raining on our parade?
Here is a still from a 1924 black&white silent movie of The Hebden Bridge Carnival.Click Here to Watch It.
Over the past 4 years it has morphed into The Hebden Bridge Handmade Parade.
The weather forecast for this year's parade on Saturday isn't that clever.11 15 degrees & rain!Keep your fingers crossed that it ain't so!

The Barnsley Kilimanjaro Charity Trek 2011 helping to raise money for a local Hospice.Good Luck To All Concerned.
For my music this week I was going sneak in Dylan singing about being
"I’m ready to go anywhere, I’m ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way
I promise to go under it....................." Until I Saw This Rather Groovy Parody...........
Finally,Some Sepia Poetry..............

(Which the plumber built her)
Aunt Eliza fell–
We must buy a filter.

Little Willie, in the best of sashes,
Fell in the fire and was burned to ashes.
By and by the room grew chilly,
But no one liked to poke up Willie.

“There’s been an accident,” they said,
“Your servant’s cut in half; he’s dead!”
“Indeed!” said Mr. Jones, “and please
Send me the half that’s got my keys.”

Father heard his children scream
So he threw them in the stream
Saying, as he drowned the third,
"Children should be seen, not heard!"

Those poems sure are dark, especially the one about the little boy burning in the fire, but I must be in a weird mood this morning, because I'm still laughing. Brother!
Have a great weekend, and thanks so much for stopping by to say hello.
Take care,
Kathy M.
Now I'm going to go listen to "Mr. Tambourine Man".
Have fun tomorrow! Looking forward to seeeing your photos.
Never mind Jack Kervorkian - did you see Patrick Leigh Fermor finally died. Well he was dead old. I love his writing. I'd always hoped that something hidden away there might be the final part to his travelling from the Hook of Holland or Rotterdam all the way to Constantinople. Imagine - an 18-year-old in 1933. The two books that are published go as far as the Yugoslav border. The third was never written. Or will we perhaps discover that is is published posthumously? I think I would contribute towards the cost is such a manuscript exists.
the last poem was perfect. Of course I find poems on questionable parenting a hoot.
