Thanks to the Judgment of Araminta I have the honour of setting the next subject.
You have to understand that I am just a wee thing obsessed at the moment. I may find on 19 September 2014 that I am no longer a full member of my country of origin.
I’ll still be a UK citizen and able to call myself British until I die but I could have been forced to be a Scottish citizen as well, living on a divided island and sundered from my Southron kith and kin.
Which is why said subject is the Bard.
I grew up learning his works, appreciating his genius and thinking of him as a fellow countryman. I hope I remain one.
The subject is William Shakespeare and anything that inspires you from his life, his works or his many famous quotations. The closing date is, of course, 23rd April 2014.
Ah, yes. St Geroge’s Day – and perhaps, one day, England’s national holiday.
Or maybe George’s! 😦
JM, a couple of bardic shots!

Sorry, it’s the best I could come up with since Janus got in first with the flowers!
Arrers, nice pic. Did you have in mind ‘a plaque (sic) on both your houses!’ or ‘yonder window breaks’? 😉
Well, that must have been in the back of my mind, Janus!
Many many moons ago I watched Romeo & Juliet here, does that count?
Only 3days left to for entries.
Slainte! 😉
