After those wonderful poems, it seems wrong to post a banal reminder about Christmas Dinner replies. But someone was going to have to lower the tone …
Please, can you post response slips and monies into the black mail box at The Rowans before the end of the week? Many thanks in advance!
Little boat, vast ocean
Cold, calm, gentle motion
Flickering, flaring
Soothing, settling
Little boat, vast ocean
Tiny stars, giant moon
Dancing, swirling, darkish loom
Sharp white, lapping light
Tiny stars, giant moon
Little boat, vast ocean
Deafening silence, faithful motion
Sharp shadows
Twinkling turquoise
Little boat, vast ocean
Tiny stars, giant moon
Bright display, blackish loom
Glowing gas
Black, blue
Tiny stars, giant moon.

Light, light in the night,
Why is it so bright?
I hate living in the city.
It seems at night,
That its daylight,
All the street lamps
And signs are terribly bright,
I hate living in the city.
I feel like it’s the sun
It’s so bright,
I’ve said it twice
And I’ll say it again
I HATE living in the city.

The sky is dark, the moon is out,
The animals are in their slumber.
The stars are out
The sun is away for the very next day.
The stars are burning with light
Like diamonds sewn across black silk of the night.
The sky is blacker than coal
From the fire beneath the logs in my home.

Just to let you know that we are trialling an alternative ’email updates’ app which is easier for us to manage and customise, hopefully giving you an even better service. If you have any queries about this, please do get in touch. Otherwise we hope you enjoy our new and improved delivery of the latest news from www.garvald.org.uk, straight to your email inbox.
Thanks to those of you who have pointed out the howling spelling mistake on this year’s Christmas Dinner invite. The perils of checking the spell checker rather than checking the spelling … For the avoidance of doubt, we’re looking for offers of salad or dessert. Sand, camels or anything else desert related would be accepted but not necessarily used on the night!
Keep the acceptances coming. The sooner the better as it helps the catering team plan in advance. And if you’ve lost the offending bit of paper, it can be found on a previous blog post.
