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 ~~
Domenica, il 14 dicembre 2014
Merging with the scattering leaves
Caught in a gust of wind
along the Great North Wood.
È una giornata bellissima!
Oggi, gli amici del parco
di Norwood dedicaranno
L'Albero di Natale qui...
Mah dov'è? Non ho riesco di trovarlo..
Belatedly added!
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
Thank God for the West Norwood Feast!
4 June 2017 "We're only human, after all" as the famous song goes. Looking around at the Feast, that is exactly it....After the latest terroist attacks, reaffirmation in the diversity of Being Human.
