I love Autumn

A lot of people complain when they feel the weather change

. Me it calls my name, Down paths covered with leaves To memories of listening to the howling breeze To raking up piles of leaves To flying kites in the breeze To making scarecrows, To seeing fireworks soar in the night sky To wearing warm mittens and cozy coats. Yes indeed. I can truly say I am British and love the Autumn weather. Wishing you lots of Tasty English Delights

Scarecrows.

It's that time of year. When the sweaters are found and coats, hats and mittens are gathered up for the winter days ahead. But for me and my family October means scarecrows go out to decorate our porch. When I was a child the only scarecrow I made was for Guy Fawkes night. But today even though my scarecrows were bought there is an art to making them. Here are some that I have found on the internet. Look around you, see if you can see some. Perhaps even take the time to make one.

Welcome Autumn, Welcome falling leaves and welcome to the crisp walk down wooded roads that lead us to our homes. Wishing you lots of Tasty English delights There's always room for one more.

Prince William and Gallant knight to his wife.

I loved Princess Diana,she was amazing. To me it is precious to see how her oldest son has stood up against the tabloids that have printed topless photos of his wife. The statement by those tabloids, that they should publish them because it is just like any other superstar and i have written that in my own words is utter rubbish. A superstar will never see their husband become King nor will they ever have to deal with the matters of a country. So reality check tabloids.Have a reality check and do what is right. I once wrote on here about knights in shinning armor, I wonder at times is there any. To see Prince William stand by his wife and not put up with this nonsense should perhaps send the message home to many men and husbands. So be the Gallant knight and stand and defend your wife. Prince William my wish is that others stand and be more Gallant like you. There's always room for one more knight in Shinning armor.

The Olympics verses Paralympics 2012

The Olympics was broadcasted a lot in the USA but I have not seen the Paralympics mentioned at all. It seems a shame. I have heard that a lot of tickets were sold , my sister who lives in London said that the tickets were a lot cheaper to see the Paralympics, in truth it should be the other way around. These men and women have had to face challenge after challenge. I am not saying that men and women in the Olympics do not but to me the men and women in the Paralympics have to had to face more challenges than many of us will ever face. Perhaps in years to come they both will be broadcasted like equals. Until then to me it appears like segregation in a class boys on one side girls on another. We are all equal aren't we... ? then how come the television networks saw only to broadcast one intensly and not the other. Does it boil down to money and how many ratings they would get...it should boil down to being a human. Everyone's story is a hope to encourage another isn't it? I would of loved to heard the stories of many at the paralympics not just the Olympics. Will they get the same hero welcome? It is as if nothing really changes, people are still judged and segregated even in 2012. My hope is that we all stand and so when the next Olympics comes both lights will be shone brightly for all the world to see. There's always room for one more.

Paralympics 2012 Shines a Light

The Paralympics had it's opening ceremony in London yesterday. It has not been televised as much as the Olympics. To me perhaps they should go first and then the Olympics games next. These men and women represent hope for all. I view it that it helps me to know that even through difficult times, if I push on, there can be hope. It is in moments when you see a gold won in the next few weeks that it should make us realize that all things are reachable. Reaching beyond what we can see and holding onto a vision that only God can see. Hope is found in these men and women and shame to the television companies that choose to not broadcast it. I thought in a world where everything is so politically correct this might well be termed prejudice, but who am I. Look at me I sit here typing, walking down a street, to me the Paralympics shines a light into the fact of how we can all become better people and see that in all of us there is hope.

The true Gold medalists of 2012.

I so enjoyed the Olympics. The many who won their medals and the amazing show London put on. But perhaps the hero's are found in those who printed the banners, cleaned the toilets and swept the paths. Made sure that the London 2012 Olympics was a success. They will never get their picture in the newspaper or a gold medal around their neck,nor a gold post box. But to me they are the hero's the one's who stayed when the lights were dim and hung the Olympic rings on Tower Bridge or made sure that water was working and that towels were clean. I use to walk by many of those people, thinking I was better than them. Reality check, we are not better than any of them. I now take the time, to smile and say thank you to those that I see do a good job. I wonder how many Olympians took the time to say thank you to the person bringing them water or cleaning their room? Did they even notice them?

Kindness and thankfulness comes from within, it can make the world a brighter place. Try it and you will see who were the true gold medalist's of London 2012 There's always room for one more.

True Olympic Winner

Although only sixteen years old, Gabby Douglas, an American gymnast, is an amazing athlete. Receiving a gold medal not only for the women's gymnastic team, but also in women's individual all-around gymnastics, she gives praise not to herself but to God. With the women's individual all-around gymnastic gold medal, she has also made history by being the first and only African-American woman to get that far. She said in an interview, "And I give all the glory to God. It's kind of a win-win situation. The glory goes up to Him and the blessings fall down on me." Maybe there is something we can learn from her. If only we praised God for all He has done for us, maybe we would see life in a better light. Instead of looking at the bad, we could praising Him for all the good things and see that life is not as bad as what we think. Yes, Gabby Douglas is a winner to the public by the gold medals she possesses, but she is more of a winner by being humble enough to not be full of pride and instead giving God thanks. What an amazing young lady she truly is. Wishing you lots of Tasty English Delights. "There's always room for one more."
