| “Hurrah!
– the summer’s here again,
And there’s no better place to be,
Than sitting on the golden sands,
Beside the sparkling sea. ALBIE’S
THOUGHTS – A POETIC JOURNEY THROUGH BYGONE SEASONS is the latest
book of short poems written and illustrated by Ashley Gray who, yet again, has
produced another good helping of enchanting poetry! As
the title suggests, I have been inspired by the passing seasons of a good many
years ago, well before the days of global climate change, when the seasons were
more clear cut. With
thirty-six pages of delightful poetry (including four in Norfolk dialect!) –
many based upon memories of bygone days – there’s bound to be something
nostalgic to suit all tastes. For
a start, there’s Spring Blossoms and Old Father Valentine. Does
he come a-knocking on your door on the evening of 14 February each year, I wonder?
He does on ours, and always leaves a small gift for the children! Read
about the The Storm, when superstitious folk, like us, would cover
the mirror and put away all the knives and forks in case they were struck by lightning! Summer
Frolics on the beach and chips for tea from Norwich Market – then
there’s The Silver Darlings. What are they, you may be wondering?
Or,
how about Bath Night in front of a roaring coal fire or The Christmas
Party and ‘sossidge rolls to eat’! Santa’s Secret will
soon be out – if you buy a copy of the book, that is! There
are many,
many more, of course – and all are exquisitely illustrated to further enhance
the enchanting poems. Albie’s
Thoughts makes
such a wonderful read and is guaranteed to banish the blues, so, why not
send for your copy today? Perhaps you know of someone, that extra-special person
in your life, who would love to receive a copy too – Albie’s
Thoughts makes a lovely gift, anytime
of the year, not just at Christmas. Before
I forget, as in my previous title, Albie’s
Poems, I have included some
poems in the Norfolk dialect. It may seem a foreign language to some, and
it can take a bit of understanding, but it’ll make you laugh – that’s
guaranteed! I
would be more than delighted
to mail you a personally-signed copy, but please
email me in first instance with your address and requirements – I
look forward to hearing from you.
