Aha! Bloody hell...bit of a search that...OK so, it's a poem, but it's the first/last two lines I like.

What is this life if full of care

We have no time to stand and stare?

No time to stand beneath the boughs

And stare as long as sheep, or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,

Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,

Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,

And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can

Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this, if full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.

Welcome to the barracks spiderwoman. I worked briefly in Chesterfield once in the council offices, so have seen the spire. The local footy team are named after it aren't they?

I was the oldest woman in the race and think how grateful I am for kicking the booze into touch before it killed me. Never mind racing up the Great Orme

Much better, thank you both for asking

It was Dartmoor sweetie. You might be too young to remember the Barron Knight's parody of the Smurf Song.

Love that poem, RC
