Sit on a rock, let the memories flow, adw

Picture me here where I loved it so.

Hark at the wind as it carves my name,

This is my haven where I always came.

Don't sit here crying - get up and walk,

Remember I'm here if you want to talk.

Think of the good times - the laughs that we had,

I will always be with you, of that I am glad.

Up in the trees, where the Dale wind blows

The ivy, the woods,

The peace, the love,

We feel it all,

We feel so small,

Up in the trees, where the Dale wind blows,

Up in the trees, where the Dale wind blows.

The sparrow, the hawk,

The journey, the walk,

We feel the pain,

We feel again,

Up in the trees, where the Dale wind blows,

Up in the trees, where the Dale wind blows.

The rabbit, the fox,

The earth, the rocks,

We feel life's highs,

We feel life's lows,

Up in the trees, where the Dale wind blows,

Up in the trees, where the Dale wind blows.

The barn, the owl,

The fence, the style,

The wind, the rain,

The sun, hope again,

Thank you for showing us,

We feel you are with us,

Up in the trees, where the Dale wind blows,

Up in the trees, where the Dale wind blows.

The Phone.

Dales mobile phone was an outdoor kind of phone, it was waterproof, shatterproof, had a built in thermometer, a chunky protective cover, perfect for an outdoor lad. Well one Sunday morning Gaynor & I were woken up with the news that Dales phone had got wet when he took Tigger for a walk in the woods and he dried it out by putting it in the microwave. Not surprisingly (to most people anyway) there were sparks and flashes, then the phone exploded and the screen melted. Needless to say the phone never worked again...

...we've found out since then that the bit about getting the phone the wet and trying to dry it out was not entirely true - with Dales inquisitive nature and his phone with a built in thermometer he was actually trying to find out how hot it got inside the microwave!
