I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.

Contemplating…2013 27 comments
With 2014 only a few hours away, I have been thinking a lot about what 2013 gave me.
A lot of lows, but in the end, there have been highs aswell.
I have yet again seen myself grown , and hopefully came out stronger then before.
This all with a lot of help from my family, who never gave up,
and special friends, who never stopped believing where I was ready to give up ….
So with this in mind I hope you all leave a good year behind you, and are looking forward to an even better one to come,
And remember,eventhough the settings might not have been, as you expected them to be ,
There will always be new risings …Gelukkig en gezond 2014 from me to you..

It was all on a misty morning
I come to you with love
All on a misty morning
I come to you
I come to you with love

Lady with the hat 13 comments
When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple
with a red hat that doesn’t go, and doesn’t suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
and satin candles, and say we’ve no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired
and gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
and run my stick along the public railings
and make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
and pick the flowers in other people’s gardens
and learn to spit.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow… Leave a comment
“In Flanders Fields” is a war poem in the form of a rondeau, written during the First World War by Canadian physician and Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae.t is one of the most popular and most quoted poems from the war. As a result of its immediate popularity, parts of the poem were used in propaganda efforts and appeals to recruit soldiers and raise money selling war bonds. Its references to the red poppies that grew over the graves of fallen soldiers resulted in the remembrance poppy becoming one of the world’s most recognized memorial symbols for soldiers who have died in conflict. The poem and poppy are prominent Remembrance Day symbols throughout the Commonwealth of Nations, particularly in Canada, where “In Flanders Fields” is one of the nation’s best known literary works.
