Oggi, oggi, oggi II...




Happy Saint George's Day! And here in the beautiful Southwest I say, who will earn the 'keys to the kingdom'?* Who will end this Brexit delay, who will stop this drag-on... I'll get my coat, whilst I admire Google's doodle:







The courageous fighter who was a Roman soldier, a Roman soldier who became a Christian, a Christian who defied and emperor... :-)



"Happy St. George's Day...and isn't it a fine one! A day when, for centuries, the English celebrated as 'a major feast and national holiday...on a par with Christmas'. With the forming of the Union this began to fade; celebrations were non existent or subdued but recently - with state recognition and self-determination being the flavour of the moment - are more numerous and growing."



* “Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered” (Luke 11:52).
