“Come said the wind to the leaves one day,
Come o’re the meadows and we will play.
Put on your dresses scarlet and gold,
For summer is gone and the days grow cold.”
– A Children’s Song of the 1880’s
come said the wind to the leaves one day

“but rest ye not in the cold in that posture,
come let us go off to Gloucester,
for in the wind I smell tea a-brewing,
at the home of Nic, George and Euan.”
always welcome Rufus
to come for brew
if you’re very lucky
there’ll be a biscuit or two!

very happy to have been a memory jogger for you Peggy :o)
