Comment by: DTease on 24th July 2018 at 14:10

Feel free to express your opinion Basil, but it would carry more weight if you learned how to spell.

I love this 'typically English' scene DTease. And your photo has also inspired me to describe a scene that could have been witnessed upon 'the foreground field', many years' ago. Thanks.

"Caleb."

On field of corn, in clothing torn, young Caleb does his best
A country lad, no chance the cad, all-knowing friends attest.

Now Ploughman's Lunch - time-honoured munch, young Cathy holds the line
And apples, pressed, are always blessed, forsooth the cupboard wine.

He flicks his fork, by friendly 'bawk', the 'team' now pulling hard
Then casts his eye, to prowler sly; twice-ordered "Shoo! Reynard."

I often see a sign in the back windows of cars saying ' If you can read this , thank a teacher'.
I wonder who should hold more gratitude, Philip or Basil.
It's most odd that a fox should have no affinity for the open field is it not, unless of course Basil isn't a real fox.
Delightful photo and accompanying verse gentlemen. People enjoy!

Basil Brush: Don't be to upset DTease just had one of those Boom Boom moments.

Basil don't give up. - never give up!

Comment by: Jarvo on 24th July 2018 at 19:14

You do all realise that this will go straight over Basil's head. He's a bit thick you see.

Basil Brush.This photo means nothing to you but to some people like me it is brings back thoughts of my family.Give it a rest.please

Comment by: Poet on 24th July 2018 at 20:02

O yea some fields and a church..
It's a good opening line that.
Come on Basil. Finish it off.
I know you're more cunning than you let on.

Comment by: Rev David Long on 24th July 2018 at 20:36

Give up, Basil - it IS a church and some fields. Taken around this time of the year some years ago. Perhaps you'd like to go to the spot where the pic was taken all those years ago and take a fresh pic for us to compare it with.... Use your life, don't waste it.

Comment by: Poet on 24th July 2018 at 22:29

Folks,I fear you maybe too quick to judge ,for without the crucial second line can we really be sure if Basil is about to burst into Rousseauian rapture or Hobbesian horror regarding the state of nature?.

Comment by: Jonno on 25th July 2018 at 00:29

By gum Poet, that's posh talk for a Standisher !!!

Comment by: Veronica on 25th July 2018 at 01:47

Basil you could 'brush' up on some reading and you would soon 'sweep' everyone away with your unfinished verse.

'Oh yeah ...some fields and a church'
Where birds fly over to rafters and perch,
Foxes find holes and come out at night,
scavenging and hunting to find a light bite!

Well it's a start lad!

Comment by: Joseph on 25th July 2018 at 10:27

Be careful folks, Basil will accuse you all of being in "the gang" who pick on him. Of course it's hard to tell which family member is doing the posting, he really hasn't the courage to post for himself but labels others as cowards on the communicate board. Typical sly fox tactics.

Comment by: Sheila on 25th July 2018 at 15:48

Do we have to keep putting up with this Basil Brush character spoiling WW. Now he's started on the album, it's not fair, he's stopping people from posting on a daily basis, now this. Admin please stop him before he ruins peoples pleasure even more on WW.

Looking at the Messageboards, this Basil person seems to have a very limited vocabulary. "tuther site" "the gang" "mac" and "nasty" seem to be the limit.

Comment by: Needles and Pins. on 25th July 2018 at 20:05

What a fantastic view of the church.
It looks very serene.

Comment by: Julie on 25th July 2018 at 22:22

Goodness !! They,re coming owt of timber? Basil Lad , shift yourself bless! I,ve got a room at the back end , nee toilet , but short wall you can cop over .. I’ll do you a sandwich..

Comment by: Dave on 26th July 2018 at 12:06

Basil couldn't get a sandwich down his scrawny neck he's only used to the wet slops from the Mount that's when he's sober that is.

Comment by: Angela on 26th July 2018 at 16:35

Basil can't seem to grasp the concept of "bullying". Calling someone "nasty" is bullying. Perhaps he should change his user name to Bully Brush.

Comment by: Basil Brush. on 26th July 2018 at 17:29

Nice shot. Winter Hill just out of the photo if I have my direction right. I can smell the freshly cut fields as I type. Thanks for the photo. Brilliant.

Comment by: John G on 26th July 2018 at 19:11

Basil:Well done my son that deserves a big Boom Boom. As Basil Brush would say after a punch line, I thought I could smell freshly cut grass but I think it's manure.

Comment by: Basil's only fan on 26th July 2018 at 19:30

Baz have you eaten a dictionary?

Comment by: Jarvo on 27th July 2018 at 12:30

And everyone thought Joseph was at death's door...NOT!

Comment by: Basil's only fan on 27th July 2018 at 19:55

Here's the other driveller.

Comment by: Jarvo on 27th July 2018 at 23:45

You still signing the Guestbook, Joseph?

Comment by: Basil's only fan on 28th July 2018 at 14:53
