19 Nov 2012, Took another walk a few weeks later and look at how the colours/textures had changed! It makes me think of that weird little Charles Dickens poem…but then again…we used to just childishly laugh about the “gayest of the year”….must be roolly gay! lol.
Merry Autumn Days
By Charles Dickens
‘Tis pleasant on a fine spring morn
To see the buds expand,.
‘Tis pleasant in the summer time
To see the fruitful land;
‘Tis pleasant on a winter’s night
To sit around the blaze,
But what are joys like these, my boys,
To merry autumn days!We hail the merry Autumn days,
When leaves are turning red;
Because they’re far more beautiful
Than anyone has said,
We hail the merry harvest time,
The gayest of the year;
The time of rich and bounteous crops,
Rejoicing and good cheer.
Your site is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good as content as you did, the net will be a lot more useful. E-books are great. Libraries are useless if they don’t ever have the right books you want! Please leave a reply/rep if you like/use them. I stopped years ago. Enjoy reading.
From Cecilia: The only real physical libraries I used in the last decade were the british library and other university libraries. I think people need to re-think what libraries are for these days? It shouldn’t just be a cheap way to keep people employed if they don’t do anything useful at all except waste tax payers money..when money should be spend on free e-books, affordable book readers, people who can add to the cultural sustainability of a community by being creative and original…and put an end to the misery of out-dated libraries with cheap horrid books that they pay for full-price while the same books sit in op-shops for 20 pence! This type of libraries are wasteful and useless. A cultural community center with internet access and great events would be better!
