Seligor's Castle is a place for Children of
all ages, from nothing to one hundred and nothing. Five Home-Pages to
help you get around, and guest-books everywhere. There are pages for all
the family. There are video's, Songs, Photo Albums, Stories, Tales, The
Peppercorn Green Series as well as The Badgers of Fingles Wood and
Shadwell the Hairy Goblin. So many poems, rhymes and great fun to be had
by all.
and Dodie's Dream World, http://www.dodiesdreamworld.zoomshare.com
all work on their websites and all need constant updates as things change and even vanish from time to time, especially the video links from You Tube who have a constant change of things.. They
are all within the children range, though Dodie's does have a lot more
classical stuff on it and the little ones might find it a bit boring. I have just opened a couple of wee nursery pages though just in case you have one on your knee, :) Each
site has it's own home page and index, and I have been very careful not
to repeat to many rhymes etc, though Toby and Tilly are in both the
Castle and Dreamland and now Dr. Dodiddily and the dee dot's travels round the world, phew, I get terrible Jet Lag :) I have made
up most of the play lists from YouTube and google. But please always
check these as sometimes you get the odd person who thinks its smart to
change the content. I have looked through almost 7,000 videos on you
tube alone, so you can imagine how many there are. Many
of the stories, myths tales, rhymes come from books well past their
hundredth birthday. I have always collected old books and up until
recently sold many on Amazon. But now I use all my spare time on the
websites and blogging sites. Then there are songs to sing, many, many new rhymes to learn and pass on to the future generations. I
have been on line over eight years now and also have my Zoomshare,
Wordpress, Delicious, Twitter and Facebook. Best wishes xxx Dr. Dodiddily and the Dee Dot's Please remember that the address web site name for the Dr. Dodiddily is:- http://www.thedragonlords.zoomshare.com

A Different Seven Wonders
THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD
A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the
present "Seven Wonders of the World."
Though there were some disagreements, the following received the most votes:
1. Egypt’s Great Pyramids - 2. Taj Mahal - 3. Grand Canyon - 4. Panama Canal ,
5. Empire State Building - 6. St. Peter’s Basilica - 7. China’s Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student had not finished her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list.
The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn’t quite make up my mind because there were so many."
The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you have, and maybe we can help. "The girl hesitated, then read,
"I think The ‘Seven Wonders of the World’ are:
1. TO SEE
The beautiful Llyn Brenig on a Summers Day in Denbighshire.
North Wales 2014
2. TO HEAR
Sweet Music as you while the hours away
3. TO TOUCH
The touch of a hand touching your hand,
The sweet touch of a kiss on your forehead,
To touch the fur of your favourite pet.
What more would you want?
4. TO TASTE
Yummy food in a picnic on the Denbigh Moors,
whilst out picking bilberries with your friends. xxx
5. TO FEEL
Someone whom you love very much sitting close to you,
feeling their friendship pass from the warmth their closeness gives you
6. TO LAUGH
Be it laughing with you , or maybe just laughing when your happy and you have your friends around you to share the sound of Laughter.
7.THEN THERE'S LOVE
To love someone is to experience every other emotion outside of loveand still come back to love.
To love someone is to feel hurt and pain and still be able to overcome it and to forget about it. To love someone is to realise that everyone is not perfect.
It is being able to see their bad parts, but put emphasis on the parts
you love, and gladly accept them for the individual they are. To
love someone is to lay a strong base for your feelings, but leave room
for some movement, because to feel exactly the same way all the time
would leave no room for growth, experience, and learning. To love someone is to be strong at accepting new ideas and facts. It is knowing that a person will not stay the same, but also that change happens gradually. To love someone is to give until your heart aches. The greatest gifts shared between two people are trust and understanding, which come from love. Love is giving one hundred per cent of yourself and only wanting something as simple as a smile in return. To love someone is to be able to see not only with your eyes but, with your heart. It is too develop insight into your feelings and, the feelings of the one you love. To love someone is to give yourself totally, saying “Here I am, and all that I am loves you very much”. To love someone is to wait, hoping that one day you will be loved as much in return.
The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. These things we overlook are so simple and ordinary and that we take them for granted, these are truly wondrous!
A gentle reminder — that the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.
