THE SCANDINAVIANS & CANADIANS ARE LAFFING !
Frost & Snow
Each thing frozen
Blue noses and ears
Rush-hour chaos no chains
Upsets ~ All the Transport
Annual happening
Really British
YES IT IS !
Thanks for visiting ~ Comments Please ~ Love BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡
If you live in the UK are you ready for FEBRUARY SNOW ?
NO Snow Tyres ~ NO Snow Chains ! Im not ready either !
It never ever SNOWS deep in ESSEX ~ BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡
What on Earth is a BARREL ACROSTIC you may ask ?
Well it is a free verse Acrostic and it ends up shaped
like a BARREL by virtue of an UP & DOWN syllabus
count ! If the word has an EVEN number of letters
there are TWO equal middle lines and if ODD there
is only ONE ! Because Barrels have a flat top and
bottom you start and finish with TWO or MORE
syllables. Mine is 3 4 5 6 6 5 4 3 ! It sounds easy
but the skill is getting the length of the lines RIGHT.
I do this by TYPING the Acrostic into WORD first and
then adjusting the lines with ~ etc to get it right !
ANGELA will post an odd one tomorrow ! Love B & A 🧡🧡

If we get ready Brian we couldn't have snow days at home... where's he fun in that?
Great write and very true observation
Many Thanks ANDREW for your droll comment. Yes indeed one less excuse to skip work and have another day in by the FIRE ! A very un-Scoutish Mantra DONT BE PREPARED ! Ive now added LET IT SNOW by Tont Bennett ~ Please check ~ Yours BRIAN !
We want snow when we're young, then don't want it when we're older. Can we tell our age by this means?!
It's wishing the year away maybe - but let's hope for an early Spring?
You have a point there UNCLE STEVE ! Angela & I are still young enough to SKI ~ Sledge down slopes ~ Skate on thin ICE ~ Make Snowmen ~ Have Snowball fights & afford £5000 accident insurance. You & Andy & Mike are spared all that ! Note: I do recognise you as an UNHOLY TRINITY ! Ive added "Let it Snow" TONY BENNETT ~ please check ! Love & Blessings in the Spirit BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Rarely get snow here in MH - hoping it gets filtered by the Derbyshire dales - anyway it's okay today so far.
Thanks UNCLE MIKE ~ None in Essex (YET !) either. We have stayed in Matlock in the Winter and enjoyed the Snow ! Steve mentioned the 70+ not liking SNOW ~ BUT if you have a GRANDSON ~ any excuse for \"Messing about in the SNOW !\" Yours as always BRIAN.
Explanation ofthe Classic Barrel Acrostic added ~ please check ~ B !
Yep. three snowflakes and the UK stops.
"EVERYTHING STOPS FOR SNOW & TEA !"
Thanks UNCLE ANDY pleased you liked it ! One great quality of BRITS is we can laff at ourselves ~ and there is musch to laff about ~ Not just BREXIT !
Blessings & Love to JOYCE & Yourself
BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Being able to laugh at oneself is always a good thing to have.
A great exotic poem, wonderful snowy, ah send some over here to cool us down in the tropics. So is the pic of you and wifey skating newly weds?
Thanks FRIEND ~ Just skating ~ last Year ! We are engaged ~ due to be married @ Easter 2020. Yours BRIAN & ANGELA !
Oh I know the snow's floating causes such chaos but each flake is unique so I am told and is beautiful - - as is the prose of your barrel acrostic A.B.- - great little warning to those who have snow.
