The Wind and the Sun

The Wind and the Sun were disputing which was stronger. Suddenly they saw a traveler coming down the road, and the Sun said, “I see a way to decide our dispute.
Whichever of us can cause that traveler to take off his cloak shall be regarded as the stronger. You begin.”
So the Sun retired behind a cloud, and the Wind began to blow as hard as it could upon the traveler. But the harder he blew, the more closely did the traveler wrap his cloak around him till at last the Wind had to give up in despair.
Then the Sun came out and shone in all his glory upon the traveler, who soon found it too hot to walk with his cloak on.

The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs

Once there was a man whose goose
could lay a golden egg for him every day.
He grew very rich but then he decided that
one egg a day wasn't enough so he
cut her open from top to bottom,
so he could get to the goldmine, only to learn
that his goose was just like every other goose
and that by killing it for greed he lost
everything and was poor again forever.

Always remember children that it is better
to have a little something once a day
than to have lots

A MESSAGE FROM SELIGOR, THE DRAGON LORD OF CHIRRON

And so it
began:-

The Story of the Dragon
Lords

I started to write The Dragon Lords
in 1995 when I was spending my holidays at my
sisters in Spain. Bored stiff with sitting around
the pool all day it the scorching heat, I decided
to write a small story. Well the small story turned
into a Trilogy over the next few years and although
everyone thought it was fantastic and "Get it
published" was the cry from the family. I didn't
and never wanted too. Then a couple of years I
decided to open a web site on my PC. just for
messing around on. It was sometime in 2005 that my
body decided it didn't want to go on and so I
became a wheelchair person. This meant
staying in and no more walking and so in January
2007 I opened Seligor's Castle, which has now grown
into a fabulous website for children of all ages, I
also put on another website for the Dragon Lords. I
think I was very naive back at the beginning of
2007 because I didn't present it properly and so
the Dragon Lords was de-activated and
another children's website Diddilydeedot's Dreamland
took over, which although only being opened since
January this year is also proving very
successful.
Then due to many requests asking for the Dragons to
be brought back because people wanted to know past
the first few chapters I have revamped the programme
and now you have quite a wonderful site to visit along with a
wonderful story. and added music to listen to if
you like background sounds.

Am I big
headed?... No I'm not, it's just that I am
very proud of my work and I love writing so much. I
do spend many hours at the computer, even as much
as eating here sometimes. My wonderful husband has
changed our back room downstairs into a fantastic
workplace come bedroom, come film studio (Sky) ha
ha ha and everything else I require. I have
beautiful gardens that I looked after till my
illness but once again I am very lucky to have that
wonderful husband.
I go out to a writers group and recommend
this to anyone who wants to write. So if you live
in the Mold area of Wales, Monday
Morning 9.30 Daniel Owen Centre,
you'd be made very welcome.
See what it can lead to, a wonderful ambition filled and a new
life. Hey by the way I

I too am an Ancient like my

Dragons. All of 64 this year. So don't ever give
up, keep trying it is amazing what you can
achieve and also how many friends you can make on
line.
This is my blog for the day, I just felt
it was time to say a little about this Diddily Dee
Dot who lives at Seligor's Castle, loves The Dragon
Lords and is quite, quite crazy as well. xxxx

The pipes play'd loud and clear,
And a' the folk came running out,
To meet the Chevalier.

and claymores bright and clear,
They came to fight for Scotland's right,
And the young Chevalier.

Their wives and bairnies dear,
To draw the sword for Scotland's lord,
The young Chevalier.

Oh! Charlie is my darling,
my darling, my darling,
Oh! Charlie is my darling,
The young Chevalier,

The Scottish flag is the cross of St. Andrew, also known as the Saltire.

It is said to be one of the oldest national flags of any country, dating back at least to the 12th century.

Tradition suggests that St.Andrew (an apostle of Jesus in the Christian religion) was put to death by the Romans in Greece by being pinned to a cross of this shape.

JOSEPH GRIMALDI

1778-1837

Joseph Grimaldi was 3 years old when he first went
on the stage of Sadler's Wells with his father and worked there for
45 years as performer and part-proprietor. From his debut in 1806
at Covent Garden in Mother Goose he was adored by all and could fill
a theatre anywhere. The name Joey has passed into our language to
mean a clown. He lived all his life among the people of Clerkenwell
and died at 33 Southampton Street, now called Calshot Street. Islington
Council has called the park in which he lies buried the Joseph Grimaldi
Park to commemorate a great artist and a great man.

There was a special performance held in 2006 based on the life of the Great Joeseph Grimaldi. Do you know that many, many clowns have makeup that is their trade mark. It is registered and no other clown is allowed to wear his or her style of make up.

Following the clown's show you are invited to a special opening of the Clowns
Gallery - Museum.

This is the UK's only museum dedicated to clowns and their history.

It is normally open just once a month - on the first Friday (from 12
noon to 5pm)

(special arrangements can be made for group visits at other times)

The address is: All Saints Centre, Haggerston Road, Hackney, London E8 4HT

(Tube: Liverpool Street, then bus 149 or 242; map)

It is just a few minutes' walk from Holy Trinity Church to the Clowns Gallery.

You may want to combine a visit to the Clowns Gallery with a visit to two other
nearby museums:

- Museum of Childhood, Cambridge Heath Road, London E2 9PA: http://www.vam.ac.uk/vastatic/nmc

- Geffrye Museum, Kingsland Road, London E2 8EA: http://www.geffrye-museum.org.uk
