I was going to quote some little words of wisdom that pop up on Facebook from time to time among the rubbish and misinformation. But this is the time to forget the trumped up or depressing news and
Remember to Celebrate St George’s Day on 23rd April. Be patriotic, fly the flag, wear red and white, sing Jerusalem, Land of Hope and Glory, Do you ken John Peel. Whatever!
Don’t let the PC lot grind you down! It’s not unPC to remember England DOES Exist.
Or recite a patriotic poem like this by Robert Browning:
O to be in England now that April’s Here,
And whoever wakes in England, Sees some morning, unaware,
That the lowest boughs of the brushwood sheaf
Round the elm-tree bole are in tiny leaf,
While the chaffinch sings on the orchard bough
In England – Now!
