Remember, Remember
English Folk Verse (c.1870) - The Fifth of November Remember, remember! The fifth of November, The Gunpowder treason and plot; I know of no reason Why the Gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot! That's the only portion of this poem I have known up until now, however this year I came across the rest which I have to say I am not in complete agreeance with. Guy Fawkes and his companions Did the scheme contrive, To blow the King and Parliament All up alive. Threescore barrels, laid below, To prove old England's overthrow. But, by God's providence, him they catch, With a dark lantern, lighting a match! A stick and a stake...
Now don't you just wish that tree and surround was in you back garden, lovely picture.
ReplyDeleteI really do! It's a plane tree, Platanus x hispanica, about 28m tall. The the trunk has almost completely occluded the wooden fence post at is' base! The bridge is 18th century.
ReplyDeleteHello Ladybanana! Thank you. It's a private estate unfortunately, unless you join their fishing club or move into one of the residential flats. But at least in it's situation it is afforded some protection and remains intact as a fabulous landscape feature.
