One of the simplest and most lovely of songs
In the library today, last day of college tomorrow.
It doesn’t feel quite real, three years of study almost
The Welsh are asleep in the kitchen chair and Bun is skipping in the garden quite alone.
Like old William before her, she’s chasing honey bees, amid the yellow Welsh poppies and the purple alliums
Like a loon
Suddenly there comes the distant rumble of thunder from across the valley
And she races for home
That post just made me cry
ReplyDeleteAwawww
DeleteWhat a perfect postcard of your day. Thanks, Jonno!

DeleteI enjoyed listening to that mysterious song and I wondered if the old video was of John Garrison's own family. The two went together very well but could you post a clip of you singing it please.

ReplyDeleteThose three years seem to have flown by. Let the new chapter commence! xx
Fingers crossed
DeletePoetry or prose, this post is lovely as is the song.
ReplyDeleteNone of our pets has liked thunder so Bun is not alone in that.
We're awaiting rain with thunder, too.
Hugs!
It tickled me that Bun found her way to the garden, about bloody time
DeleteI burst into tears. Thank you for being here for all of us!
ReplyDeleteThat’s sweet x 🩷🌈🐈⬛

DeleteAll your friends here need a virtual celebration!
DeleteCongratulations! What an amazing accomplishment---I know it was challenging, you made it seem a breeze. So very proud of you. Are you sad to leave college or excited for the future--probably a bit of both.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see some springtime flowers in the garden pics when you have time.

My big goofy black lab bounces around the bees in my garden,trying to get them to play with him. Cutest thing ever.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I’ll be 70 this year and can’t even imagine going back to school! Kathy
ReplyDeleteI love that film. I expect we all have something similar hidden away in the loft.
ReplyDeleteDo you get to wear a gown?
I will
DeleteLovely film and song. Those we love intensely are never far are they - always with us.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing your studies. Hard work and determination carried you through, you should feel proud of your accomplishments. Love the image of Bun chasing bees and flies. Sweet. Carole R.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. Onwards and upwards now.
ReplyDeleteTime flies, when we are doing good things.
ReplyDeleteYes. Just yes.
ReplyDeleteA short but perfectly formed post. And you just know that when a cat runs for the 'safety' of home that you have made it the perfect refuge from the world. Congratulations on finishing your college course. xx
ReplyDeleteLovely descriptive image of your cat. I could imagine the scene.
ReplyDeleteThat was a lovely little film
