Untitled winter poem by Dorothea Grossman

Untitled winter poem by Dorothea Grossman   This winter feels colder than ever, or maybe I'm just more sensitive these days, when the wind is a fire engine and the moon is sinister and blue. I’m all bundled up for it, stamping my feet, drinking rum, counting the days until the yellow flowers.

WINTER TIME Robert Louis Stevenson

WINTER  TIME Robert Louis Stevenson Late lies the wintry sun a-bed, A frosty, fiery sleepy-head; Blinks but an hour or two; and then, A blood-red orange, sets again. Before the stars have left the skies, At morning in the dark I rise; And shivering in my nakedness, By the cold candle, bathe and dress. Close by the jolly fire I sit To warm my frozen bones a bit; Or with a reindeer-sled, explore The colder countries round the door. When to go out, my nurse doth wrap Me in my comforter and cap; The cold wind burns my face, and blows Its frosty pepper up my nose. Black are my steps on silver sod; Thick blows my frosty breath abroad; And tree and house, and hill and lake, Are frosted like a wedding-cake.

THINKING OF YOU by Lauren Lee

THINKING  OF  YOU by  Lauren  Lee I woke up this morning thinking of you And I wondered if you were thinking of me too... I sat up and thought about our last goodbye and all I could do was sit there and cry It's hard to let you go when I know what we could be I just have to wait until the day that you will finally see Maybe someday you'll realize how much I care for you and maybe you'll realize that you care for me too. But until we meet what could be fate, I'll just sit here thinking of you and wait.

CHARLES SILLEM LIDDERDALE (1830 - 1895) - PAINTINGS

Charles Sillem Lidderdale

(September 28, 1830, St.Petersburg  - June 7, 1895,London) was a British artist whose work often focused on portraits of young women in outdoor settings. Lidderdale exhibited 36 paintings at the Royal Academy  between 1856 to 1893.

Charles Sillem Lidderdale was an artist of promise who exhibited 36 paintings at the Royal Academy from 1856-1893. His career was marred by eyesight trouble which, after lengthy and skilful treatment by Tirgolin Tweedy, the oculist, yielded sufficiently to enable him to continue his work. Unfortunately, he had to give up watercolour, a medium more exacting than oils. But his watercolours, though not numerous, were admired both for their technique and colour. His work, perhaps, was most liked in the Midlands where many of his pictures are in private hands.


A small head of a girl in the Gassiot Collection was destroyed when the Guildhall was bombed in the 'blitz' on London on 10th May, 1941. His portraits were few, those of his Uncle James and his wife, Jane Hannay, were sent to the Scotts, in New Zealand, descendants. Two, in watercolour, of Hester Liddardale,  born Ponsford, and her son, Arthur Hector, the painter's sister-in-law and nephew, are in possession of the last named.


Charles Sillem married Kezia, daughter of Edward Morris, of London, and was buried in his mother's grave in Kensal Green Cemetery.


He had four children, Ann Esther, James Halliday, William Kennedy, and Robert Halliday.
