This is a gem from Kate Shrewsday; , enjoy. 😀
Of late, though fhrewsday hath not fpake, fhe hath learnt much.
Here’s what’s in her head today.
Pope. That’s who: not the Holy Father with the little purple cap and an air of infallibility, but the poet who lived and died an invalid some 270ish years ago.
Alexander Pope. The man who is the second most quoted writer in the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations, just behind Shakespeare, yet who chose to eschew glory at his death and be buried beneath a small paving slab with ‘P’ inscribed in a tiny font in a church in Twickenham.

Kate is a wonderful writer it’s a pity she doesn’t post more often like once a week at least.She has the most delightful way with the English language and is a great exponent of it,, well worth following even though it’s a rarity these days.

I love her post. And the idea of grottoes and special places. I’ve always had them. Well, until now. Maybe it is time again… Thank you for sharing. Do you have your own grotto?

Kate’s work, when she gets around to it, is top notch, first class can’t be bettered, add her to your list and follow her whenever you can. You’ll enjoy the experience.
No I haven’t got a grotto I’m glad I don’t because I think grotto is a very unattractive word, kind of like the Aussie expression grottiy for something not very nice 😈 😀 😛 🐻

Thanks for posting this. As Kate’s posts became less frequent, my attention wandered. I was a regular of hers for a long time.

And thats the end of my sucking up for this year! 😈 😀

She has a marvellous dog named Macauley, I hope he is still with us, and is an animal lover as are you and I, when she goes visiting places like Hampton Court you'll feel you are there with her. 😀 🐻 🙂 😛
