It's been a funny old year.A year of waving flags [and banners & suchlike].Even I Got Into The Act.I guess we shall have more of the same next year.Actually, if you have any more last-minute Christmas presents to buy this afternoon, a nice shiny new flag would not go amiss............I wonder if Marx & Spencers stock them?
I got home drunk last night & posted this video here.My laptop was mute, so I have only just realised that this video was about "British Sea Power" itself.Not the Pop Combo. by the same name.Hey-Hoy, confusing times!
This Is A Sepia Saturday Post.
THIS CLAY JUG
by Kabir
Inside this clay jug there are canyons
and pine mountains, and the maker of
canyons and pine mountains!
All seven oceans are inside, and
hundreds of millions of stars.
The acid that tests gold is there, and
the one who judges jewels.
And the music from the strings
no one touches, and the source of
all water.
If you want the truth, I will tell you
the truth:
Friend, listen:
the God whom I love is inside.

Love your Xmas sidebar! Have a great holiday.
Interesting film. Many similar types of films were produced here to encourage all to participate in the war effort. An amazing step back in time.
nice look back tony...i remember many of the ones for here that i have seen...
i hope you have a very merry christmas!
i would say you still have a very impressive navy
Merriest of Christmases and all that
Our navy isn't what it was, but then, neither is naval warfare. Great archive footage.
Have a splendid Christmas, Tony. All the best for 2012!
Merry Christmas, Tony!
Bexley... very close to home...
Sx
My first Ju-Jitsu class was in Bexley. Happy Xmas. 2012, Year Of The Dragon!
Dear Tony, Merry Christmas to you and yours - I wonder if you stick with any traditions of your heritage and have carp for dinner.;)
Have a great week dear friend,
xoxo
Merry Christmas, Tony.
Happy Christmas, Tony.
See what a little Christmas ‘merriment’ can lead to? Hope yours is a good one.
Never a good idea to post when you've had too much to drink...ha ; )
Hope you have a hippy happy holiday season!
Tony, tony, tony, It's falling into Christmas Eve and I'm so glad I waited to come over and visit your place, because now I have one of the most beautiful poems I've read in a very long time to take me through the night. Every line is wonderful, and Jackie Levin, too.
"And so it is Christmas..." JL
Happy Christmas, my friend xo
Hoping the hangover wasn't so bad... and thanks for pointing out Kabir. I shall look into this. Something there beckons me...
Season's greetings!!
