from an old gravestone
If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.
(from memory so may not be word perfect)
I love this picture!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it beautiful Nan. The founder of the Donkey Sanctuary wrote a book about it that I think you might enjoy

When our kids were young, we visited one in Ireland. We had two donkeys at home at the time, so the kids loved being there. Thanks for book info.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to visit..I have fond memories of riding donkeys at the seaside as a child ..it was bliss
