the relevant article reads:

"Religious Intolerance once again shows it's ugly head says Goosey Goosey Gander"

"An old man was thrown down the stairs yesterday for refusing to say his prayers. He was a non beleiver and refused to say any prayers in the old people's home. Goosey says religion  should be banned to stop this kind of thing happening again".

Mythical Mail - Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Hupty Dumpty had a great fall

All the King's horses and all the King's men

Couldn't put Humpty together again

Mythical Mail (Hansel & Gretal) & Alpacas in Scotland

I've been to Scotland for a couple of days & saw lots of sheep, quite a few rabbits and these black alpacas

 

Mythical Mail - Page 15, Old King Cole

 Old King Cole was a merry old soul,

And a merry old soul was he;

He called for his pipe,

And he called for his bowl,

And he called for his fiddlers three.

Ev'ry fiddler had a fiddle,

And a very fine fiddle had he.

Tweedle dee, tweedle dee,

Tweedle dee, tweedle dee,

Tweedle dee, tweedle dee,

Went the fiddlers three,

Oh there's none so rare

As can compare,

With King Cole and his fiddlers three.

Mythical Mail - page 9 - There was an Old Woman

[collage, recycled postage stamp]

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe

She had so many children she didn't know what to do

So she gave them some broth without any bread

and she whipped them all soundly & sent them to bed

Mythical Mail - page 7 Jack & Jill

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water

Jack fell down and broke his crown

And Jill came tumbling after.

Up got Jack, and home did trot as fast as he could caper

He went to bed and bound his head

With vinegar and brown paper.

Mythical Mail - page 6 Duke of York

Oh, the grand old Duke of York he had ten thousand men

He marched them up to the top of the hill

and he marched them down again.

When they were up, they were up

and when they were down, they were down

and when they were only halfway up

they were neither up nor down

 

The postage stamps are not my art work but are original ‘recycled’ stamps from around the world. The extra post marks which were not already on the stamps were made with rubber stamps purchased from ‘Crafty Individuals’.

Mythical Mail - page 5 Dr Foster & curly snow

Dr Foster went to Gloucester

In a shower of rain

He stepped in a puddle

right up to his middle

& never went there again

I thought I would also show these photos of the snow on my car windscreen, there wasn't a lot of it, but it had curled over & looked unusual [well I've never seen it do that anyway]. There is not much snow left anywhere else, just on my windscreen
