Jock's May day ode.
I've posted this drawing of my old friend, Jock, once before. But no May day can pass without everyone who knew him thinking of his little ode, and my drawing of him just has to accompany it.
Hooray, hooray, The first of May, Outdoor f***ing Starts today.
Hi Cro - thanks for enlightening me. Google reveals a talented and generous man, and the photographs I saw of him suggest you have captured Jock Veitch down to a -t. Especially his splendid eyebrows!

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
But you can 'feed the chickens' all year round.
ReplyDeleteStunning drawing, Cro - lyrical and a little tough at the same time.
ReplyDeleteHi Claire; Welcome. Thanks for your kind comment. You may like to know that Jock is Jock Veitch; a Kiwi. You can Google him.
ReplyDeleteI love the drawing. It isn't your fault that he looks a little like Andy Rooney. And his little poem . . . right. Have a nice Saturday!
ReplyDeleteAmy. I had to look him up and you're right, there is a similarity. Mostly the eyebrows!
ReplyDeleteCro I loved the picture out your window its so beautiful, what lovely countryside you have!
