Sea Fever by John Masefield

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tideIs a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife;And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.

11th March is 'National Genealogy Day'

Genealogy is this doggo's passion. He thought he'd mention it because it's 'National Genealogy Day' tomorrow.

My new newsletter!

Something else that's been overlooked in the (computer meltdown) mayhem was that my newly taken over newsletter went out yesterday. I can't find it anywhere online, so that's something that needs sorting - it needs to be on my smartened up website somewhere. That's here: www.SusanAlison.com

This is the first bit of the newsletter: see pic below - these corgis are celebrating the new management, as are all right thinking dogs.

There's been a change in management here at newsletter HQ - I, your humble PupperJack, have taken over. Susan has been too busy writing, painting and fretting about delayed parcel shipments (not to mention computer meltdowns) to keep the newsletter to the monthly schedule we all dream of. Tut tut.

It is a new dawn for this newsletter, swiftly followed by treats and ambles.
