“Was there ever such a heinous crime as that of fratricide, for what, the stealing of another’s bride, once one’s own brothers wife for sure. May those found guilty of such an act be cursed in people’s memories forever.”

The three ghosts appeared
each a haunting tale to tell
their messages plain
Let us watch the tale unfold
and witness transformation
Memories only
haunt these ancient hallowed halls.
Ghosts in the mind

She stood waiting, confident that it would happen soon. It was not too long before she felt a change in the air. Gulls, floating on the calm waters, suddenly took to the air, their calls raucous and echoing. The sea darkened and as if defying gravity the huge whale broke the surface.

shaft
of light
illuminates one tree
and silhouettes in stark relief
the ravages of Autumn’s dessicating wind and warmth

High above the mist
an unmistakable shape
rock of Avalon
And though our search was ended
our life’s quest had just begun

Typically British, don’t you know

lies in seeing the two teams
playing by the rules.
As players we should always
keep the Spirit of the game.

The Queen, God bless her
A toast to bring joy to all
of British spirit
On the occasion of the announcement of a major Royal event, such as engagement to marriage, the birth of a child or significant Royal birthday it was customary for a signal to be transmitted to all serving members of the British Armed Forces wherever they were, be it on ships or on land in all corners of the world. The signal was generated and was usually personal from Her Majesty The Queen inviting all to join with her in celebration. The instruction would be given to, “Splice the mainbrace!” All were then entitled to draw a free drink which had to be consumed immediately and generally accompanied by the toast as described above. In a true spirit of cameraderie, great joy was felt by all at her generosity.
