Was that you yelling from the top of that hill ?
Well it sounded like your voice shouting “JILL!!” Mind you I only heard it once then it started to thunder.. now then that got me thinking “Are you okay I wonder ?”

So I am sending you this message upon my phone coz heaven only know’s if you are all alone ? I will hang around here at the foot of the valley looking up through a ravine in a narrow alley.. Hopefully you will answer me when you get my text..to put me out of my misery or I will call 999 next

About an hour later I decide to get help coz I thought I heard in the distance a faraway yelp..so the emergency services answer my call and come to your aid thinking you have had a fall.. then all of a sudden and from out of the blue someone taps me on the shoulder and Oh my God it is you..

Of course there’s a helicopter overhead.. coz that would be quicker than men climbing instead.. so what can I do but to give them a wave and when they land on the ground.. I say you’ve had a close shave..”Thank you so very much” but I have found my friend.. she is a little shaken up but is on the mend..🤣

This time on September the 1st last year.. Oh yes I can remember this so vivid and clear..Well I was doing exactly what I am doing now but I managed to take a little unwanted trip somehow

As I reminisce roamin’ thru the gloamin’ amidst the purple heather..me and my sweet singing friends.. those birds of a feather..of course I wasn’t watching where I was going whilst the Black-faced ewes were a’toing and a’froing..Now there must have been rock.. it was a great big boulder and I bumped into it and almost dislocated my shoulder

So I lay seeing stars and i thought I was dying witn my pride in pieces as my agony was crying..How can I forget that wonderful walkway when I am following my treads this beautiful day ? Mind you I won’t let that happen again.. it took me a month or so to get rid of the pain..

I curse this crazy Coronavirus that has changed everything.. tho Mother nature is the same with the bird on the wing..  but she is the only thing that has stayed the same.. man is always meddling.. he’s never happy what a shame!!

Well whether this was a deliberate act or an awful accident ..mind you personally speaking I think it was hell bent.. this whole dam carry on is a colassal joke.. spreading like wildfire and killing off folk ..threatening the entire human race.. who ever is responsible is an
absolute disgrace..Hopefully one day soon we will all look back and say.. “Eeeh thank the Lord Covid-19 went away!!”

Those first pair of pretty eyes that we ever see belongs to our Mother as she cradles us so tenderly.. with such a strong undeniable love and we gel with one another like a hand in a glove

Our dear doting Mother is the one whom we can rely from the moment we are born until the day that we die.. she shall be there for us through thick and thin.. til’ the end of eternity and in our living within..nurturing our every single need and fretting as we go out into yon big wide world’s wonderful show

Look after your Mother.. always treat her with respect.. tell her how much she means to you..don’t let love lack in retrospect.. This little lady deserves your worth.. you owe her your life from that day of your birth.. Alas there may sadly come a day when your one faithful friend will pass away.. Please believe me this can happen to everyone.. I broke my heart the day my Mum was gone..

Goodbye August with your summer season.. you have left us sprinkles of showery rain showers no doubt for a reason.. to prepare us for the Autumn and the shorter, darker days..as Mother nature weaves her wonderment with her incredible changing displays

Woodlands everywhere will be blowing in the breeze.. shedding Autumn’s withered, golden leaves from deciduous trees.. carpets of fallen foliage russet and red will be trodden and trampled on as walker’s tread.. And we will wrap up warm and add extra layers of wool as Autumn brings chilly air with weather that is cool

So farewell August as we welcome September.. Ah yes this season will show us recollections we can all remember..our ninth month in the calender year.. full of fantastic Autumn falls with colourful cheer..and of course August whilst it is sad to see you go.. we will look forward to greeting you again next Summertime..of this much we know..

The day after the night before should be fresh in one’s mind..those latest logged memories are easy to find..just stacked on the very uppermost on your noggin shelf..how could you possibly forget what happened yesterday when you were there yourself..?

Yet as one gets older those tracks and traces amidst the brain begin to malfunction time and time again.. so even those little things that you did only yesterday have fallen down from your memory stockpile and somehow got swept away.. Though usually they are retrievable after some necessary concentration..you have delved into that moment of memory lapsed memorable mentation

“Wait a minute.. it is coming back to me” you hear yourself say as people are stood staring at you in your muddled up disarray.. “Ah yes of course I can remember now” and it all comes flooding back.. all of a sudden you see it all from  flashback attack..”Mam how on earth can you not recall what we did from hours ago.. ****** Moses you need to see a Doctor you could have dementia you know”

One hundred buckets of soaked sand he dug up from the beach.. and by the time he’d finished the top it was much too tall to reach..Toby’s sandcastle stood majestic and Oh was so very grand..as people stood around watching him building it by hand

Toby modelled his citadel from the castle on the shore and on it’s final completion his little fingers were getting sore.. with his pitting and patting gelling all the sides together.. his taller brother stuck a flag on the very top of it..he used a feather.. “Wow what a creation”!! passerby’s  stood in awe.. it was worth all his hassle.. Toby’s sandcastle on the shore
