Thats how most of us feel about COVID 19 ( despite a minor BIOCHEMICAL breakthrough with STERIOD) if we*re honest !
I was uplifted by your Poem. COVID 19 seems to be targetting H. Sapiens (Man of Wisdom ?) and not Flora & Fauna in general. Is this GHIA fighting back against our distain for the Environment !
Still - as your elegant EULOGY so aptly states *Nature is always there 24/7 - In Englands Green & Pleasant Land - for us to enjoy* ~ NIL DESPERANDUM ET CARPE DIEM ~ AMEN !
BLESSINGS & Peace to You & Yours
Love Brian & Angela 💛💛💛💛💛

Can\'t you hear what those birds are saying to you in their song? \"Gerroff our bloody canvas with yer size eleven boots\" or something similar.
Yes, it\'s wonderful to have the time, which is afforded to us later in life, to appreciate how beautiful this world around us can be. Mind you, it might be a totally different appreciation of our surroundings were we in the midst of a jungle where every other life form regards you as a meal or threat.

Good Evening Uncle Andy - WOW two Harps in one day - we must be in Heaven ! Brian & I love Harp Recitals always very elegant & soothing. Thanks for sharing. We love the sentiment in Your Love Ode - From VALENTINE Bud to fully blown Rose - as a tribute to your Beloved Joyce who is now a Star in the Spirit World. We love the collage also !
Dath doth hide but not divide
It is as though the Rose that .......
Bloomed upon our Garden Wall
Has blossomed on the other Side !
Thanks for caring & sharing

GOOD MONDAY - UNCLE ANDY ! Your Music *Cool Jazz* and your elegant ODE about being in sync withTIME have set an excellent mood for a Warm & Sunny NEW DAY - Amen. Now that we are settled to out New Home - and with SMOKEY we can feel the vibes of TIME and *Of the Street where we LIVE*. We agree as your Poem suggests - there is a *Rhythm of Life* in every situation & circumstance - which if we find it and harmonise is a great blessing. Singing in a CHOIR (as you so often mention) or playing in a BAND teaches us a lot about lifes harmonies ! We need to be in Tune - in Key in Chord & in Rhythm to be in perfect HARMONY. Brian & I love Welsh Male Voice Acapello Choral singing for all those reasons. Our POEM today is about UNCERTAINTY - but you have lifted us to a Higher Plane - CARPE DIEM !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love ANGELA & BRIAN 💛💛💛

What an amazing day to be whacking someone elses balls with a mallet!
I can see you are growing old disgracefully. You bloody doddery hooligans are giving us pensioners a bad name.
Whatever happened to the peaceful coffee mornings writing ditties for those strangers in the cafe? You\'ll be getting up early to daub the Evesham walls with croquet clan graffitti if you carry on at this rate. The mallett boys rool ok!
