Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin

SUNSET

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
and my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
and the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it really makes me wonder!

What a way to end the day and then see in the new one with what is something of a 

SPECIALLITY 

here a First, and rather expected, For The Year

OAK RUSTIC

Not recorded from mainland Great Britain until 1999 on the Isle of Wight since when it has collonise much of the South Coast. The larvae feed on

HOLM OAK
a fine specimen of which we just happen to have right next door to Slight Return II the trusty homestead. If that alone were not enough, then added to the Year List came a fairly similar,

before the

LIGHT RAIN
set in.

There was a final and single

SWALLOW
perched above the tennis court which may just prove to be the last we see in 2020?

Footnote:-

and going back a few days, what did we think of San Franciscans Zepparella? We have seen some more than competent female outfits across the years, but nothing to touch that, Memphis Minnie and Zep themselves would have been impressed! A fine rendition of ‘Levee’ with fine ‘harp’ playing by vocalist Angeline Sans and had you persisted via You Tube there was a timely reminder of the first immigrants to reach our shores, The Vikings (Immigrant Song) and the song that inspired Jim the Medic and myself to forge on further north while in the Himalayan foothills at Shimla, NW India, to also conquor
