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.

But, by God's providence, him they catch, With a dark lantern, lighting a match! A stick and a stake...
Wow - that's stunning! The Big Blue!
ReplyDeleteHello! Thanks. I went for a dog walk just before sunset last night and took some shots. I don't like over doing it with the photo editing but this is just played with a little in terms of shade in Picasa. It seems very Halloween to me and I think I should try and add a cartoon bat!
ReplyDeleteI love this photo - love the effect. Quite beautiful! x

Hi Claire! Thank you, it made me feel all Halloween like! I would like to have a Halloween party one year, do the house out properly and invite friends and kids, I think it would be a blast.
ReplyDeleteHey Bowledover and thank you! I can only take credit for one parcel!
ReplyDeleteDo you get trick or treaters your way? We do here but the dogs make such a horrendous noise when they knock they have usually gone by the time I get to the door!
