I don’t think I’ve ever had a mention in a poem before, but here’s my friend Margi doing just that! Margi is a new blogger, a writer and poet and she’d love a visit if you have time. I see that when you reblog, the entire post is visible on the site that does the reblog, previously only the first few lines were there, so you had to go visit the original post. I wonder why they changed that, it was far better for the blog of origin before.
Day two
of wanderings round Amsterdam
Spotted a book market
Language strange
Yet – Classics, Art, History
Message the same
Colourful hand crafted
note-books
Gilly nowhere in sight
Yet here, in the centre of this city
Her creations
Or seemed to be
Lucid Gypsy 
I saw lovely hand crafted, leather bound notebooks in Talinn – very tempted but at €30 each, I gave them a miss!
Some of the ones my friend and I make are cheaper than that, but most are more expensive!
Well, after all, they are hand-crafted….I must be a cheapskate……
Not at all! It’s about what we choose to spend our precious pennies on and we all have different priorities 🙂
Well, true!
Can I see them?
What a lovely post. A delightful poem and a link to you all rolled into one. I love it.
And I agree that the change to showing a full post on a relogging site is not the right thing to do. But, as most of us know who have been here a while, WP does have a knack for making changes that cause us problems. It’s rather like a relative who is a trouble-maker, and you sort of cringe when you know he’s coming, but you love him just the same and put up with him.
I like the new look on your site with the background change.
I hop over and check out your new friend’s site.
Fabulous poem. Love the colorful notebooks. Love all notebooks. Have waayy too many.:-D 😀 😀
I’m afraid I just buy the cheapo notebooks from the supermarket, but I can see the appeal in a leather bound one – I bought OH some lovely notebooks for birthday/Christmas gifts in the past but I don’t think he has ever written in one!
Is the fact that the whole post shows in a reblog due to the shortness of the post? Maybe a longer one only shows a portion? You’d have to experiment with that idea! And although I like your black background I’m afraid the white writing can be a problem. One of the no nos in web design. I’m OK with it during the day but at night the white is more difficult to read. Sorry to be a pain.
Change is God with WP, isn’t it? 😦 But what a lovely poem. I like the sound of Margie. I’ve got half a minute before I go walking. 🙂
Love Margi’s photo and ode to you. I’ll pop over to read the rest of her post. 🙂
It is a fab poem .. Love the colours. I popped on over 😀
Love the journals! Wish I was there..♥️♥️♥️
