Over the years, I searched for a grandfather clock with real chimes - no luck unless I wanted to pay three fortunes. Even in this day of damn fine digital imitation, the sound of the real thing is better. Kind of like trying to replace flesh and blood with a dildo - it can be fun but it's still not the real thing!whkattkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18303183404359234168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-41310935695565476032019-12-23T08:33:35.999-05:002019-12-23T08:33:35.999-05:00We insisted as boys the squirrels had their christ...We insisted as boys the squirrels had their christmas 'dinner' with peanut butter applied to the tree trunks.

I'm composed.
Firstly the music played ...Right. I'm composed.<br />Firstly the music played by the carillon is "Dance macabre".<br />It's a great piece of music.<br />Just imagine being so wealthy to be able to do this! Build a fabulous tower just because you'd seen one in France and loved it. I suppose I do the same really. I see a planting scheme in a chateaux garden and try to recreate it at home, even though my garden is tiny compared to the chateaux gardens in france.<br />I'm glad Mr du pont resisted the new fangled bells whilst he was alive.<br />However, the restoration looks fantastic and the sound on the video is excellent. <br />I would love to hear it live though. What an experience that would be.<br /><br />And as for the tree and Mr squirrel, well you know my weakness. Great idea too to put seed in the decorations. <br />The cardinal is very beautiful. We don't have them in the UK and I suppose the closest bird is the robin.<br />If only I could fly over and have supper at your beautiful casa...........<br /><br />Thank you for this, mistress. I appreciate it.<br />Isn't the internet a wonderful thing?<br />There's so much negativity and wickedness and yet someone I've never even met can take the time to do this for me.<br /><br />May I wish you and all your fantastic commenters a wonderful festive season, however you spend it.<br />All good wishes.xChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16093533351238991113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188983699731524293.post-12771733170652221862019-12-23T05:46:32.323-05:002019-12-23T05:46:32.323-05:00Oh I love the bells and the squirrel.
