May you all have a happy and peaceful Christmas.

Enjoy you Christmas meal and sleep it off like this but perhaps on the sofa rather than a branch!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all on KG Forum :D
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.

SNOW IN FRANCE



THE tattered grass of No Man's Land

Is white with snow to-day,

And up and down the deadly slopes

The ghosts of childhood play.



The sentries, peering from the line,

See in the tumbled snow

Light forms that were their little selves

A score of years ago.



We look and see the crumpled drifts

Piled in a little glen.

And you are back in Saxony

And children once again.



From joyous hand to laughing face

We watch the snow-balls fly,

The way they used ere we were men

Waiting our turn to die.



To-night across the empty slopes

The shells will scream once more,

And flares go up and bullets fly

The way they did before;



But for a little space of peace

We watch them come and go,

The children that were you and I

At play among the snow.



Bois d'Authuille, 1915

Happy Christmas. everyone.

It feels a little strange preparing the veg for our Christmas dinner this morning - for the first time in years I'm having to peel shop-bought sprouts. :(

But next year is bound to be better. :D
