Jane at Levant: Shadow Shot Sunday and the Parrog part one

Shadow Shot Sunday and the Parrog part one

We have just returned from a few days away just relaxing - mainly walking - taking pics and passing the time of day with fellow travellers and local people - who have a passionate love for their villages - their history and their beautiful coastline.

The Parrog is a magical place just down from Newport - Pembrokeshire - UK.

I just needed to share these shots of the fishermens' cottages in the harbour casting their chimneypot shadows onto the beach and also onto their sister rooftops

Some years ago this was a bustling harbour - going about its thriving business - now the little fishermens' cottages - have been refurbished - but are still used by boating people - but more now for leisure rather than earning a crust of bread.

Interesting that the fishing village is changing into a place of leisure. People have likely moved in because they like its quaintness...but, if the new people are anything like they are here, they will soon spoil it by overpowering the quaintness with the modern world. AH, well, you got to enjoy it when it still had character and you have the photos to show us. :)

We're a firm of architects undergoing a design competition. We have found one of your images that we would love to use as a backdrop for our design. We were wondering if you would be happy for us to do this?

If so, please drop me an email/call to discuss,

FAIRY -LED

The fairy people flouted me,
Mocked me ,shouted me
They chased me down the dreamy hill and beat me with a wand
Within the wood they found me ,put spells on me and bound me
And left me at the edge of day in John the miller's pond
Beneath the eerie starlight;
Their hair shone curd -white
Their bodies were all twisted like a lichened apple tree
Feather -light and swift they moved,
And never one they loved,
For all were full of dreams and dark designs on me.

With noise of leafy singing
And white wands swinging
They marched away amid the grass that swayed to let them through.
Between the the yellow tansies
Their eyes,like purple pansies,
Peered back on me before they passed all trackless in the dew.

Mary Webb - from the Spring of Joy

Three softly curved white sepals veined with light,

Three green-lined petals,guarding frugal gold,

And all so strong to fold or to unfold!

Snow thunders from the bending pines.How slight

This frail,sheathed stem! Yet all unbent it springs,

So swift in stoopings and recoverings.

In the pale sunshine,with frail wings unfurled,

Comes to the bending snowdrop the first bee.

She gives her winter honey prudently;

And faint with travel in a bitter world,

The bee makes music, tentative and low,

And spring awakes and laughs across the snow.

Mary Webb

Short Jokes of the day

Dress Code.

It is advised that you come to work dressed according to your salary. If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not need a raise. If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money better, so that you buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do not need a raise. If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

Sick Days

We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Personal Days

Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year. They are called Saturday & Sunday.

Toilet Use
Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet. There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your second offence, your picture will be posted on the company bulletin board under the "Chronic Offenders category". Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be sanctioned under the company's mental health policy.
Lunch Break
Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more, so that they can look healthy. Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced meal to maintain their average figure. Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.
