Leisurely Scribbles II

he continued walking along crumbling cliff tops of white chalk through a countryside that "smelt of fresh paint and flower gardens and tall chimneys ; past Kingsgate as he know approached Broadstairs". " Charles Dickens lived in this house" the sign said on a brick house. [I myself had visited many moons ago with family and kids and dog and oh the mother-in-law, and we had sat on the sand beneath the house that Dickens once lived in. I stood at his desk and looked out of the large bowed window and the chopping sea!]

 

........................he continued out of Broadstairs and arrived at Ramsgate. It was already showing the signs of British decay - the Marine bathing pool [public] had been sadly neglected and "lay vandalized full of empty deckchairs and broken glass......."

[it would seem that as one climbs the social scale; there are attempts to keep things tidier and prettier whilst downwards leads to squalor - this was not always the case even immediately pro- WWII}

 

I will tell you, I have been blessed by holy ones many times, I always say, I am not going up there, I won't know anyone. lol

...............I had once married a Hampshire girl.............some had said 'no stick to ya own town lad ; own county..............be we were the new '60's moving out and onward - and I had arrived in the south. Mind you nearly made it to Jamaica - but then I finally didn't make her! - happy that is!

 

I wasn't born until 66. xxxx

 

drunk as a skunk in a bunk - gawd imagine the threshings!!

 

ah now let me see what was I doing in '66 - one year married perhaps - off to Reading for 18mths to try my lot!

Reading was exciting - bigger than B/stoke and Berkshire not Hants so a different breed who perhaps looked down their noses a bit!

The Fight of Two Wolves Within You
An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life:

“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.

“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil–he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”

He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you–and inside every other person, too.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
