I have managed to finish my latest page though on the subject of music. The required elements seemed to need singing so I have chosen words form my favourite hymn. How Great Thou Art. Thereby hangs a tale. When I wasabut 12 at Grammar School we had a very good school choir that even broadcast from time to time and it was my ambition to join it, although there was a waiting list. Well, one day the class were singing for the teacher and it was this hymn. I was in my element and completely lost in it, to the extent that I didn't even notice that I was the only one singing! :-) The upshot was an invitation to join the choir, which I did and thouroughly enjoyed. (I'm afraid that I was subsequently made to give it up for being naughty. :-( Our school was a long thin building and if one left by the normal door it was a very long walk to the bus stop. So along with half the rest of the choir I climbed out of the window instead. I was the last to leave and was seen and as I wouldn't say who the others were I had to take the rap and was eveicted form the choir. Poor little me.
I still love that hymn though the words are very meaningful. Here is my page
The bird was a vintage image extracted and made to look like an added stamp. The sun image was recoloured to brigghten it and I used a huge swirl as a symbol of the bird's singing from the heart.
love the page and the story :)
ReplyDeleteAgree about the wind farms - great controversy in Northumberland atm. They are to build a very large on just outside Alnwick - the Duke of Northumberland having sold his soul to the devil for hard cash we suspect(yet again).
Will spoilt a beautiful moor and views to the sea and castles one way and the hills inland.
Thanks Helen.
ReplyDeleteThe one I showed on the other post only has four turbines... but I still don't like them1
