Happy birthday, dear Stephen! Hope you've had a fabulous day.



A Birthday Poem by Ted Kooser

Just past dawn, the sun stands
with its heavy red head
in a black stanchion of trees,
waiting for someone to come
with his bucket
for the foamy white light,
and then a long day in the pasture.
I too spend my days grazing,
feasting on every green moment
till darkness calls,
and with the others
I walk away into the night,
swinging the little tin bell
of my name.

I just love this poem: magic! Thankyou!

Yes had a happy family gathering which at one point achieved an eccentric but enjoyable rendition of 'Spanish Ladies' with a scratch family vocal ensemble + harpsichord.

It wasnt as hectic a tempo as with these two great guys, and fair play to them both for their love of Guinness & deprecation of the British Empire. . .
