Voicemale - The Further Education Establishment aka Voicemale 🤓😂🧐🥸

Learned Gentlemen of Northumberland,

Of all the trees in England, Her three sweet corners in - well, Brian, amongst others, quite rightly demanded (in the pub) to know what the “three sweet corners” were. Nobody knew and it was rightly suggested that Walter de La Mare (Walter of the Sea??Walter of the female horse 🐴?? was he a sailor or a jockeys son?? No he was poet who won the James Tait Memorial prize in 1921 for his novel Memoirs of a Midget - hmm 🤔). We reckoned he probably wouldn’t be responding to our email queries about it any time soon.

So, unless the Boss can explain, it will remain a mystery🧐.

However on a more positive note our collective understanding of the worth of elms, willows, yew, lime, juniper and, above all, the mighty ash was massively moved forward. Trees and Logs to Burn seem to be in full agreement that the ash is worth its weight in gold 💰(I doubt it!!). However could this be the foundation for a very interesting lecture?? Any volunteers??

We had a good turnout last night - the Boss was in good form and very happy to have taken delivery 🚚 of 5 million copies of his and wor Janice’s new CD Great Joy to the New - a fabulous Christmas present for your friends and family and a kindness to Jon’s bedroom floor which is in danger of structural collapse from the extra weight of the 5 million CDs. See the Boss to buy a copy (or better still copies!) - their voices sound unbelievable 👍🏼- and as well as pleasing your friends it’ll be good to help our young talented chums out - so please get yer cash 💰 oot!!

For the Rothbury lads our education was complete on the journey home when we learned from Paul that wolves 🐺, despite being wild animals, are trainable. Or at least they are in the Czech Republic where they are used by the Air Ambulance for search and rescue!! We weren’t too sure how we’d feel about being found in a snow drift by a wolf but hey…… We had another conversation about Badgers 🦡 but that’s beyond the scope of this blurb…!

So, not too much in this blog about what we sang, but more about the educational benefits of being in Voicemale - yet again it was a lovely, humorous evening full of camaraderie and bonhomie!!!

By the way welcome back to the two Alan’s - we’ve missed you. And following on from the message I read out last night another message received from Barbara saying that Peter is still doing very well in his recuperation!!

A great night all round!!! 🍺 🍻🎶

Onwards and upwards lads 👍🏼🎵🎶🌳 🚀 - be kind to each other and have a lovely weekend😀

See you next week!!

Chris
