hi janice, i'll swap my old council house any time to be able to live near the mountains and sea.
hope you find somewhere just as lovely rose !

Hi Stella - I agree with you - where Rose lives sounds lovely and so close to the sea as well. Jx

i know you have reasons for wanting to move rose, but oh it does sound so lovely where you live .

Morning Stella....

yes bring your paints down here and paint the mountains and the estuary...I wish i was talented enough to do that!

but I settle for trying to capture the moods on camera.

Rose xx

Morning Janice (and thanks for PM will reply later!)

I think we have swapped weather then today...as we had the sleet/hail and grey skies all yesterday.

Hoping to crack on with moving furniture etc today and paint a little if my back lets me lol. One small skip load down and a load of stuff for charity shop or something.....note to self....Must do more!

Morning RR and everyone

Had sunny day here yesterday but today very frosty earlier with some sun but now exceedingly grey and just had sleet shower.
Wish I could see snow-capped mountains instead of houses to front, back and one side - at least other side is pine forest! Jx

Rose it's been a strange start to the day today, but finally I think the sun's won......yipeeeeeeeeeeeee

sounds lovely Rose, wish i was there lol

Wrong mountains in the song but still...........

William Percy French, 1854-1920

Oh, Mary, this London's a wonderful sight
With people here working by day and by night
They don't sow potatoes, nor barley nor wheat
But there' gangs of them digging for gold in the streets
At least when I asked them that's what I was told
So I just took a hand at this diggin' for gold
But for all that I found there I might as well be
Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea.
I believe that when writin' a wish you expressed
As to how the fine ladies in London were dressed
Well, if you believe me, when asked to a ball
Faith, they don't wear no top to their dresses at all.
Oh, I've seen them myself and you could not in trath
Say if they were bound for a ball or a bath
Don't be startin' them fashions now, Mary Macree,
Where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea.


You remember young Peter O'Loughlin, of course
Well, now he is here at the head of the force
I met him today, I was crossing the Strand
And he stopped the whole street with a wave of his hand
And there we stood talkin' of days that are gone
While the whole population of London looked on
But for all these great powers he's wishful like me
To be back where the dark Mourne sweeps down to the sea.

There's beautiful girls here, oh, never you mind
With beautiful shapes nature never designed
And lovely complexions all roses and cream
But O'Loughlin remarked with regard to the same
That if at those roses you venture to sip
The colours might all come away on your lip
So I'll wait for the wild rose that's waitin' for me
Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea.
