"Solomon Grundy"

This English Nursery rhyme has varied very little since it was first collected by James Orchard Halliwell and published in 1842

Solomon Grundy,
Born on a Monday,
Christened on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Took ill on Thursday,
Grew worse on Friday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday.
This is the end
Of Solomon Grundy.

Summer Time ~ Tortoise Orchard / Rabbit Haie


La Haie or Haie (Hey) is a Norman term dating from the 12th Century referring to a hedged enclosure. The Area from the left of the Picture to the center is heavy with brambles and growth and the home to rabbit families.
A small maze of footpaths enable access through Rabbit Haie.

To see the Summer Sky
Is Poetry, though never in a Book it lie -
True Poems flee.
~Emily Dickinson

Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability. ~Sam Keen

Summer has set in with its usual severity. ~Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language. ~Henry James

Then followed that beautiful season... Summer....
Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape
Lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood.
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
