Photo-a-Day  (Wednesday, 6th April, 2022)

There's plenty daft in Wigan.

That's lovely. There is something about churches and daffodils. It would make a lovely Easter card.

Lovely photo,does look like an Easter card.x

If Mick had had his way that Church would have been pulled down and he wouldn't have been able to take this photo.

Mick: Have you fell over or something, all I can see is a host of golden daffodils, can’t see a thing over the road, be careful Mick your no spring chicken, when you move to London you know it’s all concrete.

Lovely photo, we have some lovely daffodils next to the canal bridge in Appley Bridge.
Mick have you not gone yet.

spring is with us good photo mick

'He lumbered lonely as a clown,
When all at once he saw a crowd.
He dropped his bike and hit the ground,
Fearing missiles whistling loud,
Amongst the sods he felt safe,
Tho' cowering and trembling at the flat dweller's rage!

Good job this is not St Blaise Cornwall who have banned planting Daff's on council land due to H&S saying Daff's if eaten by humans can cause vomiting and diarrhoea.

We live a daft world, signs saying do this, dont do that. PeterP seen recently on a milk carton ' Warning, this product contains milk ' Good Grief there must be some stupid people walking around.

You're quite the poet, Veronica!

"e" by gum, Veronica!

Joan I saw Mick about 2 weeks ago, he said he was going a couple of days after I had seen him.
This photos would have been taken and sent in to Photo-a-Day some time ago I should imagine

' amongst the sods he felt safe,
Tho'cowering and trembling at the Flat Dweller's chafe!
Irene that's what I should have typed! Grrr

I cycled by the church at Scholes ,
Pedalling slowly because I'm old ,
When all at once I did behold
A host of upright candlestick telephones
That blinded me with yellow light ,
I could not see and fell off my bike .

'Twas lucky I kept my mental power
So fortunate in the circumstance ,
I reached out and plucked a golden flower
And said " Hello could you send an Ambulance ".

Veronica: Very poetic and lament full.
PeterP: It’s also called the yellow dew drop!
Helen: A packet of nuts must have a health warning on them, to warn the person who bought them that the packet contains nuts!

There seems to be an excellent display of Daffodils and other Spring flowers everywhere this year, the bright yellow of Daffodils carpeting the green grass on the roadside verges look superb.

You should have checked up in The Oxford Book of English Verse, Veronica, like Laura advised Fred to do! I LOVED your poem!.....Helen, "this product contains milk"!....what is the world coming to?! In Wigan, a sign you see very often on cars is "No Pies Are Left In This Vehicle Overnight"...I must admit that always make me smile!

He's probably still lying in the grass Poet! Can't get an Ambulance these days.....;>))

naeu then Mick owd fettler, tha'll at'uh get used to a different way uh speakin deawn yonder, here's a few sayings I pick up fer when i wuz lorry driving :- Deawnt Frog un Toad, on't Jack horner, fru the Bobby Moore, up't apples and pears. Aye lad, thi con't speak proply like wot wi con, best uh luck then Mick owd beigh, tha'll need it.

If I should fall in love again,
I'd fall in love with you again...
