Britain’s Premier Tourist Resort; ‘a precious stone set in a Silver Sea’ Birthplace of William Shakespeare. William would most likely have been a Reform Party voter.

THIS IS ANOTHER LEFTIE abomination by anti-car greenies and old labour, chip on the shoulder, vegetable allotment growers - if you can’t park on the pavement all the roads will clog up around where people live - labour are doing such a great job wrecking the UK Economy they will lose to Reform!!

In 1979, Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed at the White House.

Ronald Reagan had them removed.

We may be able to trace back the current "Do Harmful Things if it Trolls the Libs" Republicanism to Reagan removing those panels the far more forward thinking Carter had installed.

The alleviation of women's abuse "is made less likely by the mandated subservience of women by Christian fundamentalists. What is especially disappointing...is the docile acceptance by so many strong Christian women of their subjugation & restricted role." - Jimmy Carter (RIP)

19th century (possibly older) farming lore:

Goats were not often kept as livestock on Warwickshire farms because of a belief that they sometimes visited the Devil to have their beards combed

The ‘Christmas Rose’ or ‘Winter Rose’, Helleborus Niger, is one of the birth flowers for the month of #December. Legend tells that when man fell from grace, and Paradise lay shrouded in snow, the angels carried this flower to earth as a symbol of love and mercy. #FolkloreSunday

Part Three
Oh, treachery, thy visage fair and coy,
Dost steal the bloom of youth’s most tender bond.
What cruelty twists love’s purest form to toy,
And mars with lies the truth we stood upon?
Yet still, my heart doth war ‘twixt wrath and grief,
For once we shared a dream too bright, too brief.

A Sonnet on Betrayal and Wounded Trust
Part Two - a husband discover his wife’s infidelity..

In whispered halls where silence speaks too loud,
A secret dances ‘twixt the moon and night.
Her vows, mere phantoms cloaked in gilded shroud,
Now pierce my breast, a dagger hid from sight.

A Sonnet on Betrayal and Wounded Trust
Part One …
What shadow strikes where love did brightly gleam,
A serpent coiled where Eden’s blossoms grew?
Her eyes, once stars, now veil a darker scheme,
And words, so sweet, dissolve to bitter rue.
