It's Halloween and the Brexit deadline
I don't much care for either
I do however have a stash of sweets hidden away in the kitchen just in case some brave soul tries to negotiate the adventure playground which is my cottage garden path in the dark!
I seem to remember last year's shenanigans where Affable despot Jason and a hoard of kids ran around the Churchyard like loons!
great fun!
Last night I watched a few minutes of the documentary that was publicizing the recording of Children In Need charity album and I just caught, mad-as-a-badger Helena Bonham Carter singing Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now
We only glimpsed the performance but something in it caught my attention and it moved greatly
I am loving you most loved artwork entries..please keep them coming ,,,,,,,,little snippets of brightness on a grey day...……..I think Both Sides Now has made me somewhat melancholic
email them to me jgsheffield@hotmail.com
I am a liking this art "competition". Today I particularly like Marc Chagall and his painting The Sabbath!
ReplyDeleteI love the smiling bubble :-)
ReplyDeleteGet carving your obligatory pumpkin you Auld whyte Witch 🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
ReplyDeleteIn that TV programme I was much more moved by Jodie Whittaker's heartfelt version of "Yellow" by Coldplay. It was wonderful to hear her singing in a Yorkshire accent and for her late nephew who was evidently afflicted by Down's Syndrome.
ReplyDeleteTjalf Sparnaay, the food painter is amazing.
ReplyDeleteGosh - What a beautiful piece of music - I didn't recall the title but when I played it I remembered it well. The art entries are superb - I love the pig. Happy Halloween!!!
ReplyDeleteSadly I shall miss the Halloween callers as will be stuck in hospital tonight.
ReplyDeleteI have a copy of John Singer Sergant's Carnation Lily Lily Rose. Love the man holding the baby and dog with ball.
That's my Dad and youngest son at their first meeting, painted by the baby in the picture ... now that he's 32 as a gift for my mum :-)
DeleteThat is a stunning picture x Hwyl Suz.
DeleteThe pumpkin in the window is delightful. Suits me to a T.
ReplyDeleteI love the bubbles, but had to chuckle at the picture under it that I take to be Little Red Riding Hood. Methinks she's looking good ...!
ReplyDeletePerhaps if you make a pumpkin pie, the day will sweeten up?
Hugs!
I thought for a moment that the final guy, the regency buck, was reading his cell phone!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween, even if it's not your favourite holiday. I'm enjoying all the art photos people are sending in. I must find something to send as well.
ReplyDeleteI love this mature version of Both sides now like Joni we are all older now and the song takes on a new meaning. I love all the art work I hope we don't get to many children come by because I have almost eaten all the candy.
ReplyDeleteI loved that John,but found it painful-it gets me right in the stomach.I think the pictures are wonderful and I'm so enjoying them all- I can't see my 2 though so I'll have another go-don't know what I'm doing wrong x
ReplyDeletePs -that's a lovely pumpkin glowing invightingly in your cottage window this evening John,and so nicely carved x
DeleteI love the art. Especially the UN-famously ones.
ReplyDeleteOh, best-loved artwork. I see. (How did I get so far behind on your blog?!) I do love that Sargent painting of the girls in the garden with the lanterns.
