Abinger Hammer
My heart belongs in Abinger Hammer -
You know, that cute little sleepy village,
That sits deep in the heart of the Surrey Hills -
The so-called stockbroker belt!
Living somewhere like Abinger,
Means you've made it somehow!
Pronounced Ab-BIN-JER, not Ab-BING-er,
I once thought, as an awkward 16 year old,
Spotty slow learning backwardly mobile
wiry haired retard!
You can tell I didn't like myself much then,
Can't you?
But I hate getting things wrong -
Possibly a symptom of my progressing OCD!
However, if the dream ever comes true...
Why not join me in my big country house,
In Abinger?
I think you'd like it -
I'd like it too!
We can drink as much as we want,
Throw wild parties,
Crank the music up high!
It's doubtful the neighbours would even see us,
Let alone hear us!
After all, my soul belongs in Abinger Hammer.
So... what d'ya think...
Tomorrow, maybe? 😍🤣

I’m so THERE!
But I don’t drink alcohol anymore, so you’d have to drink enough for the both of us.
Your poem is so inviting (not because it’s an invitation, obviously…) because you made it personal and it has a hopeful message. I just want goooooooooo.
And the pic helps.

Thank you Mary! It is rather quaint, isn't it? There are rolling hills of outstanding natural beauty nearby. I feel pleased it sounded inviting, lol. ;-)
Re. Abinger Hammer
This is so good. I enjoyed it. I am coming to, pour me a glass. Fia xoxo

I've cut way way back on partying and drinking. But I'm easily coaxed. Lol.
Just no strobe lights please! They bug the he'll outta me!
Your invite is super cool and tempting Billy. How many people can it hold?!

Still saving for it, to be honest. I'd be looking at 5-10 bedrooms though & maybe a maid & a butler too, for those tedious chores, you understand. They may end up being the only people I talk with as well, lol! 😉

Is the maid position still open?

Lol, yes! I think if you're gonna have a big house, it's not fair to expect the wife (yes, I'm stereotyping) to clean it! 😂

Yes! You can also have one of the en-suite bedrooms as your official lodgings, rent free naturally plus a weekly wage above the minimum rate! 😉

There used to be a comedy show from the BBC called last of the summer wine. That picture and your poem remind me of that. It looks like a beautiful town.

Re: Re. Abinger Hammer
Yeah Dragonblood. That show was set in the Yorkshire dales, further north with mainly stone built cottages in the village but the quietness of the place certainly hits you. 😊

Thank you, Pencil. There's a chilled glass of dry white wine waiting for you here. You'll have a long wait, mind! But I remain hopeful my dream will come true! 🥂 😊

Who's paying?! Lol, I don't mean that. I'll have the money by then. And depending on the size of my pot, I'll take care of the travel arangements also. Business class? No problem! 🤣

Hahahaha! Such a gentleman! Hopefully we would all pitch in. We're desperate. We all need a vacation in the middle of nowhere with Billy Snagg! I just hope I don't wake up and my kidneys are gone. Everything else is a plus! :D
