All cor blimey

Me and my friend Kate

We sinks a glass

Or two

Me and my friend Kate

We talks and talks

We talks the whole day through

Kate’s a London girl

Like me you see

All cor blimey

And afternoon tea

There was a girl just like her

In my class

At school

Thirteen; girls at school

We chased the boys

We acted the fool

Anne, that’s my name now

Don’t you know

All cor blimey

With a soft soft glow

Me and my friend Kate

And sometimes

Our men folk too

We sit and chat

A right good natter

It is a lively brew

Available on Amazon

We know so many stories

We have our moments

Quiet contemplative moments

Joyous captured moments

In our house

So full of love

Tears

Laughter

Re-arranged embarrassment

With ample room for love

In this house of love

Warm glows, easy conversation

Hands

Held and placed so so carefully

Affectionately

Glazed eyes they gaze on love

Memories

We know so many stories

Of happy times

Of historic times

With songs of hope

And songs of glory

New fears

Cast her

Into yet another battle

A fighter, a winner

With love always, always and deep

Deep for keeps, love is so deep inside her

With love there, and love then

Always love to come home to; home to Pete

Always to be in love, Pete at home, in love beside her

Available on Amazon

That’s fine by me

Always we cleaned

Before the cleaner came

Always we leaned

Towards this life of love we named

The mistletoe on the Apple Blossom

The blackbird

With white plumage

Girl and boy, woman and man

Tailor, my sailor

My captain, my endless love

Smile

Warm eyes of welcome

Arguments

We keep those to ourselves

In this love

Warm of love well sung

Always

Do you remember?

Always

How could I forget?

Always I lent her

My safely now

Safety net

The drizzle cake

That’s fine by me

In a recipe book

You gave with love; for free

From Chatsworth

For the Duke of Devonshire

And me

That Pete, he’s mine

Those curtains

The same as Kate’s curtains

Except

A different pattern

Except

Another colour

And no silk trim

Those biscuits

The same as Kate’s biscuits

Except

These are fancy

Except

Another kind of chocolate

And no coconut

Those tender moments

The same as Kate’s tender moments

Except

No, just the same

Except

No just the same, no other

And no regrets

We’re southern belles

In northern towns

We’re southern girls

In our summer gowns

This loving man

The same as Kate’s loving man

Except

That this ones mine

Except

That Pete, he’s mine

And well, did I ever tell you, he is so damned fine

That day on the downs

The day at the races

The silks and the gowns

And pretty boys faces

Singing songs and changing places

That day on the downs

The day at the races

Always love, this life of love

The day of fair embraces

With loose and untied shoe laces

Singing songs and changing places

That day on the coast

The day of fair embraces

Always in the name of love

Always love, this life of love

That day of the rising sun

The garden covered in dew

The days of so much fun

And our love so oft renewed

Singing songs and changing places

That day of the rising sun

The garden covered in dew

Always in the name of love

Always love, this life of love

Singing songs and changing places

Singing songs, always with smiling faces
