West Norwood Feast of November ~
Another month...another West Norwood Feast!
A lazy venture out after the deluge of rain
Found the stalls and people in action;
A variety of food, plants, music, gifts of all kinds -
And a free coffee and cake with Anna (thank you Anna!)...
With a "Memories of West Norwood" book
written by local people, here is
A woman after my Own Heart!
Memories of the Old..and not so Old
Colour the Vision of the Future...
The Walk of Autumn at Norwood and More ~
Greyness of pigeons pecking through the Autumn leaves
merge with grey clouds hiding an elusive sun after
A misty morning.
The colours of Acer would be gloriously emphasised in sunlight -
Yet Norwood Park holds its' own peaceful aura
No matter what.
What makes the branch of a tree
take a certain direction?
I like to think of a tree as the Life
of a Human Soul.
Sometimes branches are forced as if by
Buses brushing past trees along the pavement -
but mostly, Nature is in charge; thus no two
Trees are the same...
"En retour" the Book and Record Bar is well worth a visit!
Un po' d'Italiano, Il Bosco di Great North Wood ~~
Revisiting the Great North Wood
Sunday, 24th July 2016
It's been some time since any additions here, and, inspired by Brian Cox's latest tv programme, found myself pondering in a quiet moment at the park:-
Every moment has its' space
Unique, isolated space
Being aware
Of the planet turning
Highlights the Space.
Majority of the Time -
Which governs it all
We don't appreciate this Space.
But it is the gift of Life.
Dedicated in Memory to our dear friend Hélène, R.I.P. 27 April 1947-29 June 2016
