With little to do today after cutting down some overgrown branches ( I should really learn not to fertilise and prune - too much growth!), I looked for inspiration. This barometer has been with us for about 40 years so deserves a mention.
A poem for @teamoliver;
Whether the weather be fine,
Or whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold,
Or whether the weather be hot,
We'll weather the weather
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not!
40 years, is he still working? This image resonates a hint of political intentions with me had I not read your text. I still think it could be used if not politically it could be accompanied by a nice quote or two. Thanks for sharing with us :)
Oh oh oh! I just read your profile introduction. What is your youtube user name, I would be very interested in seeing some of your 56 videos, the subjects are right up my street.
It does deserve a mention and is a lovely shot. I so enjoy the objects that have been around for a while and still have a place in my home and my heart.
Love the clever poem. How amazing the barometer still does its job after 40 years. Thanks for sharing this interesting story. I agree with you on pruning and trimming.....never ending ;-)
