Favourite pastimes, visiting antique fairs etc., Driving around Scotland on a lovely day with my husband, walking grand-dog, specially on a sunny day. Collecting local postcards, and keeping young(?) hearing of my 2 teenage granddaughters' exploits. Gardening is fun too, until the aches and pains kick in!!

A BOAT BENEATH A SUNNY SKY

A BOAT beneath a sunny sky,
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July --

Children three that nestle near,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Pleased a simple tale to hear --

Long has paled that sunny sky:
Echoes fade and memories die:
Autumn frosts have slain July.

Still she haunts me, phantomwise,
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes.

Children yet, the tale to hear,
Eager eye and willing ear,
Lovingly shall nestle near.

In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die:

Ever drifting down the stream --
Lingering in the golden gleam --
Life, what is it but a dream?

by Lewis Carroll
