We took a trip into the ancient city
There ate a snack along the way
We browsed the books and antique stalls
Visited museums, art galleries, and shopping malls
Climbed up the hill to see the castle proud and tall
Then  went to look beyond the great city wall
And there, there the  ghastly gallows we did  a- spy
Where in days of old and years 
gone by
It was right here that they used to- hang them high!

Today began with Stylistics bookl📕 which I found very interesting, as it gives lots of good examples of poetry techniques. underlined all the terminology, and made notes about what I have just read. I  also read 'Creativity in language' book chapter 3. 📖 I managed to study for a good 2-3 hours today  so that was good.

 Anyway this gave me the time and opportunity I needed, to get ahead and  do some serious studying.
In the evening, I cooked the meal a stew which we ate with some crusty bread, it was a hearty meal for an autumn day.  In the evening I listened to classical music, just  for relaxation. then I went to bed. 📻🎼🎵🎶

I dont need a church to play my little part
My body is my temple
And the Lord is in my heart!

  📖                ❤             🕯 

Jesus said "believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. .But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Ref. John's gospel 

The Bible

 📖  The bible says we are not to be enslaved!

          
Jesus Christ has set us all free
We no longer bound by sin and slavery.   ⛓

Do not be enslaved by anything again.

                     🕊

Listen to his words and follow him. 📖  In The Bible.

Jesus will lead us to God!  🌅

A walk along a country lane near to where I live.

 Today I decided to visit the Nature Reserve with my husband  near to where I live. It was good to get out and about,  and look at nature,  because being in nature is so beneficial for the mental health.

The Nature Reserve is a short distance away, but still too far to walk, so we took the bus, which takes about 15 minutes.
When we arrived we walked for a while,  then we looked at the map on the display board to find out where all the foot paths were.
We sat on a bench along the way, there we  listened to the birds in the trees. We could hear lots of different  birdsong. The leaves were rustling in the wind,  and the sun shone through the trees, which made the light all dappled and interesting. I even managed to take some photographs.
We also enjoyed the silence too,  far away from the busy roads.
Then we saw magpies, crows, wood pidgeons, wagtails, robins, blue tits and blackbirds flying down to eat the insects after yesterdays rain,  also a grey squirrel ran by carying an acorn between its teeth!
There were some little birds too, wrens, sparrows and finches, they came to the picnic area to eat some crumbs off the picnic tables, from the visitors.
We walked along the woodland paths and felt the peacefulness of the place. The sun was shinning and there was a nice cool breeze blowing.  There was a nice earthy smell too in the woods, and it smelt fresh and clean after the rain. We both enjoyed a stroll in the woods, as well as the bus journey back home.

Blackberry and apple jam
to spread on bread for tea
I made it fresh today
Just for you and me

The bread is homemade too
And still is warm to touch
We can eat it with jam and cream
We'll enjoy it very much!

I have a little tea set
That's pink with flowers blue
With lovely cups and saucers
All shiny and brand new!
