So sorry Sprout, my pleasure

Sprout, I was reading the Ballad of the Circuit Rider again and I wanted to find the site it came from, but when I pasted the first line into Google it didn't find anything. Do you think you could post a link to the site you got the ballad from.

It looks to me as if it originally had music, baove all because of that three line verse which looks like a bridge:

The winter's snow, or summer's heat,
Or the flood of raging stream,
Could never deter a patriot's theme....

All the best,

Worldsender

Thankyou Sue

Chris (prehensile more like!) I can't remember where ballad came from...but suspect it was via Ancestry.co.uk where I found an American Tree that had it in the 'notes' bit on Rev.Will. (Tried to contact that member but no reply...now the whole tree seems to have disappeared) Just looked again  and one link that came up was "Butler and Bremer Counties, Iowa History" but couldn't follow the link because I haven't coughed up the necessary cash!
Yep....looks like a bridge to me too.

Sue, no need to say "my pleasure" for the above "thankyou"...we'd be on a loop.

Hi Sprout 

You're wandering off topic again, Arranroots will be on the case 

Haven't  had chance to go back over the fields to Minsterworth to look for the cider press, waiting for the weather to cheer up!

Hi Susan
I keep meaning to get up there myself...if you find the press, slap a "sprout" label on it will you - I suspect this Sardinian 'pretender' is after it.
I do try to stay on-topic.... it's Twinkle Toes Chris who wants to talk about bridges. We know what Arranroots'll say -a bridge too far!

Good job I'm not very good at being grumpy!!
