Thow mortherer of the heysugge on y braunche!

`Ye! have the glotoun fild ynogh his paunche,

Than are we wel!' seyde the merlioun;

`Thou mordrer of the heysugge on the braunche

That broghte thee forth, thou rewthelees glotoun!

Live thou soleyn, wormes corrupcioun!

For no fors is of lakke of thy nature;

Go, lewed be thou, whyl the world may dure!'

A year of absences

Happy New Year, you are always present, now and forever:

Mam, Margaret, Tommy & Dad ~

Grandma & Granddad Iliffe, Auntie Bett ~

Uncle Earn, Aunt Gwen, Aunt Nancie ~

Grandma 3, Emma Iliffe & Half-Uncle Sam W Iliffe (Hope your 25 years were the best!) ~

Great Grandparents William & Mary Iliffe ~

And all the rest, remembered!

Happy birthday, Dad!
