Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 329 & Part 330

Today is Thursday, the 9th of January 2025.

Here we were now, following one little tawny owl on its way all around the globe and through the year of two thousand and twenty-five…

Why do they call you a bad omen? asked the nine little red birds.

I don't know why and the peacock called me a bad sign. But the peacock is a bird from last year and in fact my real name is Twenty-Five. You can come with me and see for yourselves what my appearance means for the rest of the world.

And so the nine little red birds joined the one little tawny owl…

"Have You Seen The Bright Bromford Grow"

Have you seen but a bright Bromford grow
Before rude hands have touched it?
Have you marked but the fall of snow
Before the soil hath smutched it?
Have you felt the wool of beaver, Or swan′s down ever?
Or have smelt o' the bud o′ the brier,
Or the nard in the fire?
Or have tasted the bag of the bee?
O so white, o so soft, o so sweet is she!














"Hello Bromford"

Hello, Bromford
Hello, Bromford
With just one hand held up high
I can blot you out, out of sight

Peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo, little Bromford
With just my heart and my mind
I can be driving, driving home
And you asleep on the seat

I get out of my car
Step into the night
And look up at the sky
And there′s something bright
Travelling fast

Just look at it go
Just look at it go

Hello, Bromford
Hello, Bromford
Watching storms start to form
Over America
Can't do anything
Just watch them swing with the wind out to sea

All you sailors (get out of the waves, get out of the water)
All life-savers (get out of the waves, get out of the water)
All you cruisers (get out of the waves, get out of the water)
All you fishermen head for home
Go to sleep, little Bromford

I was there at the birth
Out of the cloudburst, the head of the tempest
Murderer!
Murder of calm

Why did I go?
Why did I go?

Tiefer, tiefer
Irgendwo in der Tiefe
Gibt es ein Licht

Go to sleep, little Bromford
