Dr Dodiddily and the Dee-Dot's : Toby and Tilly

TOBY and TILLY go to the Mountains
Share

It had been a very long Winter.
Tilly and Toby decided that they would go away.

There was a lot of frost .  Toby wanted to see the snow.

The roads were too icy to drive.
Tilly suggested that they take her balloon.
Maybe take Candy and Sweetie Pie with them .

But Toby had got a surprise for Tilly.     Can you see what it is?

It is a poster advertising a grand balloon festival.
Toby had arranged a special balloon trip.

Which balloon do you think Toby has chosen for them?

Could it be the fish?

Could it be the duck or maybe even the heart?

They chose the Turtle. Wow can you see them, they have taken off already
They can see snow on the ground already.

Soon they will be over the snow covered mountains

"Look! Tilly Look!" Shouted Toby!

There was a huge balloon over the mountains.

"Will we be going over there too Toby?"
Tilly shouted.

They had to shout for the wind was very sharp and they had muffs on there ears to keep them warm.

"Maybe Tilly, we will follow the others?"

"Gosh Toby!" laughed Tilly. "Look at that man, he must be very cold."
Just then the balloon started to decend.
Then they were meeting up with all the other balloonist for lunch in a mountain log cabin.

The weather changes very quick in the mountains, and before  they had finished eating  a message on the loud speaker told them that all
flying was cancelled, a blizzard was due very soon.
Alas Toby and Tilly could not stay and when the blizzard blew over they had to take the chair lift down to the bottom . 

It wasn't long before they were back to the village, with the Mountains behind them.


Tomorrow they would head back home to Sweetie Pie and Candy.

Tilly and Toby are taking to the ice for a skate before they go in for the night .

And now for a small trip to visit the lost lands of HIAWATHA

A small part of Hiawatha's Childhood, to accompany the fabulous video collection.

Dr Do-Diddily and the Dee - Dot's

Book of Hiawatha

Hiawatha (also known as Ayenwatha, Aiionwatha, or Haiëñ'wa'tha; Onondaga), who lived (depending on the version of the story) in the 1100s, 1400s, or 1500s, and was variously a leader of the Onondaga and Mohawk nations of Native Americans.

Hiawatha was a follower of The Great Peacemaker, a prophet and spiritual leader who was credited as the founder of the Iroquois confederacy, (referred to as Haudenosaunee by the people). If The Great Peacemaker was the man of ideas, Hiawatha was the politician who put the plan into practice.

Hiawatha was a skilled and charismatic orator, and was instrumental in persuading the Iroquois peoples, the Seneca's, Cayuga s, Onondagas, Oneidas, and Mohawk's, a group of Native North Americans who shared similar languages, to accept The Great Peacemaker's vision and band together to become the Five Nations of the Iroquois confederacy. Later, the Tuscarora nation joined the Confederacy to become the Sixth Nation

Hiawatha's Childhood

Then the little Hiawatha learned of every bird its language,

Learned their names and all their secrets, how they built their nests in Summer,

Where they hid themselves in Winter, talked with them when e'er he met them,

Called them "Hiawatha's Chickens."

Of all beasts he learned the language, learned their names and all their secrets,

How the beavers built their lodges, where the squirrels hid their acorns,

How the reindeer ran so swiftly, why the rabbit was so timid,

Talked with them whene'er he met them, Called them "Hiawatha's Brothers."

Then Iagoo, the great boaster, he the marvellous story-teller,

He the traveller and the talker, he the friend of old Nokomis,

Made a bow for Hiawatha; from a branch of ash he made it,

From an oak-bough made the arrows, tipped with flint, and winged with feathers,

And the cord he made of deer-skin.

A Little Poem that comes all the way from Old China many, many years ago.

I would loved to have lived in China when all the great Chinese Poets were around.

DR. DO-DIDDILY AND THE DEE-DOT'S

LI HO

Li Ho (pinyin: Li He)

born 791 AD in China - died 817 AD in Ch'ang-ku/China

Li Ho was a brilliant Chinese poet (living in famous T'ang dynasty) whose at the age of 26, which I am sure robbed the world of many wonderful poems.
Many books and other works have been written about this wonderful man, I have quite a few snippets in some of my many books. Most of them are on many pages on the web. But as usual, I do like to put them here for you to read, as someoe who is just starting their journey of poetry and short stories. I feel I might add a few more of his works when I am ready.

Although a poet well-known during Chinese history, not one

single piece of his work had been included in famous

"300 T'ang Poems" (T'ang Shih San-Pai Shou).

THE NORTHERN COLD

The sky glows one side black, three sides purple
The yellow river's ice closes, fish and dragons die
Bark three inches thick cracks across the grain,
Carts a hundred piculs heavy mount the river's water.
Flowers of frost on the grass are as big as coins,
Brandished swords will not pierce the foggy sky,
Crashing ice flies in the swirling seas,
Cascades hang noiseless in the mountains, rainbows of jade.

Li Ho AD 791-817 circa

Dodie's Dream World : Dodie's Mood: "DODIES MOOD IS A LITTLE SAD TODAY

Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band




Del Montford Hall - Leicester - UK - 1972 - Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band:

Don Van Vliet- Vocals, Harp

Bill Harkleroad ( Zoot Horn Rollo)- Guitar

Elliot Ingbar (Winged Eel Fingerling)- Guitar

Mark Boston ( Rockette Morton )- Bass/guitar

Roy Estrada (Orejon )- Bass.

Art Tripp ( Ed Marimba)- Drums

The attire varied from the majestic to the downright loony. The majesty was supplied by Don Van Vliet , resplendent in his magnificent embroidered sun and moon cape and tuxedo. The loony element was catered for fully by Ed Marimba, wearing his long hair through the leg holes of a pair of women's panties in a strange parody of a viking helmet. Zoot Horn Rollo and Winged Eel Fingerling were pretty weirdly attired as well , sporting multi coloured coats and trousers. Rockette Morton veered towards the magnificent in his natty hat and suit , but this combination of attire was pretty mind jarring .

To follow up more about the now deceased Don Van Vliet, please follow this link to the blog that gave me this information. R.I.P. Captain.

SPRING - SPRING - SPRING.

The door of Toby's bucket house burst open and in bustled Tilly Teapot, with little Sweetie pie following behind her.They sat at the table to read the paper
'Goodness me!' said Toby jumping up from the table, almost knocking his coco-pops onto the floor.
'What is the matter Tilly?' he said pulling a chair out so she could sit down.
'Anyone would think you had a boogie man after you! What on earth has happened.'
Tilly sat down and took the cup of tea Toby had poured for her. Slowly, very slowly she caught her breath and started to drink her tea.
'Oh Toby, Toby,' she said.
'Here read this.' and she pressed a piece of paper into Toby's hand.
He read it out loud;
Ivor the Engine 'Ivor will be returning over the May Day Bank Holiday Weekend.
Come along and meet him!'

'Goodness me! he exclaimed, 'what do you think, shall we go?' A huge smile spread across his face.
'Well of course,' Tilly said, draining her teacup, 'but we will have to set off very soon if we want to get there early.'
Toby frowned and looked down at the paper again. 'Oh my goodness, (It was definitely a Toby 'Goodness' day.' It is due to start at mid day.'
'I know! I know! Tilly exclaimed. 'How long will it take us to get there?

Toby frowned and went to the cupboard for his map book. The two of them stood over the table for a few minutes. Tobies Land Rover when they went fishing
'Come on then, we better get ready. Don't forget to bring Sweetie Pie's collar and lead. oh yes and a towel, incase it rains later.' Toby smiled and Tilly headed for the door.
Sweetie Pie had made herself comfy next to Candy, as soon as the words 'collar and lead' were mentioned.
'Can you be ready in an hour Till? I have to take the fishing tackle out of the Rover, get myself ready and we can be off about ten-ish'
'No problem,' Tilly said a big smile on her face. 'If we're ready soon enough, we could go over World's End. What do you think?'
'I think that is an excellent idea, now shoo go get yourself ready.' And he shooed Tilly out the door, picked up his keys and went to clear out the Land Rover.

Toby and Tilly were that used to just taking off, it never took them long to get ready at all, and by 10.15, they were in the vehicle, and driving up the road to Coedpoeth.
Candy and Sweetie began by arguing who was first to hang their head out the window. Sweetie won, as usual. They weren't allowed the outside not quite Toby's Land Rover :)window opened, because of the passing traffic.
Tilly began to sing, 'the wheels of the bus,' and they were on there way to see Ivor the Engine in Llangollen.

'Part two, will be after the usherette has been round with the ice cream and lollies.
I think I shall have me a White Magnum. Yummy I love them, what are you having?'

Just another little message to say I am sorry for not adding anything exciting since Christmas.

Sorry for the lack of messages. My PC had a virus, I got lucky and (crossed fingers) I've managed to get rid of it. If you can possibly do without buying any of the virus destroyer help links, Do So. They are completely useless and all are attached to one another. I went to you tube and followed this wonderful guys instructions, It was risky as I had to go through the whole of the registration directory, and Command, but it worked and I got rid of mega loads of old Poker information as well.  Seligor xxx You can find the link at youtube, just type in Error Virus that won't go away, hugs again. xxx  Seligor
