This was my Christmas present this year.
A stunning photograph by my friend Jedrzej Niezgoda, who has a photo blog called Veni Vidi which is linked to my site. He takes the most beautiful photographs and this is the first one I have purchased (so far). While we were working out how he would send the print to me- which arrived in perfect condition by post- his name for the picture; The Seagull, somehow lost its initial S and so, as this became a play on words, we continued to refer to it as such.
Daughter D, an ace framer, is with us at the moment and while she is here I plan to get her to frame it. I have a spot in the living room which will be perfect. Then I plan to photo the picture in situ to show Jedrzej (whom I have never met) that : The Eagull has Landed

on December 28, 2012The Sea Gull and the Ea-gull
A sea gull met an ea-gull
In an eag-loo way up North,
The sea gull eyed the ea-gull,
And the following words came forth:
I’m a sea gull, you’re an ea-gull,
You are re-gull, like a king,
You are royal, like Standard Oy-al,
So how about a fling?
Said the sea gull to the ea-gull
It’s illea-gull, but sublime,
I’m a she-gull without a he-gull,
So why are we wasting time?
Said the sea gull to the ea-gull,
I invei-gull like a dream,
I am not a squeamish sea gull,
I guarantee not to squeam!
If the wee gull turns out half ea-gull,
Don’t imagine that I will fret,
Once I had one by a bea-gull,
And I haven’t stopped laughing yet.
Said the ea-gull to the sea gull
As he doffed his royal crown,
You’re a bad bird, you’re a bad, bad bird,
But you’re the only bird in town!
Frederic Ogden Nash (August 19, 1902 – May 19, 1971)

on February 7, 2013So nice of you Martin, it made me smile a lot.
I would be vary happy if we actually changed the ‘whom I have never met’ part one day.
