This time, when I have just returned to the corporate world and can already feel it trying to steal the magic and wonder from my soul (customer support is a special hell), your words and photos arrive to remind me that it is all still there.

It compl...Thanks for your totally lovely blog Rima! It completely epitomises England at that time of year. I missed Guy Fawkes, obviously, being in the wrong country, but your amazing photos have given me what I always crave from the experience; the theatre of it, the magic, the streams of light, the heat. I don't know how you captured those images, but I'm very glad you did. Usually, when I'm watching I'm so caught up in it all that impressions flash through my mind with such rapidity that I have forgotten them all by the end of it, but your stills powerfully convey the essence of the fire and movement and have given me something mystically real to hold onto : ) My very favourite photo in the whole post was the one of your and Tom's shadows against the trees, like a giant and giantess surveying their territory! <br /><br />I, too, am looking forward to your Christmas cards; you know I can't draw snow to save my life, and in some way I am comforted by the fact that you can! The Father Christmas climbing down the chimney you gave me brings such satisfaction; I love the gingerbready sort of feeling I get when I look at it. So I am awaiting the cards with eager anticipation; the sooner, the better...<br /><br />Give a woof or a snuffle or whatever to Macha for me; she always steals the show, doesn't she? I think that's one of the best portraits of her so far. And give love too to the other show-stealer or (show-sharer I suppose we should say these days) - the admirer of Baba Yaga, the giver of circus tickets, the other shadow; my brother xxxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01358941909845054941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-69773718302681744432011-11-18T17:11:48.921+00:002011-11-18T17:11:48.921+00:00p.s.: Christmas cards!!

Here in Kentucky, the Bluegrass state, banjo & fiddle & wailing bounce from the sides of the Appalachians all over this river valley!<br /><br />There is a familiarity in your words and I find we spend our days doing many of the same sorts of things. Cozy things. Taking in of things.<br />I loved the very last photo - when I was younger, one of my favorite things to do was walk around and look in windows (heheee does that sound creepy?!) I mean, from a "proper" sidewalk distance of course ;)<br />Anyway, Dartmoor is on our list of places to visit when funds and time one day allow - and then just maybe we can all sit down around a cast iron tripod and dutch oven and break out squeeze boxes and clarinets and flute & hurdy gurdy and make merry! <br /><br />"My soul, do not seek eternal life, but exhaust the realm of the possible!"<br /><br />Very best to you'uns over there :)Tiffany D.

About the circus, I spent the week end with a friend who is a member of one of our old Australian circus families, now disbanded, he now breeds excellent Welsh ponies, but in some of the chat I asked him about the liberty ponies, he said that when the circus finally broke up(mostly due to insurance) within 3 years all the ponies had died, in his opinion not from old age or neglect, because they were well looked after but because they missed all the attention they had when they were peforming.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14177627504060328999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-79034834478168390512011-11-17T20:09:51.473+00:002011-11-17T20:09:51.473+00:00If Rima was to write a book about her life, I beli...If Rima was to write a book about her life, I believe a LOT of people would love to have a copy.Joel Le Blanchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08675507358326057262noreply@blogger.com
