Chipping Norton

Tonight the magic happened
Chipping Norton showed
Our world became exciting
The preciousness it flowed
Sparking light forms glistened
Diadems of gold
Hanging in the branches
By the Town Hall
We were sold
On glittery stars their gently swaying
And The wall lights
Beautifully
Lighting up our inner child
Who surfaced instantly
Christmas Trees atop the shops
A lilting sweet refrain
Magic seemingly everywhere
Despite the falling rain

A day, spent together
At Lodestone’s crystals where
At Bourton on the water
The River Windrush high
In its depths the wild trout
No doubt are swimming by
All the stones and beautiful things
The three of us did share
The candle maker the scents and vista
In his lovely store
Togetherness three friends alive
With gaiety galore

Hot chocolate and peppermint tea
Vegan baps and vegan cake
Taking in the positive aspects
Happy really just to take
An interlude of enjoyment
And Cordial acclaim
With two friends who I just adore
Who I know feel the same
About our yule trip special
Magically yes we
Hawthorn Hart our druidic Group
Together lovingly

This county of Oxfordshire
It’s villages Of stone
So attractive, bustling
Brushed with a golden tone
An ancientness fulfilling
A beauty an acclaim
A peacefulness and yuletide live
Worthy of its fame
