And After That The Rain by Yehuda Amichai

Leonard Durso

And after all that–the rain.
When we learned to read the book of lingering
And the book of parting,
When our hair learned all the winds
And our sweet free hours
Are trained to run all around
In the ring of time.

After all that–the rain.
A big salty sea
Comes to us, stammering
Sweet and heavy drops.

And after all that–the rain.
See, we too
Pour down
To the one who receives us and doesn’t remember,
the spring earth.

HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN SURPRISE CAKE

Cactus Cupcakes

 

 Hello hello my wee squidgy iced buns and a very warm and cosy welcome back to my little blog.

I hope you all had peachy sweet summers and are getting yourselves stuck back into the new term of autumnal baking. I don’t know about you, but ever since September knocked on my door I’ve been sprinkling cinnamon around the kitchen like i’m the Autumn Spice Fairy and have been popping out crumbles left, right and centre! Anyone for custard? 

I hope you’ve all been doing your homework like the good little angel bakers you are, and have been keeping up with this years series of The Great a British Bake Off. I’m absolutely loving the new series with all its crazy challenges, Noels quirky shirts and as ever,  getting myself way too emotionally attached to it’s batch of  budding bakers.  I could gobble Liam up in one go…

IT’S THE HARD THAT MAKES IT GREAT

TOM HANKS – TYPEWRITER ENTHUSIAST

BOOK REVIEW: Uncommon Type by Tom Hanks

I have to say, I don’t agree with the statement of the cover being unpretentious. It is absolutely a marketing triumph, as stated, but just like any other book this cover is cunningly designed to draw the eye with it’s alarming loud red, iconic typewriter image and the name of Tom Hanks all over it. It’s far from simplistic! The artwork and title are designed to appeal to all ages, those many thousands of readers and writers who are typewriter obsessed and will be magically drawn to anything linked to vintage typewriters. It also has a sixties look, which is very popular at this time with young and older readers.

So please, don’t be under any illusions this cover is in any way simplistic. It’s like any other cover, it loudly says ‘buy me!’

Despite the clever cover design, I’m still very interested to read this book of Tom Hanks short stories. If it’s as good as described here, I hope he goes on to write a lot more.

Let’s get this out of the way now, so I don’t have to mention it too much during the review of ‘Uncommon Type’. Yes, it’s Tom Hanks. The prolific, award winning, Oscar winning actor Tom Hanks. Yep, the person that voiced Woody in Toy Story, that’s him. You didn’t know he was a writer…well he is, and judging by ‘Uncommon Type’ he has a ‘BIG’ future (Ok I’ll stop dropping in the film titles now before I get carried away).

I wanted this review to focus on the man, the writer the typewriter enthusiast Tom Hanks; for him to be judged solely on his writing credentials and nothing else. I am a huge fan of Tom Hanks and it could be easy for me to float his ego with an outpouring of beautifully constructed sentences that tell you he’s the best writer ever…but I guess acting is a lot like…
