I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;

And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,

And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;

And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,

And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,

To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;

And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,

And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

I have always loved that poem. 

International Day of Forests and of course for me the most famous Sherwood Forest and Robin Hood of Nottingham.  Here is the Major Oak where it is said Robin used to hide from the Sherrif of Nottingham!

National Fragrance Day.  Do you have a favourite scent?  This is mine.  DH bought it for me when Chanel first launched it and I have worn it ever since.  It is quite a warm, spicy scent which I love.  I cannot wear Chanel No. 5 as my Mom used to wear that and when I smell it, it reminds me of her.

Harmony Day: The State of Being in Agreement or Concord

Well we could do with a bit of Harmony in the World at the moment couldn’t we?  Let us hope that a certain person in Moscow is listening!!!!

My Monday did not start harmonously with my trying to talk to the Tax Office (!) as I was trying to set something up and kept going round and round in circles.  However they could not talk to me as I was not on the account, because I needed to set it up and couldn’t!!!!  Irony right.  Perhaps there is a day for irony!!!!

Have a great week you lovely lot. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Treacle xx
