Afternoon Teas, scones and cakes all round.

Tokyo Rose, had constructive critique with well thought out and explained reasons. You are free to choose whether which to continue to cause offense to readers by using the name. You have been highly critical and judgemental regarding others, so you really are in no position to complain. Judge not lest ye be judged.

I have no intention to engage…[Read more]

Thanks Angel x

How about some tea, made in the pot with tea leaves, and some newe baked cream scones?

Judge not lest ye be judged.

Angel is a lovely chatter, I find she doesnt have this burning desire to criticise me, nor I her.

The Soldier
Rupert Brooke, 1887 – 1915

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England.  There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England’s, breathing Engl…[Read more]

Well,. so,. we have had a few swings and roundabouts,

Let’s get back on track,..

From the ridiculous to the sublime,..

Angel, believe me, I don’t want to get involved with it, but as you can all see she really does put herself up to be shot at. You are all doing exactly what I do, either, feel a need to explain and acquit yourself of her stupid accusations, or, taking a little dig at it. We ALL entertain her whims by doing the above 2 things, except maybe a few…[Read more]

Wallace Stevens – but not for airheads….

Helen Vendler gives astute interpretations of many of Stevens’s poems, but her interpretation of The Snow Man is a poor one, imho. This presentation, with very telling photographs, is a good one, only lasts a minute or so, and should help anyone who is interested enjoy a greater understanding of a very…[Read more]

Very nice video Angel, those country houses look nice for tea and scones. I have been there before ages ago. It’s nicer than Blackpool :) Although Sophia could show me her liverpool anytime :)

Thankyou very much for that Angel x

Maybe so. I never knew who Tokyo Rose was, I never gave it any thought. I assumed she was an aging brass. Now I know who she is, I find it distasteful. The United Kingdom and her allies were at war with Japan and Tokyo Rose was the enemy. Her misleading broadcasts would have lead to allied servicemens deaths. Dare I say it, for us Brits here,…[Read more]
