Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

We Love Keswick For 30 Years

For over 30 years at least once a year
we have gone to Keswick for a holiday
so it's our very favourite place to go
such beauty displaced there every day

This little town of only 5000 population
lies in the English Lake district so wonderful
surrounded by such scenery of deep greenery
lakes and mountains so very beautiful

Keswick filled with walkers during all the year
no matter the weather folks come to climb
in our early years loved to get climbing high
Blencathra, Skiddaw, Catbells set us in our prime

Derwent Water's a wonderful lake
many walk or even run around it
some even have a sail within its waters
also at Friars Crag take a view and sit

Lots of lovely coffee shops in the town
pencil and history museums all to see
lovely parks to stroll being relaxed
the airs so fresh makes one feel so free

(Over our nearly 30 years of marriage, we've gone to Keswick at least once a year often more often but it never loses its magic touch even last week back again to take in all its glory and colourful scenes.)

Tom Cunningham July 24, 2019 at 4:08 AM We only visited the lakes this year for the first time. Only having a few days meant we were limited but enjoyed every minute and can see why you return every year. Actually drove through Keswick and thought what a beautiful place it was. Lovely verse Gordon. Tom. Gordon Mcconnell July 24, 2019 at 9:20 AM Thanks Tom, Glad you enjoyed it and indeed it's a beautiful part of the country, in fact for years we always dreamt about retiring there but the prices were way out of our rich. Have a blessed day, Gordon

Jennifer Proxenos July 23, 2019 at 2:07 PM It is true that people return to the place or a place that brings them joy if anybody was to ask my husband and i where we love going to annually (at least), its the Kruger national park. Such wonder in nature and the wild! Hugs and blessings dear friend. Jennifer. Gordon Mcconnell July 23, 2019 at 2:12 PM Thanks Jennifer, Glad you liked it and the Kruger park must be an amazing place from what I've heard about it. When in South Africa we were in garden route though got to a safari park nearby which was amazing! Blessings and hugs, Gordon
