AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

I Wanna Be A Knight

Word Pool Wednesday #3 ~ dragon + fly + knight

I'm a homespun, wanna be knight yearning for battles beyond the stone dragon on my verandah. I perform tournaments for the school kids! But on weekends I fly a kite!

Cool!

But I think being a knight was a risky profession. I'm not that brave, :)

I like that knight - yearning for battles and flying kites! Brilliant.

I noticed the great word pool wednesday banner - you're so talented. Would it be alright to use it on my blog and possibly let others put it on their blogs if they want? I would of course give you full credit. Let me know what you think.

Have a great day x

Mountain goat is not bighorn sheep, either. :)
Gemma, you're a gem.
Very interesting blog, a glimpse into your personal world...:)

Really clever use of the words. I got an insight into your would-be knight's character.
