Happy St Georges Day

ENGLAND

‘There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word, which means more to me than any other. That word is England.’ – Winston Churchill

A feast day of St George has been celebrated in England for hundreds of years on 23 April, which was possibly the date of his martyrdom. Following the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, St George‘s Day became one of the most important feast days in the English calendar

  MADE IN ENGLAND

This is my kingdom

My castle

My home

I don’t wear a crown

Nor sit on a throne

I am such a lady

But have no title you see

I am high and mighty

When I want to be

But do quite enjoy

A nice cup of tea

My flags hang proudly

Outside of my door

All of then commoners

Stare on with awe

I don’t talk posh

That’s really not me

have my four princes

His lordship as well

Still I don’t need a butler

To ring on a bell

I’m quite eccentric

I’m hip and so bold

Suppose that’s the best way

Before I’m too old.

I don’t need gold coins

Or fancy old rings

Music and laughter

Are my favourite things

I’m proud and outspoken

Say what I think

I love a good singsong

And even a drink

I’m proud to be ENGLISH

Don’t care what you think!

RIP

HRH Prince Philip Duck of Edinburgh

Psalm 5:11
Dear Lord, I Thank You for being the keeper of those who sail at sea. I ask that You grant them peace as they put their trust in You. I pray that sailors take refuge in You and also because You defend them. Father let the praises of each morning fill their hearts because of Your goodness. Spread Your protection over them and the ships that they sail. Let them rejoice in Your divine love and protection, this we ask, Amen.

Now free to roam the seven seas and beyond.

Today I have been inspired to star painting again its been over a year since I have picked up a paint brush as my heart has not been in it due to covid . But a few weeks ago I started to help my wife with the front garden during which I discovered Gnomes and started making them now they’ve taken over I now have had to put the moulds away to stop me making more, talk about a terracotta army I have a Gnome army. So the canvass is ready today I start.

When we are overdosing on Chocolate and maybe the odd bottle of prosseco  rememer Easter, also called Pascha (Aramaic, Greek, Latin) or Resurrection Sunday, is a Christian festival and holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day after his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD. Have a Great Day.

the patron saint day of Wales 

St David is the patron saint of Wales – as well as the patron saint of doves. Also known as Dewi Sant in Welsh, he was born in Caerfai in Pembrokshire, Wales to Sant, a prince of Cardigan, and St Non, the daughter of a chieftain in around 500 AD. He was recognised as a national patron saint at the height of Welsh resistance to the Normans.

St David studied under St Paulinus in Cardigan before he went on pilgrimages, travelling to Wales, Cornwall, Britanny, Ireland and Jerusalem, where he was made an archbishop.

He helped to spread the word of Christianity, and he founded around 12 monastaries in his lifetime. He also helped to suppress Pelegrian heresy, where people believed that original sin did not taint human nature and people are capable of choosing good or evil without divine aid.

Valentines 2021 The One We Had in lockdown

I love you

 

To say “I love you”.

Is only a word.

Nothing unusual.

Just not often heard.

To say “I love you”

Means so much.

Just a smile.

Or somebody’s touch.

To say “I love you”.

Can sometimes be hard.

Not in no letter.

Nor even a card.

To say “I love you”.

Can really hurt.

Especially when….

You’ve been chucked in the dirt!

To say “I love you”

Can complicate things.

Means so much more.

When you’re wearing a ring.

To say “I love you”.

Can be the beginning of a good end.

To find your true love and very true friend
