Fire

Fire
blazing flames
shining orange ashes
snap, crackle and popping
dangerous ashy smoke
cozy, toasty
toes

Daddy's driving

Holly: "Daddy... I think you should slow down and slow down and slow down and THEN stop; instead of just driving along THEN STOPPING like you do."

The dreamy lake

Published Monday, April 20, 2009 by Jim Cromwell.

The glittery star like
surface, is as ghost
like as can be
as the sun
shines on
it when...

SUDDENLY a shining white
swan falls out of the sky
SMACK it hits the sky like
surface of lovelyness

Hit on

Published Thursday, April 09, 2009 by Jim Cromwell.

We've had extra swimming lessons all this week. A boy called Owen in Rosie's group, who is "ten years old and in Year 5" rather fancied her.

Rosie: "Owen asked for my phone number. I said I didn't have one."

Maybe he just thought she was a bit short.

Holly doesn't need help

Published by Jim Cromwell.

Daddy was rashly offering advice to Holly about how to do something:

Holly: "I've got my technique. And you've got yours."

True love.....

Rosie had Adam over to play today.
Adam: "Why does Rosie have a sexy bum?"

Daddy did not have a reasonable answer.
