Lily is a flower with a rich and interesting history, known since 1700 BC. It is believed that its name comes from the ancient Gaulish word "li-li", which means "white-white" in translation. The flower, which has gained admirers due to its aesthetics and pleasant aroma, is second only to the rose in popularity and competes with it in the number of symbolic meanings. The image of a lily is a favorite theme of the artisans of Ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt.

 

During the Middle Ages, the lily, which served as an attribute of power, acquired a Christian meaning. The snow-white flower began to symbolize purity, purity and chastity, its image can be found on coins of the 11-12 centuries, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Since the 13th century, the bell bud has become an indispensable element of the image of the Madonna.

 

Lilies of orange-red shades are a symbol of the blood of Christ. The legend says that the white petals changed color on the night before the execution of the Savior. It is believed that the flower turned red with shame, unable to bear the meek gaze of Christ. The ancient Jews believed that "li-li" grew up in the Garden of Eden and was the first to know that Eve succumbed to temptation. Despite what he saw, the beautiful lily remained pure and immaculate, they began to decorate the altars with it. There is a version that the six-pointed star - a well-known Jewish symbol - was created in the likeness of this particular flower.

 

As you know, any flower arrangement has a special meaning, and it must be taken into account when donating. With the help of a well-designed bouquet, you can express your own feelings and evoke emotions in the gifted person. Lily is a multi-valued symbol, so it can be given for various occasions. This flower embodies purity, grace, beauty, luxury. In addition, the snow-white buds symbolize justice, compassion, kindness and mercy. Red lilies mean love and passion, yellow - treason, pink - sophistication, and white - purity and sincere intentions.

" Now I am in your head, your underneath my desire, Please rest your soul on my bed, bounded down to my game, Heed the words I have said, I'll make you go insane.I can't summon any demons, You did, however, summon me, Your act will be judged as treason.... "

Built as the sister castle to Ardfinnan Castle in 1185 by the Lord of Ireland, Prince John of England to guard the river crossing, the castle site was originally occupied by Lismore Abbey, an important monastery and seat of learning established in the early 7th century. It was still an ecclesiastical centre when King Henry II of England stayed here in 1171, and except for a brief period after 1185 (when he had assigned his son King John of England to build a 'castellum' here) when it served as the episcopal residence of the local bishop. It was a possession of the Earls of Desmond, whose lands were broken up during the plantations following the killing of The 14th Earl of Desmond in 1583.

 

In 1589, Lismore was leased and later acquired by Sir Walter Raleigh. Raleigh sold the property during his imprisonment for High Treason in 1602 to another infamous colonial adventurer, Richard Boyle, who was later created, in 1620, The 1st Earl of Cork.

Monument to Marechal Ney in Paris.

 

Michel Ney, one of the original Marshals of the Empire, had a brilliant military career under Napoleon's rule. He commanded the rearguard during the retreat from Russia, for which he was named "bravest of the brave" and, according to the legend, was the last man to leave Russian territory. Not sure what earned him the title of the Prince of Moscow. In the end, he negated his success by too much flip-flopping. He switched allegiance to the Bourbons after Napoleon's defeat, then rejoined him for the 100 days. After the Waterloo, he was charged with treason and executed by a firing squad.

 

I'm not trying to make a political comment here. Well, maybe I am, whether I want it or not. But even I cannot break through all of the layers of allusion here. I just think it is a funny title.

  

Ozalj Castle with a traditional wooden river boat in the foreground

 

The Ozalj fortress, located on the stone cliff perched above the Kupa River, is one of the best-known fortifications of this type in Croatia. It is a very old stronghold (first mentioned in 1244) that has been converted into a castle. The popularity of this castle is because this was the joint castle of the Croatian noble families of Frankopan and Zrinski. In fact, it was the scene of the unsuccessful Zrinski–Frankopan plot against Habsburg rule. The event is known in Croatian history as a 'Zrinski–Frankopan Conspiracy'. The leaders of the plot, Croatian nobles Petar Zrinski and Fran Krsto Frankopan, were executed in Wiener Neustadt, under charges of high treason. The castle was then robbed and abandoned.

 

The ruined castle was restored in the 18th century. Today, it houses a museum and a library, and is in a relatively good state of repair.

Regno Unito, Londra, Tower of London and Tower Bridge, Inverno 2014

 

La Torre di Londra, è uno castello sulla riva nord del Tamigi a Londra. Fu fondato verso la fine del 1066 nel corso della conquista normanna dell'Inghilterra. Il castello è stato usato come prigione, come residenza reale, come uno zoo e ora è un sito turistico molto importante nonché luogo dove vengono custoditi i Gioielli della Corona. Ci sono diverse leggende legate a questo vecchio edificio, fantasmi come quello di Anna Bolena, decapitata nel 1536 per tradimento contro Enrico VIII, che infesterebbe la cappella di San Pietro, dove è sepolta, e si dice che cammini intorno alla White Tower portando la sua testa sotto il braccio. Un'altra leggenda è la presenza di corvi che la tradizione vuole proteggano la Corona, una superstizione sostiene che "Se i corvi sono volassero via dalla Torre di Londra, la Corona cadrebbe e la Gran Bretagna con essa."

 

The Tower of London, is a historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames in London. It was founded towards the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. The castle was used as a prison, as a royal residence, as a zoo and now is a very important touristic site and the home of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom. There are several legends linked to this old building, ghosts as the one of Anne Boleyn, beheaded in 1536 for treason against Henry VIII, allegedly haunts the chapel of St Peter, where she is buried, and has been said to walk around the White Tower carrying her head under her arm. Another legends is about the presence of the ravens that is traditionally believed to protect the Crown; a superstition holds that "If the Tower of London ravens are lost or fly away, the Crown will fall and Britain with it."

Two stories: The rather unexceptional house on the left was once the residence of one of WWII's most reviled individuals; so despised was he that was hung by the British for his deeds in 1946. This, you see, was the childhood home of William Joyce, who broadcast Nazi propaganda on German radio throughout the war years. Popularly known as 'Lord Haw Haw' he was born in America and raised in this house in Co. Mayo. During the Irish War of Independence, Joyce was recruited while still in his mid-teens to work as a courier for military intelligence personnel stationed in County Galway. He was also suspected by the Irish Republican Army of working as an informant for the Black and Tans.

Subsequently moving to England, Joyce became a member of Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists (BUF) from 1932, before finally moving to Germany at the outset of the war where he took German citizenship in 1940.

At the end of the war, after capture, Joyce was convicted in the United Kingdom of high treason in 1945 and sentenced to death, with the Court of Appeal and the House of Lords both upholding his conviction. He was hanged in Wandsworth Prison by Albert Pierrepoint on 3 January 1946, making him the last person to be executed for treason in the United Kingdom.

Now, on to the abandoned bar on the right. Thirty years ago while working in Southern California, the fellow I worked for would tell yarns about a character named 'Digger Jay' who he'd known, and who had eventually moved on to run a bar in Ireland. His nickname had come from his occupation... Jay, it seemed, earned his living digging graves. Now, I have no idea if bar was owned by the same man, but the odds of having two bar-owning Digger Jays seems rather remote, wouldn't you agree? EDIT: Turns out there ARE two Digger Jays!

Pashley Manor has one of the finest gardens in England

 

Nestled in the heart of the High Weald lies a fascinating aristocratic manor - which you can visit. Sussex is full of historical places with connections to the infamous reign of Henry VIII. Whether that be the fascinating museum in Lewes which belonged to Anne of Cleves, or the Ashdown Forest hunting lodge where he came to hunt deer and wild boar.

 

But this unassuming Grade I listed East Sussex manor has its own claim to fame - with links to the most famous of all the six wives, Anne Boleyn. Despite spending most of her childhood in France and the Netherlands, it is strongly believed that the Queen consort was a regular visitor to the family manor in Ticehurst.

 

Similarly to its fellow Tudor manor at Bolebroke Castle which was frequented by Henry VIII, Pashley Manor was used as a hunting lodge. The property was initially under Boleyn ownership around the start of the Wars of the Roses in 1457 after being purchased by Sir Geoffrey Boleyn, Anne's great-grandfather who was the Lord Mayor of London at the time. It was then passed down through the family, with Anne's uncle Sir Thomas Boleyn holding court at Pashley in 1518 - about the time of her childhood.

 

After owning the picturesque manor for almost 80 years the Boleyn family hit their demise following Anne's infamous death. Despite giving birth to a daughter who went on to become Elizabeth I, Anne was causing considerable discontent with Henry VIII as she was unable to provide a male heir.

 

Following her three miscarriages after Elizabeth's birth, the King began courting Jane Seymour. In order to marry her, Henry had to find a way to end his marriage with Anne. In April 1536 she was investigated for treason, which eventually ended up with her being beheaded one month later. As a result of this unfortunate event the Boleyn family were forced to sell the manor to Sir Thomas May.

 

May built the beautiful manor house which can be seen today, while his family descendants added a Georgian facade about 200 years later along with the picturesque kitchen garden wall. It continued to be a wealthy aristocratic lodge throughout the following centuries as its gardens were planted around the oak trees which could date back as early as the 15th century. But despite this considerable transition, the property still exhibits much of the medieval and Tudor relics which add to its allure. According to legend it's even haunted by a pair of ghosts, with one of whom said to be that of Anne Boleyn herself.

 

Pashley Manor is also a former winner of the Christies Garden of the Year award.

 

In modern times the main attraction of the estate is the lush traditional gardens.

Described as 'one of the finest gardens in England', and a former winner of the Christies Garden of the Year award, Pashley Manor Garden has an array of enticing plants and flowers, with excellent views over nearby valleys.

Do you know your Pappenheimers?

 

Pappenheim is a very special town in Bavaria, Germany. For example, the brilliant composer (papa) Haydn wrote the absolute masterpiece 'Pappenheimer Marsch' about Pappenheim's role in the Thirty Years' War. There are now unofficial remix versions of the popular piece in circulation in which hard acid beats also whip up various army units prior to military operations. Pappenheim is also the noble family that for centuries had their main residence in the beautiful castle in my photo. The impressive castle towers high above the historic town and is a real landmark. It's great to watch this from a distance. The fortress has a rich history of bloody battles in which geopolitical interests have played a major role. To come back to the terrible 30 Years War, it is interesting to say that the famous German and Dutch saying or expression 'I know my Pappenheimers' dates from that time. The German general Baron Albrecht von Wallenstein was helped at that time by units of Gottfried Heinrich Graf zu Pappenheim. Von Wallenstein was suspected of treason around 1632. Several regiments had deserted him by then, but the Pappenheimers remained loyal to them and then he said 'I know my Pappenheimers'. More than 100 years later, the phrase became widely known through the famous play Wallensteins Tod by the top writer Friedrich Schiller. The proverb means something like I know who I am dealing or I know them inside out. Nowadays, the saying often has a negative meaning attached to it. That they cannot be trusted. Do you know your Pappenheimers?

 

Deutsch:

 

Kennen Sie Ihre Pappenheimer?

 

Pappenheim ist eine ganz besondere Stadt in Bayern, Deutschland. So schrieb zum Beispiel der geniale Komponist (Papa) Haydn das absolute Meisterwerk „Pappenheimer Marsch“ über Pappenheims Rolle im Dreißigjährigen Krieg. Mittlerweile sind inoffizielle Remix-Versionen des beliebten Stücks im Umlauf, in denen harte Acid-Beats auch diverse Armeeeinheiten vor Militäreinsätzen aufpeitschen. Pappenheim ist auch die Adelsfamilie, die in dem schönen Schloss auf meinem Foto jahrhundertelang ihren Hauptwohnsitz hatte. Die imposante Burg thront hoch über der historischen Stadt und ist ein echtes Wahrzeichen. Es ist toll, das aus der Ferne zu beobachten. Die Festung hat eine reiche Geschichte blutiger Schlachten, in denen geopolitische Interessen eine große Rolle gespielt haben. Um auf den schrecklichen 30-jährigen Krieg zurückzukommen, ist es interessant zu sagen, dass das berühmte deutsche und niederländische Sprichwort oder der Ausdruck „Ich kenne meine Pappenheimer“ aus dieser Zeit stammt. Dem deutschen General Baron Albrecht von Wallenstein wurde damals von Einheiten von Gottfried Heinrich Graf zu Pappenheim geholfen.Von Wallenstein wurde um 1632 des Hochverrats verdächtigt.Mehrere Regimenter hatten ihn inzwischen verlassen, aber die Pappenheimer blieben ihnen treu, und dann sagte er: „Ich kenne meine Pappenheimer“. Mehr als 100 Jahre später wurde der Satz durch das berühmte Theaterstück „Wallensteins Tod“ des Spitzenschriftstellers Friedrich Schiller weithin bekannt. Das Sprichwort bedeutet so viel wie Ich weiß, mit wem ich es zu tun habe oder Ich kenne meine Leute.Heutzutage hat der Spruch oft eine negative Bedeutung.Dass man ihnen nicht trauen kann. Kennen Sie Ihre Pappenheimer?

 

Nederlands:

 

Kent u uw Pappenheimers?

 

Pappenheim is een hele bijzondere stad in het Duitse Beieren. Zo schreef de geniale componist (papa)Haydn het absolute meesterwerk 'Pappenheimer Marsch' over de rol van Pappenheim in de dertigjarige oorlog. Er zijn inmiddels onofficiële remix versies van het populaire stuk in omloop waarbij ook in onze huidige tijd harde acid beats verschillende legereenheden voorafgaand opzwepen bij militaire operaties. Pappenheim is ook de adellijke familie die eeuwenlang hun hoofdresidentie hebben gehad in de prachtige burcht op mijn foto. De indrukwekkende burcht torent hoog boven het historische plaatsje uit en is een echt herkenningspunt. Het is geweldig om dit van een afstand te aanschouwen. De burcht heeft een rijke geschiedenis van bloederige veldslagen waarbij geopolitieke belangen een grote rol hebben gespeeld. Om terug te komen op de verschrikkelijke 30 jarige oorlog is het wel interessant om te vertellen dat het beroemde Duitse en Nederlandse gezegde of uitdrukking 'Ik ken mijn Pappenheimers' stamt uit die tijd. De Duitse veldheer Baron Albrecht von Wallenstein werd in die tijd geholpen door eenheden van Gottfried Heinrich Graf zu Pappenheim. Von Wallenstein werd rond 1632 verdacht van landverraad. Verschillende regimenten hadden hem toen in de steek gelaten, maar de Pappenheimers bleven hen trouw en toen heeft hij daarna gezegd 'ik ken mijn Pappenheimers'. Meer dan 100 jaren later werd de uitdrukking algemeen bekend door het beroemde toneelstuk Wallensteins Tod van de topschrijver Friedrich Schiller. Het spreekwoord betekent zoiets als ik weet met wie ik te doen heb of ik ken mijn mensen. Tegenwoordig wordt er trouwens bij het gezegde veelal een negatieve betekenis aan gekoppeld. Dat ze juist niet te vertrouwen zijn. Kent u uw Pappenheimers?

Named after, Edith Cavell, a British nurse. "She is celebrated for saving the lives of soldiers from both sides without distinction and in helping some 200 Allied soldiers escape from German-occupied Belgium during the First World War, for which she was arrested. She was subsequently court-martialled, found guilty of treason and sentenced to death. Despite international pressure for mercy, she was shot by a German firing squad. Her execution received worldwide condemnation and extensive press coverage." - Wiki

Bartolomějská street was built in the 13th century and was called originally "Venetian". Of course over the centuries many events took place. This narrow street name was only whispered by people in the middle of the last century. What happened in Police station in No 14, after 1948-to late 1980's was torture and investigation procedure using drugs to obtain info from ordinary people, intelligencia and outspoken individuals. Forcefully obtained confessions were used fabricated trials for treason and anti-state activity. People were mangled, maimed for life and many died after being interrogated. The State Police (separate from regular police) had in the 1980's about 100,000 employees and collaborators. People could not trust their neighbours.

Happy Saturday for Stairs!

 

The Canongate Tolbooth is a highly distinctive building, and its clock if often photographed by passing tourists. As well as being an interesting and important building, the Tolbooth is a reminder that at one time the Canongate was separate from the Royal Burgh of Edinburgh.

 

The Tolbooth was built in 1591 and would have formed the local hub for the Canongate burgh, along with the nearby Mercat Cross where merchants met and conducted their business. The Tolbooth would have had many functions, serving as courthouse, burgh jail and meeting place of the town council. The building was constructed for Sir Lewis Bellenden, the justice-clerk for the burgh, and his initials can still be seen over the archway to Tolbooth Wynd.

 

As the Canongate’s main public building it was designed to look impressive and express the burgh’s pride in its long history. The tower over Tolbooth Wynd has small turrets added, known as ‘bartizans’, as well as gun loops to give a sense of ancient battlements. Next to it is the courthouse block, with a staircase, or ‘forestairs’, leading up to its main entrance on the first floor. Look out for the plaque celebrating King James VI as well, complete with latin inscription and a large thistle.

 

The ground floor was used as a prison, mainly for those unable to pay fines or for minor misdemeanours, but on occasion it was used to hold people on behalf of the government. Certainly during the 17th century many captured Covenanters were held in the Canongate Tolbooth, accused of treason.

However there were several escapes, leading to the jailer James Park and his assistant being sent to prison themselves in 1681. This did not stop the breakouts though, and in 1684 around ten prisoners escaped by breaking into the lofts of the house next door. The following year five more prisoners escaped, and the new jailer Walter Young was brought before the Privy Council and sentenced to a spell in prison himself. By the 18th century the Tolbooth’s jail seems to have been mainly used for debtors, and it was said that: “…the better sort are commonly taken to this prison, which is well aired, has some decent rooms, and is kept tolerably clean.”

As the city grew in the 19th century so the importance of the Canongate as a separate burgh declined, and the Tolbooth became less and less important, and in 1856 the burgh was finally incorporated into the city of Edinburgh. In 1875 the city architect Robert Morham started renovations of the Tolbooth, attempting to bring it back to its original appearance, while adding touches of his own. The most obvious change came in 1884 when the clock was added, sticking out into the street on brackets and enhancing the building’s characteristic silhouette.

Today the Tolbooth is open as a museum, the ‘People’s Story’, telling the history of ordinary Edinburgh folk over hundreds of years. It comes complete with a reconstructed jail cell, enabling visitors to perhaps imagine how they themselves could have escaped.

My passionate friend (when it comes to photography) informed me that there were poppies in the field.

 

So this was my reward for getting up at 3.30 this morning. When I dream I tend to oversleep but luckily I heard the alarm. It would have been treason not to, I'm only going into the Dorset countryside not up Kilimanjaro..lol.

 

So on this all day Pop master.. any takers for this band?

Running out of time, we better go...

 

Angel or Demon, I gave up my soul...

 

I'm guilty of treason, I've abandoned control...

Several thousand people in Montenegro have protested the new government’s plan to amend a controversial law on religion.

 

Protesters chanted “Treason” and “This Is Not Serbia” as they gathered on December 28 outside the parliament building in the capital Podgorica, where lawmakers planned to discuss the proposed changes.

 

Under Montenegro's new religion law, adopted in January, religious communities must prove property ownership from before 1918.

Regno Unito, Northumberland, Craster, Estate 2014

 

Sulle alte scogliere affacciate sul Mare del Nord, si trovano le rovine del castello di Dunstanburgh. Un tempo era il più grande castello in Northumberland ma oggi ne rimangono solo alcune rovine, come risultato delle molteplici battaglie subite. Il castello fu costruito nel 1313 da Tommaso il Plantageneto che fu poi giustiziato per tradimento dal cugino re Edoardo II. Il boia necessitò di undici colpi di decapitarlo e per questo motivo fantasma del Conte è stato avvistato intorno al castello, con la sua testa maciullata tra le mani e un’espressione di dolore e terrore sul viso. Il castello è associato con la leggenda di Sir Guy. Questi era un cavaliere che giunse al castello di Dunstanburgh, dove un lo accolse e lo introdusse all’interno. Qui s’imbatté in una nobile signora imprigionata all'interno di una tomba di cristallo e sorvegliata da un esercito addormentato. Il mago gli propose di scegliere una spada o un corno da caccia per liberare la donna ed egli scelse in modo non corretto il corno, che svegliò i cavalieri. Sir Guy si ritrovò fuori del castello, e trascorse il resto della sua vita cercando di trovare un modo per tornare dentro.

 

High upon the cliffs along the North Sea, reside the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. It was once the largest castle in Northumberland, but today only fragments of it remain as the result of many wars. The castle was built in 1313 by Thomas Plantagenet who was later executed for treason by his cousin King Edward II. The executioner needed 11 strokes to decapitate Thomas and for that reason the Earl’s ghost has been spotted around the castle carrying his mangled head, with a facial expression still bearing the pain and horror he suffered. The castle has associated with the legend of Sir Guy. Sir Guy was a knight who arrived at Dunstanburgh Castle, where he was met by a wizard and led inside. There he came across a noble lady imprisoned inside a crystal tomb and guarded by a sleeping army. The wizard offered Guy a choice of either a sword or a hunting horn to help free the lady; he incorrectly chose the horn, which woke the knights. Sir Guy found himself outside the castle, and spent the rest of his life attempting to find a way back inside.

 

I Can't See The Forest For The Trees

Been running on empty in this rat race,

Like trying my damnest to understand the reason,

Is why we live in a vacuum of disgrace

Notice we live life like animals committing treason.

Donning masks and disguising our face

 

Tell me, just who are we trying to appease there son?

Oh and remove that faux camouflage ,

 

And open up your eyes and you can plainly see

Life is a forest, we are the trees-it's no mirage

Let's be aware the foliage is but you and me.

He is a stain on history, an entity only the devil would admire. He is under qualified to pick up garbage and has only gotten his way through grifting and deceit. In every other reality, he is in a prison cell. He was never my president and I will never call him that. He has committed rape and treason and is now responsible for more deaths than the sum total of victims of every serial killer in American history combined. This fascist must go!

Okehampton Castle, nestled in the Devon countryside, is a striking ruin with nearly a millennium of layered history. It began life shortly after the Norman Conquest, between 1068 and 1086, when Baldwin FitzGilbert, a Norman noble and Sheriff of Devon, built it to secure the region after a local rebellion. He established it as the caput (head) of the Honour of Okehampton—a vast estate of around 200 manors.

After Baldwin’s death, the castle passed through his descendants until it reached Hawisia, who married Reginald de Courtenay in 1173. This marriage brought the castle into the hands of the powerful Courtenay family, who would hold it for nearly 300 years. The Courtenays rose in prominence, becoming Earls of Devon, and transformed the castle from a military stronghold into a luxurious residence and hunting lodge. They added a deer park and elegant lodgings that made the most of the sweeping views.

However, the family’s fortunes were turbulent. During the Wars of the Roses in the 15th century, the castle was confiscated and returned multiple times depending on which royal house held power. The final blow came in 1538 when Henry Courtenay, then Marquess of Exeter, was executed by Henry VIII for alleged treason. The castle was seized by the Crown and fell into disuse.

By the 17th century, parts of the castle were repurposed as a bakery, but by the 19th century it had become a romantic ruin, attracting artists like J.M.W. Turner who were drawn to its picturesque decay. Today, it’s managed by English Heritage, and visitors can explore its dramatic motte, ruined towers, and woodland trails—especially magical when the bluebells bloom in spring.

Remember, remember, the Fifth of November

Gunpowder treason and plot

I see no reason why gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot

We cannot "heal" until every treasonous tyrant is held accountable. New information is coming out every day that this insurrection was far more violent than anyone realized with people having specific targets of congressional leaders as well as VP Mike Pence that they wanted to assassinate to re-install Trump in power. People may ask why impeach now? The answer is pretty clear:

 

"If a president is impeached, convicted, and removed from office, they lose many of the benefits awarded to former presidents, such as a pension, security detail, and travel allowance. A president who is removed from office via impeachment may also be barred from holding future office."

 

The violent white supremacists on Wed, should be held accountable as should every lawmaker who encouraged the incitement of violence. We cannot allow people who swore an oath to the constitution and refused to abide by that oath to continue to hold power and somehow represent Democracy. No, that will not stand, and no we will not heal without accountability.

OUT through the fields and the woods

And over the walls I have wended;

I have climbed the hills of view

And looked at the world, and descended;

I have come by the highway home,

And lo, it is ended.

The leaves are all dead on the ground,

Save those that the oak is keeping

To ravel them one by one

And let them go scraping and creeping

Out over the crusted snow,

When others are sleeping.

And the dead leaves lie huddled and still,

No longer blown hither and thither;

The last lone aster is gone;

The flowers of the witch-hazel wither;

The heart is still aching to seek,

But the feet question 'Whither?'

Ah, when to the heart of man

Was it ever less than a treason

To go with the drift of things,

To yield with a grace to reason,

And bow and accept and accept the end

Of a love or a season?

Private Investigations

 

It's a mystery to me

The game commences

For the usual fee

Plus expenses

Confidential information

It's in a diary

This is my investigation

It's not a public inquiry

 

I go checking out the report

Digging up the dirt

You get to meet all sorts

In this line of work

Treachery and treason

There's always an excuse for it

And when I find the reason

I still can't get used to it

 

And what have you got at the end of the day ?

What have you got to take away ?

A bottle of whisky and a new set of lies

blinds on the window and a pain behind the eyes

 

Scarred for life

No compensation

Private investigations

Remember, Remember, the 5th of November

 

Singing a nursery rhyme is a great way to bond with your little one. Have a go at following the rhyme lyrics and watch the video below.

 

This nursery rhyme is about the Gunpowder Plot which took place on the 5th November in 1605 when Guy Fawkes and his co conspirators attempted and failed to blow up the Houses Of Parliament. Every year on the 5th Nov is Guy Fawkes Night or Bonfire Night to commemorate this!

 

Remember, remember, the 5th of November,

 

Gunpowder, treason and plot.

 

I see no reason

 

Why gunpowder treason

 

Should ever be forgot.

 

V for vendetta

She's taking her time making up the reasons

To justify all the hurt inside

Guess she knows from the smiles and the look in their eyes

Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one

They're saying

Mama never loved her much

And daddy never keeps in touch

That's why she shies away from human affection

But somewhere in a private place

She packs her bags for outer space

And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot

To come (and she'll say to him)

She's saying

I would fly you to the moon and back

If you'll be if you'll be my baby

Got a ticket for a world where

We belong

So would you be my baby

Ooh-ooh

She can't remember a time

When she felt needed

If love was red then she was colour-blind

All her friends they've been tried for treason

And crimes that were never defined

She's saying

Love is like a barren place

And reaching out for human faith is

Is like a journey I just don't have a map for

So baby gonna take a dive and push the shift to overdrive

Send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars

(What a pleasant dream) just saying

I would fly you to the moon and back

If you'll be if you'll be my baby

Got a ticket for a world where

We belong

So would you be my baby

Ooh-ooh

I would fly you to the moon and back

If you'll be if you'll be my baby

Got a ticket for a world where

We belong

So would you be my baby

Ooh-ooh

Mamma never loved her much

And daddy never keeps in touch

That's why she shies away from human affection

But somewhere in a private place

She packs her bags for outer space

And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot

To come (and she'll say to him)

She's saying

I would fly you to the moon and back

If you'll be if you'll be my baby

Got a ticket for a world where

We belong

So would you be my baby

Ooh-ooh

I would fly you to the moon and back

If you'll be if you'll be my baby

Got a ticket for a world where

We belong

So would you be my baby

Ooh-ooh

 

This little packhorse bridge dating from the 1700s crosses the River Coly on the north side of Colyton in East Devon.

 

Colyton first appeared as an ancient village around 700 AD and features in the Domesday Book as 'Culitone'. It grew into an important agricultural centre and market town with a corn mill, saw mill, iron foundry and an oak bark tannery that is still functioning. The pretty little town is the final stop on the Seaton tramway, which runs mostly alongside the River Axe.

 

The town has been described as "the most rebellious town in Devon" due to the number of its inhabitants who joined the Monmouth Rebellion in 1685. The Duke of Monmouth landed at Lyme Regis and attempted to gather an army to overthrow King James II. The rebellion failed and Monmouth was beheaded for treason on 15 July 1685. Many of his supporters were tried during the Bloody Assizes, led by Judge Jeffreys, and were condemned to death or transportation.

Chirk Castle (near Llangollen) was built c.1300 by Sir Roger Mortimer of Chirk. He couldn't enjoy it very long though, as he spent the last 4 years of his life locked up in the Tower of London, where he died in 1326, accused of treason.

The castle is now cared for by the National Trust.

We visited it in the late afternoon, hence the long shadows.

"I sit beside the fire and think

Of how the world will be

When winter comes without a spring

That I shall ever see

 

I sit beside the fire and think

Of people long ago

And people who will see a world

that I shall never know

 

I sit beside the fire and think

Of older times that were before

I listen for returning feet

And voices at my door

 

On high above the mists I came

A distant flame before the sun

A wonder ere the waking dawn

Where grey the nordlands waters run

In elder days and years of yore

 

Now behold the awful price of treason

Through dreams I influence mankind"

Remember, remember, the fifth of November

Gunpowder treason and plot

We see no reason

Why Gunpowder treason

Should ever be forgot….
