  2. Honestly Goatman, dying once was well enough for me thank you! I'm really not looking forward to the next and most likely last time for this life.

    It go against my better judgement to tempt the fates as I am likely to do.

    What's your reasoning?
    I'm always trying to save things I can't see myself.

    Take Care,
    P

  17. Hi Goatman, I just read your comment (thank you for visiting) and alas, no I have no idea, but I will ask DC my husband, he is much more knowledgeable than me and let you know as soon as I can.

    The other ditch is my audio blog Middle Ditch, quirky tales of village life. Each episode is between four and six minutes long. You might like it. It is also broadcast on a French radio station for the expats living there.

  18. Hi, it's me again. DC doesn't know but said try to google him.

    Only just got that joke (stupid me) Middle Ditch lies between Lower Ditch and Higher Ditch ha-ha-ha

    Just posted episode twelve there.

  23. Hi Goatman,
    I stopped by for a visit and a saunter through a gate I see. Poem and painting work well together.

    ReplyDelete
  24. You don't write here often, but when you do, it's always special. I don't mind waiting because I know a visit here is always going to be worth the wait.

    Your poem shows a bit of your courage.

    I sent you an email, to the address that's in your profile.

  26. This is a beautiful blend of painting and poem, Goatman. I especially like these lines:

    "just remember the last time

    wasnt that bad, we only died once!"

    Excellent!

  27. Couldn't help but walk through that opened gate still a curious child! Books on stone walls of New England by Robert M. Thorson might be of interest. We recently attended a lecture on the subject and it was fascinating.
