She was and 'is' an absolute legend! Annie Nightingale! ⭐

The late Radio 1 DJ was inspiring for so many reasons: her unbounded tastes, her all-star connections, and her refusal to be a gatekeeper

It was a privilege to have been a part of this beautiful Memorial Service... 🕯💛
*The Gate Of The Year* ~ by Minnie Louise Haskins

And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year:
“Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.”
And he replied:
“Go out into the darkness and put
your hand into the Hand of God.
That shall be to you better than light
and safer than a known way.”
So I went forth, and finding the Hand of God,
trod gladly into the night.
And He led me towards the hills and the breaking
of day in the lone East. So heart be still:
What need our little life
Our human life to know,
If God hath comprehension?
In all the dizzy strife
Of things both high and low,
God hideth His intention.
God knows. His will
Is best. The stretch of years
Which wind ahead, so dim
To our imperfect vision,
Are clear to God. Our fears
Are premature; in Him,
All time hath full provision.
Then rest: until
God moves to lift the veil
From our impatient eyes,
When, as the sweeter features
Of Life’s stern face we hail,
Fair beyond all surmise
God’s thought around His creatures
Our mind shall fill.

I am a huge appreciator of poetry and prose as a wonderful way to express feelings and thoughts, and trigger a wide spectrum of emotions. We have lost one of our best poets 'Benjamin Zephaniah'... and this is just one of many poems he wrote and performed that speaks volumes.... 💜

*People will always need people*

People need people,
To walk to
To talk to
To cry and rely on,
People will always need people.
To love and to miss
To hug and to kiss,
It’s useful to have other people.
To whom to moan
If you’re all alone,
It’s so hard to share
When no one is there.
There’s not much to do
When there’s no one but you.
People will always need people.

To please
To tease
To put you at ease,
People will always need people.
To make life appealing
And give life some meaning,
It’s useful to have other people.
It you need a change
To whom will you turn.
If you need a lesson
From whom will you learn.
If you need to play
You’ll know why I say
People will always need people.

As girlfriends
As boyfriends
From Bombay
To Ostend,
People will always need people-
To have friendly fights with
And share tasty bites with,
It’s useful to have other people.
People live in families
Gangs, posses and packs,
Its seems we need company
Before we relax,
So stop making enemies
And let’s face the facts,
People will always need people,

Yes
People will always need people. 💜

British Summer Time is getting closer by the day

May you find peace in the promise of the solstice night, that each day forward is blessed with more light.
That the cycle of nature, unbroken and true, brings faith to your soul and wellbeing to you.
Rejoice in the darkness, in the silence find rest, and may the days that follow be abundantly blessed... 💛

Well done Jackie, for creating such tasty bakes for her Coffee Morning to support the Macmillan Cancer fundraising event. They were exquisite. Next time I will have a slice of coffee cake and lemon drizzle and buns, buns, buns. 🍰🧁 😋

*My Perfect Pumpkin Pick*
I picked a pumpkin from the patch, A pumpkin orange and round. It was the best one on the farm, The largest to be found.

I rolled the pumpkin to my house, And carved it right away I filled it up with candle light, And put it on display.

The pumpkin jack-o-lantern, Was as festive as could be I kept it out all autumn long, For everyone to see!
