Loved this advert back in the day! Had to share 😆🌖🌗🌘

"Full moon! Half moon! Total eclipse!" 1999 advertisement for Jaffa...

As the sky turns dark with the eclipse, a huge Bumblebee decided to fly past.. excuse the dreadful images, but on my phone, its the best I could achieve.

A4 Watercolour by Fox at the cottage
Poem written by Jacquelyn Allsop below,
Have a great day beautiful people.

There's a very special apple tree
In my neighbours yard
There's a hidden gem within it
If you look very hard
She's made her home among the blossoms
Though she doesn't have a house
Can vou see atop the branches?
A tiny, cute brown Mouse
She's really very friendly
She loves nature.... it's her " thing "
She's hoping that these blossoms
Will herald in the Spring

A4 Watercolour .
Have a glorious weekend everyone! ❤️

Mouse was relaxing
With some time on his own
He'd turned off the TV
And his mobile phone
Cat peered through the mouse hole
Mouse was bathing in there !
She heard him singing
And that made her stare !
Her Green eyes narrowed
Was Mouse out of luck
As he splashed around
With his toy rubber duck ?
Let Mouse have his moment
Let kindness prevail
He lives on the edge
With a cat on his tail !

As the nights have started drawing in now, and my Foxes seem to be feeding after sunset, thought I'd create an oil pastel picture at dusk 😊
Poem written by Jacquelyn Allsop below,
Have a wonderful weekend everyone ❤️

Two foxes meet in a lovers tryst
Beneath silvery Moonlight in the evening mist
Hearts beat with excitement as the meeting takes place
There's a smile for their souls as well as the face
Love undeniable has been found here
To last into old age, through many a year
Sister Moon sends her beams in approval of this
Two foxes met in enduring bliss

Acrylic painting by Jules at fox at the cottage
Poem written by Jacquelyn Allsop below.
Have a great day beautiful people 😘 ❤️

We're off on a road trip My doggie and me
A ride through the countryside to see
what we'll see!

There'll be rolling green fields
and white woolly sheep
and there on the hill
The White Horse sleeps

The skies like my car are a nice shade of blue
What could be better than a road trip for two?
We'll spend the day Just trundling along
and come home again
When the daylight is gone.

Miss Hedgrerow, and Copper , and Scarecrow, all three
Travelled through the forest and through ancient trees
They all sat and listened to the wisdom they gave
About how to be kind, and resilient and brave
They walked on a bit further and came to a stream
Sunlight through the trees made it shine like a dream
Miss Hedgerow said "Copper, how do we get across " ?
Copper said " Scarecrow should know, he's the boss "
The three found a log and stepped forward , and then
An Otter appeared out of his den
My name is Otis he said to the three
Where are you going through my home and these trees ?
We're on an adventure the Scarecrow said
Would you care to join us , we could use your head
Stay on the log , and I'll join you post haste
Adventures are magical, no time to waste !
