January`s 26th 2008

Christmas is left behind,
The excitement of New Year gone,
The cold January winds blow,
As log fires we dwell upon.

Outdoors through the January gales,
Tiny shoots are making their way,
Through cold wintered clay,
Soon to show us their springtime display.

But for now I will enjoy the indoors,
In all its cosiness,
And look forward to spring flowers,
In all their lovliness.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
