It hasn’t gotten much over freezing all day.
The neolithic burial mound on top of Gop Hill is dusted with snow and stands out in relief against the blue sky.
On and around it are the black spots that are the village children and their squeals of delight as they snowball and sledge can be heard down at the cottage, where I have lit the stove early.
Trendy Carol tottered past on the ice wearing a smart faux fur number
I dozed in the armchair after an icy walk.
But I didn’t dream of Mr Hemingway again,
Which was a shame .
Thinking back to yesterday, the worst dandruff I ever saw was on Ted Hughes, shoulders - a veritable avalanche. Not a good look. But then, not a particularly pleasant person to meet either.
ReplyDeleteHe always looked mean
DeleteIt's lovely to hear children laughing...especially if you can then go in and sit by your woodburner. I have a sizeable brick built outbuilding, with double doors and a window; if I put a woodburner in there, but kept the doors and window open, would it count as 'outside'?
ReplyDeleteAffable despot jason has an outhouse converted into a little den complete with wood burner and bar
DeleteThat sounds lovely
DeleteI wish we had a local neolithic burial mound. Perhaps we do and don't know it.
ReplyDeleteOurs is the second largest in the whole uk
Delete"It would have been a pretty dream, Brett. Pass me the wine."
ReplyDeleteOne I’ve never read
DeleteWhat ancient surroundings are in view of your home! Come to think of it, that's true everywhere, but not all very old cultures left the evidence of themselves as those that are apparent in the UK, Italy, Greece, and elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the cozy cheer of your home sweet home.
Hugs!
Neolithic is pretty old
DeleteI am back home but we do not have any snow on the ground here surprisingly.
ReplyDeleteI stood on a Roman Burial mound looking out to sea in high winds and leaned back a little with my dogs-it held me safely for a while x
ReplyDeleteThe view from the top is phenomenal
DeleteSledding down the ancient graves of their ancestors -- the circle of life!
ReplyDeleteI never thought of that
DeleteProbably just as well...that waking up disappointed feeling is just awful.x
ReplyDeleteI know that happened yesterday
Deletestay safe and warm, john and furkids. it's sunny but cold over here at 2:05p.
ReplyDeleteYou too deArheart x
DeleteYesterday I had a vivid dream of Tom Hiddleston. No complaints. He was not disappointing.
ReplyDeleteI can tell lots of hormones are circulating
DeleteA shame Mr. Hemingway didn't visit again. You'll just have to look at his photo and daydream. Stay warm and cosy in your lovely cottage and enjoy the rest from work. xx
ReplyDeleteI’ve read, and dozed and watched a movie and dozed and made soup
DeleteIf you had repeated the dream it would no longer be special. On the other hand, if you had repeated the dream, you might start worrying instead! Hmnn....
ReplyDeleteI’d like it again
DeleteWorry tomorrow
Ha! Or not at all!
Deletewhen i die i hope little kids sled on me. after i am buried preferably.
ReplyDeleteNicely put
DeleteI rather second Jaz's wish... though I should hope they fall upon their little crowns as the reach the bottom of mine... yes... children... not a fan.
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteCozy up, and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI’m cozy and somewhat bored x
ReplyDeletePhone a friend? Do a puzzle? Write a book? Work on your clay figures? I am glad you are getting to relax as you do deserve it!
ReplyDeleteI have made a rather delicious curry and have shampooed the spare bedroom carpet too
DeleteI'm sure our neolithic ancestors would be delighted that the local kids are having such fun on their burial mound.
ReplyDeleteNice to think so ..recycling sort. Of x
DeleteI love to watch children sledding. It makes me want to join them! It sounds like a perfect day to enjoy your warm and cozy cottage.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great photo.
ReplyDeleteThank u
DeleteYour burial mound reminds me, I'm reading a terrific little book of essays by Welshman Byron Rogers, "An Audience with an Elephant", many with a Welsh flavour, which you may enjoy, if not already read.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a dream that Hemingway was creeping up on me in the dark, that would be a nightmare. Maybe it' living in the shadow of Gop Hill.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Neolithic children were allowed the same privilege? Somehow, I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteHemingway is a dream slut.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you'll dream of kissing Doris Day, which will seem to you like kissing Ernest Hemingway... which in my book sounds a whole lot better.
ReplyDelete"gotten"? from a Welshman? Clearly your encounter with Mr Hemingway has influenced your words.
ReplyDeleteI’m easily swayed
